The popularization of new energy heavy-duty trucks is disrupting the traditional decorative parts market. Firstly, electric heavy-duty trucks have a higher demand for lightweight decorative components due to their large battery weight. For example, a carbon fiber grille designed by a certain brand for electric vehicles can reduce weight by 50 kilograms, which is equivalent to increasing the range by 10 kilometers.
Secondly, new energy vehicles place greater emphasis on aerodynamic optimization. The drag coefficient of traditional fuel vehicles is generally above 0.6. while electric heavy-duty trucks can reduce the drag coefficient to 0.4 and increase the range by 5% -8% through the design of streamlined side skirts and retractable deflectors.
Thirdly, intelligent interactive functions have become a new selling point. For example, a certain electric heavy-duty truck embeds a touch screen in the door decoration strip, which can display information such as battery level and route navigation. For decoration companies, compatibility design with the three electrical systems (battery, motor, and electronic control) will be a key focus of future technological breakthroughs.
It is predicted that the penetration rate of new energy heavy-duty trucks will exceed 15% by 2025. and the market size of related decorative parts may exceed 5 billion yuan. Enterprises that plan ahead in this field are expected to seize the next wave of growth dividends.
