The automobile regulatory framework in Europe and North America has been instrumental in creating a sustainable environment in the automobile industry. The latest regulatory framework, the Euro 6, which was introduced in 2011 and came into effect in September 2014, changed the regulatory standards that have been crucial in determining the dynamics of the automotive market in the region. Since 2013, the EC (European Commission), along with EEA/EMEP, has been maintaining the record of emission performance standard for each new vehicle registered in Europe. The emission regulations bind the automotive manufacturers together. The freight companies and fleet owners are rapidly moving toward incorporating more technologies that are expected to reduce the average emission rate. Thereby, a need to reduce vehicle weight for lowering emission levels has greatly encouraged the employment of high pressure die casting (HPDC) parts in vehicles.

The global ground support equipment market involves the study of various GSE applications such as aircraft handling, passenger handling, and cargo handling. For instance, GSE such as deicers, ground power units, fuel trucks, pre-conditioned air (PCA) units, and hydrant trucks are especially deployed for aircraft handling. Equipment such as belt loaders/conveyors, cabin service vehicles, boarding stairs, lavatory service vehicles, and passenger buses serve the purpose of passenger handling. In addition, cargo/container loaders, pushback tractors, and forklifts are used for cargo handling application. Powered equipment consist of refuelers, ground power equipment, tugs & tractors, portable water truck, generators, baggage conveyor/belt loader, passenger buses, catering truck, passenger boarding stairs, air compressors, portable floodlights, air conditioners, container loaders, lavatory service vehicles, and de-icing vehicles. Equipment studied under non-powered GSE include chocks baggage carts, trestles, intake exhaust cover, oil cart, air cart, dollies, sling cables, ladders, and aircraft jacks.

Wireless power transmission involves the transfer of electrical power from transmitter to receiver without any wired connection. Introduction of smart charging mats and newly launched ground pads specifically for electric vehicles increases the demand for wireless charging systems globally. Increase in sales of electric vehicles (EVs), constant advancements in portable electronics as well as wearables, and frequent need for harvesting ambient RF energy are expected to drive the growth of the global wireless electric vehicle charging market during the forecast period. However, expensive technology for its integration and slower charging as compared to other charging technologies hamper the market growth. The wireless electric vehicle charging market is segmented on the basis of power source, installation, distribution channel, vehicle type, and region. The power source segment is divided into 3≤11 kW, 11–50 kW, and >50 kW. Based on installation, the market is bifurcated into home and commercial. Depending on distribution channel, it is segregated into OEMs and aftermarket. The vehicle type segment is classified into battery electric vehicles (BEV), plug-in hybrid electric vehicle (HEV), and commercial electric vehicles. Region wise, it is studied across North America, Europe, Asia-Pacific, and LAMEA.
