Industry Highlights

During H1FY23, domestic automobile sales grew by 31% YTD. Growth across the segments has been aided by a gradual improvement in festive season demand, the low base of last year, and an improvement in semiconductor supplies.

Passenger Vehicles: The PV segment has recorded higher sales in H1FY23 with a growth of 40% YTD. This was led by increasing demand for premium vehicles and new model launches. In Q2FY23, the PV segment saw a growth of 41% over Q2FY22.

Commercial Vehicles: The commercial vehicle segment grew by 68% in H1FY23. There has been a recovery in the Medium and Heavy Commercial Vehicle (MHCV) segment led by a pick- up in road construction projects and strong demand for Light Commercial Vehicles (LCV) led by increasing last-mile mobility. In Q2FY23, the CV segment domestic sales grew by 40%.

Two Wheelers: The 2W segment, which has been under stress since the Covid-19 outbreak, now appears to be on a recovery path and has shown a growth of 28% in H1FY23. In Q2FY23, the 2W segment domestic sales grew by 13% on account of gradual recovery due to festive season demand.

Tractors: The tractor sales picked up in H1FY23 owing to the festive season boost. In Q2FY23, domestic sales grew by 5% due to better monsoons and higher farm income.

About Motor Control Unit (MCU)

A Motor Control Unit (MCU) is an electronic module that interfaces with the Motor as well as the Battery Pack to control the electric vehicle’s speed, acceleration and range based on the throttle input.

MCUs are one of the most important components of an EV and require a combination of power electronics, motor control algorithm and firmware expertise.

In the absence of a VCU, the MCU also controls some basic vehicle level functionality.

EV powertrain usually describes a sub-system consisting of the motor, controller and gearbox/differential. Some EV powertrain suppliers may also include the battery pack, the AC/DC and DC/DC convertors, the wiring harnesses and possibly the instrument cluster so as to provide a comprehensive solution for the entire electrical sub-system.

MCUs make upto 10% of electric 2W cost.
