UL Solutions announced expanded battery-powered vehicle certification services to meet the evolving safety risks of roadworthy electric motorcycles and scooters, and industrial vehicles, reflecting UL Solutions’ commitment to enabling safer innovation while supporting public safety.

Battery-powered vehicles like these are proliferating around the world as part of the global energy transition megatrend. This includes the industrial electric vehicle market, which is valued at $3.4 billion in 2025 and is projected to reach $17.33 billion by 2033, according to a recent report.¹

These new services will test whether vehicle electrical systems meet the requirements of UL 2850, the Outline of Investigation for Vehicle Systems of Electric Scooters and Motorcycles, or UL 2701, the Outline of Investigation for Electrical Systems for Construction, Agriculture and Mining (CAM) Vehicles. A UL Outline of Investigation (OOI) is a preliminary set of certification requirements created by UL Solutions to evaluate new or emerging products for which a more formal UL Standard does not yet exist. Products that have been tested by UL Solutions and successfully demonstrated compliance with an OOI can receive a UL Mark, signifying that they meet safety requirements.

“The launch of certification services for UL 2850 and UL 2701 marks a pivotal step in advancing vehicle safety across both urban mobility and industrial operations,” said Wesley Kwok, vice president and general manager of the Energy and Industrial Automation group at UL Solutions. “By addressing the unique safety challenges of battery-powered scooters, motorcycles, and heavy-duty construction, agriculture and mining vehicles, we’re helping manufacturers meet evolving regulatory requirements and accelerate the transition to safer, cleaner transportation — on the road and on the job site.”
