e-Corner Market Size and Share Analysis: Trends Shaping the Future to 2035
The global e-Corner market is projected to grow from 128 thousand units in 2024 to 3,109 thousand units by 2035 at a CAGR of 33.7%. An e-Corner system is an advanced, modular technology designed to control the motion and dynamics of a vehicle. The e-Corner system is designed as a detachable unit to a specialized vehicle platform via bolted connections and a power connector, facilitating ease of assembly and modular design flexibility. All the functions within an e-Corner system are managed through an integrated electrical control system, which communicates with the vehicle’s central control unit. Depending upon the configuration, a vehicle can utilize either a tri-motor or quad-motor (in-wheel/near-wheel) configuration, enabling enhanced maneuverability, precise motion control, and scalability for applications such as electric, autonomous, and modular vehicles.
Light Commercial Vehicle will
be the largest market growing segment in North America during the forecast
period.
North America is leading the
e-corner system market for the light commercial vehicles, with home to leading
OEMs such as Tesla, GM, and Rivian among others, and is also a strong
operational base for e-corner module manufacturers such as REE. These OEMs incorporate
e-Corner Module in their light commercial vehicles such as GMC Hummer EV, Tesla
Cybertruck, Rivian R1T with quad-motor configurations. One of the local OEMs,
Rivian plans to integrate its electric vehicle design intellectual property
(IP) into new models such as R1T (quad-motor variant) and other upcoming
models, which are likely to boost the sales of this vehicle lineup. Apart from
Light commercial vehicles these e-Corner module manufacturers are also
exploring the opportunities in heavy commercial vehicles. REE is expanding
their regional integration centres and manufacturing units. For instance, In
July 2024, REE Automotive continued its regional expansion in North America,
securing a USD 45.35 million funding round and a strategic manufacturing agreement
with Motherson Group. This development, alongside the launch of production in
Michigan and Maryland, positioned REE to meet the increasing demand for
software-defined electric trucks.

By Motor Configuration, the
quad-motor segment is projected to account for the largest share of the
e-Corner market during the forecast period
The e-Corner with quad-motor
configuration offers superior performance, enhanced control, and unmatched
versatility compared to tri-motor configuration. With independent torque
vectoring for each wheel, they deliver exceptional traction, stability, and adaptability
across varied terrains, including off-road and adverse weather conditions. For
instance, Tesla Cybertruck with quad-motor configuration delivers power over
746 kW, providing advanced off-road capabilities such as tank turns. This motor
configuration provides higher power output, faster acceleration, and increased
towing capacity, appealing to consumers seeking high-performance EVs. As
manufacturers continue to push the boundaries of vehicle performance, the
quad-motor configuration is expected to gain traction, especially in
high-performance EVs designed for specialized applications such as robotaxis
and high-end luxury EVs such as Yangwang U8.
Europe will grow at fastest
CAGR during the forecast period.
The region is home to the leading
electric corner module manufacturers, such as Schaeffler AG, Continental AG,
REE and ZF Friedrichshafen AG among others. These manufacturers are investing
heavily on R&D to incorporate e-Corner module in the EV platforms. For
instance, in March 2021, REE Automotive launched five advanced REEcornerâ„¢
architectures and EV platforms for commercial EVs in the region. In November
2021, REE launched its first European Integration Centre in Coventry, UK, to
advance commercial production of its P7 electric platform for commercial
vehicles. Germany leads the e-corner system market due to investments in
infrastructure by companies like Volkswagen in R&D expansion and
partnerships with technology providers such as Deepdrive. Market players such
as Continental, DeepDrive, and REE are partnering with local technology
providers to co-develop electric corner modules, revolutionizing vehicle
electrification through investments in infrastructure. For instance, in October
2023, Continental and Munich-based DeepDrive formed a strategic partnership to
develop an innovative electric vehicle drive-brake system. The collaboration
focused on integrating a dual-rotor electric motor with brake technology
directly mounted on vehicle wheels, enhancing efficiency, and reducing space
requirements.
Key Market Players:
The major players dominating the
e-Corner market are Schaeffler AG (Germany), Protean (UK), Hyundai Mobis (South
Korea), REE (Israel), Continental AG (Germany), and Elaphe LTD (Slovenia) among
others. And leading OEMs incorporating e-Corner modules are BYD (China), Tesla
(US), and Hyundai Motor Company (South Korea), among others.
