The off-highway electric vehicle (OHEV) market is set to expand significantly, with projections indicating growth from $5.48 billion in 2024 to $56.48 billion by 2034. This expansion is largely driven by the increasing adoption of electric technologies in the construction, agriculture, and mining sectors as they strive to reduce emissions and improve operational efficiencies. Key factors contributing to this growth include technological innovations in battery efficiency, charging infrastructure, and the performance of electric vehicles, all bolstered by stringent environmental regulations and a broader focus on sustainability. North America currently leads the market, benefiting from a strong industrial base and supportive government policies, while major companies like AB Volvo and Caterpillar are at the forefront of developing sustainable electric solutions. As the demand for emissions and noise reduction in industrial practices rises, the OHEV market continues to garner attention despite challenges such as high upfront costs and energy storage limitations.

Elsewhere in the market, Tesla was a standout up 9.8% and finishing the session at $284.95. In the meantime, Zhejiang Wanfeng Auto Wheel trailed, down 5.2% to end trading at CN¥16.33.
