For instance, NTN, which is a Japan-based company, supplies in-wheel motors to the electric vehicle start-up FSAT (Changchun Fawsn Auto Tech).
In-wheel motor is majorly found in electric commercial vehicles; therefore, governments of various countries in the Asia Pacific region are focusing on electric commercial vehicles. For example, even in developing countries like India, the government has announced phase 2 of its Faster Adoption and Manufacturing of Hybrid and Electric Vehicles (FAME II) scheme in April 2019 with an outlay of over USD 1.4 billion. In 2021, the scheme got an extension till March 2024 to further facilitate the growth of EV and its infrastructure. Besides, OEMs such as BYD are planning to open manufacturing plants of electric buses and electric trucks to meet the regional demand in different countries of Asia Pacific.
