The mobility ecosystem has seen two major shifts in the past two decades: EVs have moved from a niche for enthusiasts to an affordable option for a broad audience, and automation has transformed the role of humans in transportation. These technologies are only beginning to reach mass markets in tandem, with adoption slower in commercial sectors where they are just entering last-mile delivery. This step is critical for building the physical and digital networks necessary for full deployment and offers companies valuable insights into design, production, application, and management at scale through a low-risk, widespread commercial use case. By embracing electrification and automation in commercial markets, consumer mobility can more easily become safer and cleaner. In this report, Guidehouse Research examines the need for greater commercial penetration of electrification and automation and how companies capitalizing on this space can make significant inroads to an unevenly developing market.
