Abstract

The automotive industries are enduring a technological transition, as the Internal Combustion Engine (ICE) technology is slowly being switched by electric engine technology. This transition will bring a drastic change in the automobile industry in many aspects. ‘Go electric’ has already started becoming the trend in the common public; simultaneously, the automakers are in full swing to fulfil the public demand. An Electric Vehicle (EV) has become the most prominent alternative for ICE vehicles, which utilizes a battery, electric motor and transmission system. EV being more environmental-friendly vehicles, offer low-cost maintenance, but the higher initial cost is driving potential buyers away. Keeping this in mind, the worldwide manufacturers are researching to make electric cars affordable for common people. The transition from ICE to EV will lead in reduction of part demand of the existing automotive. There may also be a social adverse effect as there may arise loss of jobs or closure of existing traditional automobile industries. This study aims to contribute in understanding the opportunities and consequences of EV transitions elated to the metal casting industries. The paper also discusses the impacts of electric vehicle platforms on the metal casting industry and a life cycle analysis of ICE and EV technology to decide a better option for market sustainability in long run. An attempt is made to highlight unresolved issues for embracing EV’s.
