Global Electric Traction Motor Overview
Electric motor that is used for propulsion of electric locomotive and electric roadway vehicle is known as traction motor. Electric traction is used in various sectors such as powered rail vehicles ( electric multiple units), electric vehicles including electric milk floats, elevators, roller coasters, conveyors and trolleybuses, and battery electric vehicles.
Regenerative braking system is used to increase the efficiency of cutting and setting the power backup on traction line, while efficiency is increased to 90% that gives benefit to the electric locomotives. Ac motor inverter system are used in newly electric locomotives that helps to provide regenerative braking system. Traction motors are required to have two main qualities, one is high initial torque to ignite up against the heavy loads and other is variation in speed depending upon the condition of torque. Electric traction is used to alter the torque from high to low and vice versa.
Market Size & Forecast
Global Electric Traction Motor market is expected to hold a positive share of market around USD 33 billion in 2027 at a CAGR of 18.10% from USD 6 billion in 2018 in the forecast period i.e. 2018-2027. On the basis of regional platform, global Electric Traction System market is segmented into five major regions including North America, Europe, Asia Pacific, Latin America and Middle East & Africa region.
