The latest edition of this report examines the key development drivers and challenges in the transmissions sector. The report focuses on key technologies and looks in particular at the following transmission types; Manual (MTs), Dual Clutch Automated Manual (DCT), Automatic (AT), Continuously Variable (CVT), Hybrid and Electric Vehicle.
Furthermore the report includes a section on clutch development and looks at the market development in key global regions. The report also includes 12 detailed profiles of the major suppliers active in this sector.
Background to this research
The transmissions sector has undergone a number of important changes during the past few years, a trend that is likely to continue for the foreseeable future as OEMs strive to meet their regulatory obligations and reduce carbon dioxide (CO2) output by improving fuel economy.
For some decades the transmissions sector was dominated by in-house manufactured manual (MT) and planetary automatic transmissions (AT) in a competitive environment, where the business imperative was driven by cost control and the utilisation of existing installed capacity. Although some technology innovation inevitably moved the transmission forward, the pace of development was relatively slow.
Regulations to reduce both noxious gas emissions and greenhouse gas emissions have served to change the focus of transmissions development over recent years such that the sector can be seen to be at the frontline in reducing fuel consumption. This has led to a significant change.
