Electric Traction Motor Market, By Type (AC and DC), By Power Rating (<200 kW, 200 kW to 400 kW, and >400 kW), By Application (Railway, Electric Vehicles, Elevators, Conveyors, and Industrial Machinery), By Region (North America, Europe, Asia Pacific, Middle East & Africa, and South America) – Market Size & Forecasting To 2028

Traction means producing frictional force between two surfaces without slipping and this can be produced electrically or non-electrically. Electrical traction is defined as the system that uses electrical power for traction system such as railway, trams, and trolleys. Furthermore, electric traction means locomotion in which the driving force is obtained from electrical motors. An electric traction motor is utilized to make rotation torque on a machine. It is used in electrically powered rail vehicles such as electric multiple units and electric locomotives.
