Two-wheelers are preferred in South America for urban mobility due to affordability, with varying adoption rates across countries

  • The two-wheeler market in South America has a very strong preference for motorcycles and scooters as economical and practical transportation options. While economic challenges and safety concerns are prevalent, the potential for growth, especially in the electric two-wheeler segment, presents opportunities for manufacturers and policymakers to cater to evolving consumer needs and sustainability goals.
  • The two-wheeler market in South America reflects diverse preferences and usage patterns across different countries, influenced by factors such as urbanization, economic conditions, and transportation infrastructure. Brazil is the largest two-wheeler market in South America, with motorcycles being the preferred mode of transportation for a significant portion of the population. The market is driven by the need for affordable and efficient transportation solutions, especially in urban and semi-urban areas. Brazil has a robust local manufacturing industry, with major global and local brands offering a wide range of two-wheelers.
  • The country also sees significant interest in off-road motorcycles due to its diverse terrain. The two-wheeler market in Argentina caters to a mix of commuters looking for cost-effective transport solutions and enthusiasts who prefer motorcycles for leisure. Economic fluctuations have impacted the market, but two-wheelers remain a popular choice due to their low cost of ownership and operation. There is a growing interest in electric models, although the market is still in its early stages.

South America Two-Wheeler Market Trends

Surging demand and government incentives propel South America's electric vehicle market

  • Countries like Brazil and Argentina in South America show significant potential in the automobile market. The South American vehicle industry has witnessed notable growth in recent years. Notably, the region has seen a rising demand for electric vehicles (EVs), especially in the passenger car segment. This surge can be attributed to factors like heightened awareness, growing environmental concerns, and governmental initiatives promoting EV adoption. In fact, EV sales in the region saw a notable increase, growing by 17.95% in 2022 compared to 2021.
  • South America, with its diverse markets, is poised for a surge in electric vehicles. Brazil, in particular, is eyeing a shift toward electric buses, driven by its focus on renewable power generation and its abundant reserves of niobium and lithium, crucial for EV battery development. A significant move in this direction came in December 2022 when Sao Paulo banned diesel bus purchases and announced plans to deploy 2600 electric buses by 2024-end. Similar trends in other South American nations are expected to drive vehicle electrification from 2024 to 2030.
  • Government policies and incentive programs across South American nations are set to be key drivers for vehicle electrification in the region. Tax benefits, for instance, are playing a pivotal role. Colombia's government, for instance, is leveraging incentives and subsidies with an ambitious target of putting 600,000 EVs on its roads by 2030, aiming to tackle carbon emissions. With similar initiatives anticipated in other South American countries, the sales of EVs are expected to witness a surge from 2024 to 2030.

Market Definition

  • Vehicle Type - The category covers motorized two-wheelers.
  • Vehicle Body Type - This includes Scooters and Motorcycles, while Kick-scooters and Bicycles are excluded.
  • Fuel Category - Coverage extends to vehicles powered by Internal Combustion Engines (ICE) and electric propulsion systems.
Keyword Definition
Electric Vehicle (EV) A vehicle which uses one or more electric motors for propulsion. Includes cars, buses, and trucks. This term includes all-electric vehicles or battery electric vehicles and plug-in hybrid electric vehicles.
BEV A BEV relies completely on a battery and a motor for propulsion. The battery in the vehicle must be charged by plugging it into an outlet or public charging station. BEVs do not have an ICE and hence are pollution-free. They have a low cost of operation and reduced engine noise as compared to conventional fuel engines. However, they have a shorter range and higher prices than their equivalent gasoline models.
PEV A plug-in electric vehicle is an electric vehicle that can be externally charged and generally includes all-electric vehicles as well as plug-in hybrids.
Plug-in Hybrid EV A vehicle that can be powered either by an ICE or an electric motor. In contrast to normal hybrid EVs, they can be charged externally.
Internal combustion engine An engine in which the burning of fuels occurs in a confined space called a combustion chamber. Usually run with gasoline/petrol or diesel.
Hybrid EV A vehicle powered by an ICE in combination with one or more electric motors that use energy stored in batteries. These are continually recharged with power from the ICE and regenerative braking.
Commercial Vehicles Commercial vehicles are motorized road vehicles designed for transporting people or goods. The category includes light commercial vehicles (LCVs) and medium and heavy-duty vehicles (M&HCV).
Passenger Vehicles Passenger cars are electric motor– or engine-driven vehicles with at least four wheels. These vehicles are used for the transport of passengers and comprise no more than eight seats in addition to the driver’s seat.
Light Commercial Vehicles Commercial vehicles that weigh less than 6,000 lb (Class 1) and in the range of 6,001–10,000 lb (Class 2) are covered under this category.
M&HDT Commercial vehicles that weigh in the range of 10,001–14,000 lb (Class 3), 14,001–16,000 lb (Class 4), 16,001–19,500 lb (Class 5), 19,501–26,000 lb (Class 6), 26,001–33,000 lb (Class 7) and above 33,001 lb (Class 8) are covered under this category.
Bus A mode of transportation that typically refers to a large vehicle designed to carry passengers over long distances. This includes transit bus, school bus, shuttle bus, and trolleybuses.
Diesel It includes vehicles that use diesel as their primary fuel. A diesel engine vehicle have a compression-ignited injection system rather than the spark-ignited system used by most gasoline vehicles. In such vehicles, fuel is injected into the combustion chamber and ignited by the high temperature achieved when gas is greatly compressed.
Gasoline It includes vehicles that use gas/petrol as their primary fuel. A gasoline car typically uses a spark-ignited internal combustion engine. In such vehicles, fuel is injected into either the intake manifold or the combustion chamber, where it is combined with air, and the air/fuel mixture is ignited by the spark from a spark plug.
LPG It includes vehicles that use LPG as their primary fuel. Both dedicated and bi-fuel LPG vehicles are considered under the scope of the study.
CNG It includes vehicles that use CNG as their primary fuel. These are vehicles that operate like gasoline-powered vehicles with spark-ignited internal combustion engines.
HEV All the electric vehicles that use batteries and an internal combustion engine (ICE) as their primary source for propulsion are considered under this category. HEVs generally use a diesel-electric powertrain and are also known as hybrid diesel-electric vehicles. An HEV converts the vehicle momentum (kinetic energy) into electricity that recharges the battery when the vehicle slows down or stops. The battery of HEV cannot be charged using plug-in devices.
PHEV PHEVs are powered by a battery as well as an ICE. The battery can be charged through either regenerative breaking using the ICE or by plugging into some external charging source. PHEVs have a better range than BEVs but are comparatively less eco-friendly.
Hatchback These are compact-sized cars with a hatch-type door provided at the rear end.
Sedan These are usually two- or four-door passenger cars, with a separate area provided at the rear end for luggage.
SUV Popularly known as SUVs, these cars come with four-wheel drive, and usually have high ground clearance. These cars can also be used as off-road vehicles.
MPV These are multi-purpose vehicles (also called minivans) designed to carry a larger number of passengers. They carry between five and seven people and have room for luggage too. They are usually taller than the average family saloon car, to provide greater headroom and ease of access, and they are usually front-wheel drive.
