Growing demand for on-demand mobility services such as ride hailing, taxis and car sharing is giving rise to a new category of vehicles: cars focused on the passengers rather than the driver and whose flexible interiors can be individually tailored to the needs of users. The addressable market for these purposebuilt mobility vehicles will reach almost 1.3 million vehicles by 2020, with demand already expected to double to about 2.6 million by 2025. By then, all these vehicles will also be electric. Established carmakers and new players alike have announced plans to introduce these vehicles in the years ahead. This article outlines how the market is developing and examines the issues device manufacturers must tackle to end up on the winning side. This paper is an update of Roland Berger's 2018 publication "A new breed of cars – Purpose-built electric vehicles for mobility on demand".
