The global motorized quadricycle market size was valued at $460.1 million in 2021, and is projected to reach $1,156.6 million by 2031, growing at a CAGR of 9.9% from 2022 to 2031.

A motorized quadricycle, also known as a microcar, is a four-wheeled motor vehicle that falls into the same category as mopeds which offers a speed range of 45 to 100 kilometers per hour. It is a new category of a mini fuel-efficient vehicle, which is majorly used in urban areas for local transportation amid high traffic congestion in developed cities. Also, these vehicles are light in weight compared to conventional four-wheelers; hence, they emit low carbon in the environment. Motorized quadricycles are divided into the L6e light quadricycle and the L7e heavy quadricycle. Light quadricycles are limited to a speed of 45 kmph, while heavy quadricycles are not speed-limited and may have a speed of up to 100 kmph. However, motorized quadricycles are exempt from the stringent regulations and safety inspections required for passenger cars. They can operate and drive on public highways without a full driving license.

Motorized Quadricycle Market

Currently, with the increase in level of vehicular emissions globally, several OEMs are focusing on developing battery-powered lightweight quadricycles that can deliver performance equivalent to conventional ones and increase savings on fuel costs. For instance, in June 2020, Goupil, a pioneer in electrical utility vehicles, launched G6, the new utility vehicle to offer high-quality services in the category of electric utility vehicles under 3.5 tons. This new utility vehicle comes with a comprehensive set of standard equipment: a 3-seater cab, electric windows, heated wing mirrors, regenerative braking, light and rain sensor, 5000W heater. Furthermore, OEMs have heavily invested in R&D to develop fully automated motorized quadricycles.

In addition, these vehicles are anticipated to replace conventional taxis in the near future and are an alternative to two-wheel riders, as they are exposed to extreme weather conditions. For instance, in 2019, Bajaj Auto entered into a strategic tie-up with Uber for introducing its new range of motorized quadricycle ‘Bajaj Qute’.

Rising traffic congestion

The increasing urbanization indicates the rising complexities in cities across the globe, with traffic congestion, being one of those issues. The elevated sales of vehicles since the consumers’ growing inclination toward cost-efficient and environment-friendly cars will act as a driving factor for the automobile sector. Although, the rapid increase in vehicle sales resulted in traffic congestion and a lack of parking space in developing cities. For instance, major countries in Europe such as France, Spain, Italy, etc. witness heavy traffic congestion and smog formation due to several vehicles present on the road. Increased traffic congestion has also significantly increased commute time, which is a significant concern for end users. This has fueled the demand for compact and small-sized cars. Several governments have adopted initiatives to handle growing traffic congestion. Thus, motorized quadricycles are expected to present themselves as an effective solution in the upcoming years. Also, low cost, reduced stringency of regulations, and tax benefits, especially on electric quadricycles, are likely to drive the growth of the market.

Increasing demand for lightweight vehicles

The automotive industry is racing toward a new world with growing sustainability, changing consumer behavior, encompassing electric vehicles, connected cars, mobility fleet sharing, and improving lifestyles. For instance, according to European Automobile Manufacturers’ Association (ACEA), in June 2021, passenger car registrations in the European Union increased by 10% compared to last year's same month owing to their hybrid nature & increased fuel efficiency. Meanwhile, many manufacturers are focusing on developing lightweight quadricycles that can develop performance and control the fuel emission of the vehicle. The effort to utilize lightweight materials for manufacturing is likely to reduce the weight of the vehicle considerably. As per the European Regulation Act, the weight of these vehicles should not exceed 750 kg. Hence, the majority of the manufacturers are installing lightweight components that have fewer linkages and, in turn, would lead to increased performance and reduced fuel emissions. Furthermore, quadricycles typically weigh less than 550 kg and provide continuous maximum power of less than 15kW. These factors are subsequently responsible for excellent fuel efficiency, which is expected to further drive their adoption amongst the urban population.

Lack of passenger safety

Road accidents are a significant concern worldwide, especially when driving on roads with heavy traffic & terrible weather conditions. According to World Health Organization, nearly 1.25 million people die in road accidents each year. Over the past few years, consumers’ lifestyles have become hectic with unfavourable driving protocols witnessed, such as surfing, messaging, and speaking on the phone while driving, which eventually results in automotive accidents. In recent years, crash tests conducted by Euro NCAP established that motorized quadricycles lacked passenger safety even at a speed of 50 kmph. These tests included frontal and side crash tests, which exposed passengers’ safety in these vehicles. Thus, a lack of awareness of passenger safety in current models will restrain the growth of the market during the forecast period.
