The Future of Automotive Industry by 2035: A Technological and Environmental Transformation
Key Ideas
  • Electric vehicles poised to dominate, with solid-state batteries and alternative chemistries advancing by 2035, reducing reliance on scarce materials and extending vehicle ranges.
  • Autonomous driving set to reach Level 4 in urban areas by 2035, reshaping car ownership patterns and optimizing traffic flow.
  • Car ownership expected to decline as Mobility-as-a-Service platforms rise, offering subscription-based models and impacting urban land use.
  • Hydrogen fuel cells to gain traction in heavy-duty and luxury segments by 2035, with advancements in green hydrogen production and infrastructure expansion.
The automotive industry is on the cusp of significant transformation by 2035, driven by technological advancements and environmental considerations. Electric vehicles (EVs) are set to dominate new car sales globally, with solid-state batteries and alternative chemistries like sodium-ion and graphene-based solutions reducing reliance on scarce materials. Autonomous driving is anticipated to reach Level 4 autonomy in urban areas, potentially reshaping car ownership patterns and traffic management. Mobility-as-a-Service platforms are expected to diminish traditional car ownership, with subscription-based models offering access to EVs and autonomous shuttles. Additionally, hydrogen fuel cell vehicles (FCVs) will carve a niche in heavy-duty and luxury segments by 2035, aided by advances in green hydrogen production. Furthermore, additive manufacturing, or 3D printing, will revolutionize vehicle manufacturing by enabling on-demand production of parts and customization, reducing waste and shrinking supply chains. These changes signify a positive shift towards sustainable and technologically advanced solutions in the automotive industry.
