The group expects the addressable market for electric buses and light trucks globally to be at $70 billion by 2030 from $5 billion now.

It is also looking at pay-per-mile and subscription-based ownership models becoming the new trend to cover passenger and cargo mobility sectors. To address this, it will follow the 'Mobility as a Service' model also, which will be under a new entity and branded as OHM.
