Automobile market: Finding new directions for development
With the global economic recovery and the trend of consumption upgrading, the automotive industry is in a stage of continuous change. The market's requirements for automobile iteration and cost reduction continue to deepen, and traditional manufacturers are facing huge challenges. In this context, the concept of skateboard chassis has once again attracted the attention of many companies and has become one of the important directions for future development.
Skateboard chassis: Breakthrough points and opportunities
The skateboard chassis integrates the battery, motor, electronic control, steering, brake, suspension and other components on an independent chassis in advance, realizing the separation design and decoupling of the body and chassis. Its core value lies in shortening the automobile development cycle and reducing automobile development and manufacturing costs. This new technical concept originated from General Motors more than 20 years ago, and was later successfully popularized by Rivian, known as the "Tesla killer". This technology has received widespread attention around the world, especially in the field of electric vehicles, and it has become one of the important directions for the development of future vehicle technology.
Market prospects of skateboard chassis
The market prospects for skateboard chassis are very broad. The "Global Skateboard Chassis Market Report 2023-2029" released by QYResearch shows that the global skateboard chassis market size is expected to reach US$55.08 billion in 2029, with a compound annual growth rate of 22.1% in the next few years. However, there are also many challenges behind this.
Technical and business challenges
The popularization of skateboard chassis technology faces technical and commercial challenges. First, in terms of technology, skateboard chassis still have problems such as immature wire control technology and obstacles in the application of hub motors in passenger cars. Second, in terms of business, companies are more willing to put the chassis, one of the "three major parts", in their own R&D system rather than cooperate with third-party suppliers. The uncertainty of market demand for a standardized chassis has also become one of the challenges.
Opportunities for cross-sector players
In recent years, a lot of cross-border capital has poured into the car manufacturing industry, such as the Internet, traditional mobile phones, and home appliance industries. The skateboard chassis can lower the threshold for these companies to build cars, allowing them to focus more on product definition and smart driving, smart cockpits, and vehicle styling design that are strongly related to consumer experience. For example, CATL has cooperated with Nezha Auto and expanded to Vinfast, Avita, JAC Group, and BAIC Group in Vietnam.
Future Outlook
The commercialization prospects of skateboard chassis technology are worth looking forward to. Standardized chassis will promote the development of the entire automotive industry and attract more and more companies to participate. With the continuous advancement of technology, skateboard chassis will become a new development direction for the future automotive manufacturing industry, changing the development model of the traditional automotive market.
