M2 - Tue Feb 25, 5:31AM CST
Research and Markets (http://www.researchandmarkets.com/research/x7s8px/intelligent) has announced the addition of the "Concise Analysis of the International Intelligent Transportation System (ITS) Market - Forecasts to 2019" report to their offering. Intelligent transportation systems integrate information and communication technologies with existing transportation networks to improve its operating efficiency and improve individuals travel experience. Dwindling transportation network expansion space and a growing number of vehicle owners in metropolitan areas increases pressure on transportation authorities to improve the performance of existing transportation networks. Effective use of wireless communication devices, computers, sensors, telematics and data analysis applications in existing transportation networks reduces congestion, traveling delays and improves road user safety. In addition, ITS provides higher economic benefits in terms of reduced fuel consumptions, traveling delays and road accidents over its deployment and maintenance cost through its life. Increasing awareness about these benefits in both developed as well as developing economies is expected to spur the demand for ITS through the estimated period. Several types of intelligent transportation systems have been introduced from its inception which include advanced traveler information system (ATIS), advanced transportation management systems (ATMS), advanced transportation pricing systems (ATPS), advanced public transportation systems (APTS) and cooperative vehicle systems. Transportation management systems accounted for the largest market share in the global ITS market in 2012. This segment is expected to maintain its dominance due to increasing demand for traffic control solutions particularly for adaptive signaling systems across the world. Highway operates across the world are installing electronic toll charging systems to reduce traffic at toll centers.

2013 Report on the International Automotive Transmission Market - Global Forecasts to 2018
M2 - Wed Jan 08, 6:04AM CST
Research and Markets (http://www.researchandmarkets.com/research/4q52b8/automotive) has announced the addition of the "2013 Report on the International Automotive Transmission Market - Global Forecasts to 2018" report to their offering. A transmission system helps power to propagate from power source (engine) to drive mechanism. These systems utilize clutch and gears to provide speed and torque conversions from crank shaft to wheels. Transmission systems have been constantly evolving from manual to automatic or from 5 speed gears to even 8 speed gears. Varying needs of the users such as improved fuel economy, increasing vehicle performance requirements, greater power requirements, and enhanced driving experience have led to tremendous changes and developments in automotive transmission systems. Amid certain technical limitations of CVT and high cost constraints of DCT, these transmission systems find very less installation rate in commercial vehicles all over the globe. The developing markets such as India and Brazil, automobile manufacturers are yet to explore use of these technologies at greater levels. Major automakers such as Volkswagen (Germany) and Honda (Japan) manufacture these transmission systems in-house or with collaboration/partnership with Tier-I technology or component providers, thereby leaving low market space for independent transmission system manufacturers.

Global Automotive Transmission Market to 2018: Continuously Variable (CVT) & Dual Clutch (DCT)
M2 - Tue Nov 12, 10:07AM CST
Research and Markets (http://www.researchandmarkets.com/research/45tbzl/automotive) has announced the addition of the "Automotive Transmission Market, By Transmission Types [Continuously Variable (CVT), Dual Clutch (DCT)], Vehicle Types (Passenger, Commercial) & Geography: Global Trends and Forecast to 2018" report to their offering. The global dual clutch transmission (DCT) and continuously variable transmission (CVT) market are expected to reach 7.15 million and 11.5 million units respectively by 2018. Despite the tough competition from other transmission systems such as automatic and manual, DCT and CVT represent promising growth opportunities in the near future. The automotive industry is the most dynamic in terms of technological advancements, new product launches, and fluctuating regional demands for various types of vehicles across the globe. Dual clutch transmission system market has been on high growth trajectory for the past few years and is expected to continue with the same trend for the coming years. On the other hand, continuously variable transmission system is relatively high volume market experiencing relatively slow growth than the DCT market. DCTs are highly popular in the European market followed by Asia-Pacific and Europe; whereas CVTs are extremely popular in the Asia-Pacific region followed by North America and Europe. The stringent environmental regulations, need for improved fuel economy, and enhanced driving experience calls for strong research and development efforts from auto makers which indeed has led to enormous changes and developments in the automotive transmission system industry. DCT is relatively new technology as compared to CVT. The automobile companies such as Volkswagen, Honda, Daimler, Hyundai, and others manufacture transmission systems in-house for their vehicles while independent suppliers such as Getrag, Jatco, and ZF supply their systems to OEMs as well. This makes supply chain somewhat complex to some extent as the transmission system component manufacturers, design companies, and auto manufacturers are all involved in co-development of transmission systems through joint ventures, collaborations, and partnerships to suit particular requirements. Investments by major automakers in China and collaboration of independent transmission system suppliers with the Asian automakers point towards healthy growth in the Asia-Pacific region.

The Global Continuously Variable Transmission (CVT) Market to Grow at a CAGR of 7.92 Percent over the Period 2012-2016
M2 - Wed Aug 07, 6:02AM CDT
Research and Markets (http://www.researchandmarkets.com/research/7mhmwl/global) has announced the addition of the "Global Continuously Variable Transmission Market 2012-2016" report to their offering. One of the key factors contributing to this market growth is the presence of stringent fuel efficiency standards. The Global Continuously Variable Transmission market has also been witnessing the emergence of next-generation CVT. However, the adoption of the ultra-quick shift concept could pose a challenge to the growth of this market. The key vendors dominating this space include BorgWarner Inc., Fuji Heavy Industries Ltd., JATCO Ltd., and ZF Friedrichshafen AG. The other vendors mentioned in this report are IAV Automotive Engineering Inc., LuK GmbH & Co. KG, and Ricardo plc. Commenting on the report, an analyst from the team said: One of the main trends witnessed in the Global Continuously Variable Transmission market is the increasing demand for electric vehicles. The Continuously Variable Transmission for electric vehicles is used for extending the lives of the cars' expensive and heavy batteries. According to the report, one of the main factors driving the market is the development of lightweight automotive materials. Automobile and auto component manufacturers continually work on reducing the total weight of vehicles. To this end, they continually experiment with various lightweight automotive materials that can be used to manufacture vehicles or vehicle components. Further, the report states that one of the main challenges is the high cost of alternative fuel vehicles. Hybrid vehicles, electric vehicles, and fuel cell vehicles cost more than oil-driven vehicles, which makes them unaffordable for a majority of consumers. The high cost of these vehicles curtails the adoption of alternative fuel powertrains, which in turn has a negative effect on the Global CVT market.
