Strategic Analysis of Powertrain Light-weighting Measures 2015-2022
M2 - Fri Oct 09, 3:48AM CDT
Research and Markets (http://www.researchandmarkets.com/research/pnvgf5/strategic) has announced the addition of the "Strategic Analysis of Powertrain Light-weighting Measures" report to their offering. The study throws light on various light-weighting measures on powertrains and their importance and level of maturity in taking original equipment manufacturers (OEMs) closer to CO2 targets. The study has been broken down into 3 clustersengine, transmissions, and exhaust after-treatment. Newer materials and the pace of substitution of conventional materials have been discussed. Supplementary technological advances required in manufacturing and joining process and economies of scales to be achieved are also detailed. The study delves into key participants, such as BMW and VW, for a deeper insight into their light-weighting strategies through 2 case studies. The base year is 2015 and forecasts have been provided till 2022. Key Findings: - Material of the future is highly subjective to application. However, significant levels of material substitution will occur only if new materials score well in terms of their availability, economics, and sustainability. Plastics and reinforced polymers have large potential for light weighting, but their increased application is dependent on research advancement in their thermal properties and joining methods - Light weighting of exhaust systems will be centered around integration of exhaust manifold in the cylinder head, reduction of exhaust component wall thickness, and reduction of volumes handled by exhaust components. Opportunities for these concepts are with respect to the noise, vibration, and harshness (NVH), back pressure optimization, and achieving desired levels of conversion efficiency with newer materials and exhaust designs Key Topics Covered: 1. Executive Summary 2. Research Scope, Objectives, Background, and Methodology 3. Definitions and Segmentation 4. Light Weighting-Engine Cluster 5. Light Weighting-Transmission Cluster 6.
