Global Automotive Powertrain Market Industry Trends & Forecast to 2019: Key Vendors are Aisin Seiki, ZF Friedrichshafen, GKN, BorgWarner, American Axle and Manufacturing and JTEKT
M2 - Tue Jan 06, 3:50AM CST
Research and Markets (http://www.researchandmarkets.com/research/fzl5dk/automotive) has announced the addition of the "Automotive Powertrain Market by Position, Vehicle Type, Engine Type & Geography - Industry Trends & Forecast to 2019" report to their offering. The powertrain is a system of motorized parts of a vehicle that produces energy, which is further transformed so as to drive the vehicle. It generally consists of engine, transmission, driveshaft, axles, differential, and clutch/torque converter. The powertrain of any vehicle creates energy initially in the engine, and this energy is transferred to the transmission. The transmission takes the power from the engine and with certain gear ratios, reduces it and the engine's torque is transmitted through the driveshaft to the wheels of the vehicle, which, when applied to road, moves the vehicle. This report covers the global automotive powertrain market. The global automotive powertrain market report is broadly segmented by geography (Asia-Oceania, Europe, North America & RoW) focusing on key countries in each region. The market is further segmented by position [Front-wheel drive (FWD), rear-wheel drive (RWD), and all-wheel drive (AWD)], by vehicle type (Passenger car, light commercial vehicle, and heavy commercial vehicle), and by engine type (Gasoline and Diesel). This report classifies and defines the global automotive powertrain market. It also provides qualitative insights about the types and components of powertrain. The report also gives a wide-ranging review of the market drivers, restraints, opportunities, challenges, and key issues in the global automotive powertrain market and describes the estimated changes that will be brought about in the market in the near future.

M2 - Fri Nov 07, 4:25AM CST
Research and Markets (http://www.researchandmarkets.com/research/rvhzsx/automotive) has announced the addition of the "Automotive Powertrain Market by Position, Vehicle Type, Engine Type & Geography - Industry Trends & Forecast to 2019" report to their offering. The global automotive powertrain market is estimated to grow at a significant rate as the need for fuel-efficient and high performance automobiles is increasing. The need for high-tech powertrains has greatly increased in order to meet the stringent emission norms. The growing trend of downsizing engines and the rising demand for automated transmission are some of the key factors driving the automotive powertrain market globally. The Asia-Oceania region is estimated to be the largest powertrain market in terms of value by 2019. The vital aspect contributing to the growth of the powertrain market in this region is the increasing number of vehicles being produced as well as the increasing penetration of passenger cars in the developing countries. The markets in North America and Europe are estimated to hold the second and third position, respectively. The introduction of stringent emission norms in European and North American countries have given rise to the increased demand for advanced powertrains which are lighter in weight and help in increasing fuel efficiency, reducing emissions, and improving the performance of vehicles. With respect to vehicle type, the passenger cars segment is expected to hold the maximum share, followed by light commercial vehicles and heavy commercial vehicles. Currently, in the passenger cars segment, the front-wheel drive (FWD) type is estimated to dominate the market; whereas rear-wheel drive (RWD) is widely being adopted in light commercial vehicles and heavy commercial vehicles. In the coming years, the all-wheel drive (AWD) system is anticipated to replace the FWD and RWD systems owing to the growing demand for comfort and safety; and the increasing need for better acceleration, traction, and towing capacity in vehicles.
