Rising Automotive Production Continues to Support Sales of Powertrain

The global sales of automotive have remained favorable for the industry in recent years, with China and the United States topping the list both in terms of production and sales. As the U.S. economy steadily recovers, automotive industry in the country embraces an acceleration, particularly in the auto components vertical. Meanwhile, China prepares to enter a maturity phase with a higher sensitivity towards macroeconomic implications.

The emerging markets, including Brazil, India and Mexico are also coming under the spot light. Demand for commercial vehicles and passenger vehicles has grown significantly in these countries. In 2016, Toyota, Volkswagen, HYUNDAI, G.M., and Ford ranked among the top five manufacturers. Rising automotive production remains a major driver for the global automotive powertrain market.

Greater Efforts to Develop Clean Technology Remains a Major Industry Trend

The automotive industry has increased its efforts to adhere to an integrated approach that advocates the use of clean technology to reduce carbon emission. OEMs are actively focusing on development of more efficient engines, drive-trains, transmission and drive-shafts to reduce fuel consumption.

In fact, some manufacturers have already introduced sophisticated emissions-control technologies that are being used in next-gent automobiles. Moreover, global initiatives, such as the Paris climate accord have prompted various countries across the globe to enact stricter emission laws on new vehicles.

Therefore, the auto industry is beginning to show a greater interest in electric mobility space. Over the next decade, more number of people are likely to opt for vehicle models that have minimum or zero emission burdens.

New Automotive Regulations Driving New Technology & Innovation

Aggressive emissions and fuel economy standards are forcing manufacturers to redesign automotive powertrains with a more flexible and agile style. However, the task is not simple and requires a combination of technologies to meet targets. Some of the best automotive ingenuity goes into powertrain manufacturing.

Regional and (supra) national regulatory bodies are introducing guidelines that are intended to drive manufacturers towards adopting innovative manufacturing methods. These new manufacturing methods not only streamline powertrain assembly but provide intelligence that allow manufacturers to comply with the regulatory norms. In the near future, manufactures will need to improve powertrain systems in order to make them compatible with autonomous vehicle technologies.

The Need for More Fuel Efficient Cars Influencing Manufacturing Technique

Automotive powertrain manufacturing is undergoing massive changes. The need for more fuel-efficient vehicles is leading to rapid adoption of lightweight materials and downsizing of components wherever possible. Farsightedness will be important for manufacturers to understand the changing industrial landscape, highlighting the growing regulatory pressure and demand for fuel economy.

This also means that, a more complex machining and assembly process is likely to be used in order to stay at per with next-gen vehicle standard. Utilization of digital manufacturing solutions for powertrain manufacturing has been major trend, with automating taking the central stage. Both disruptive and evolutionary technologies are likely to be successful- manufacturing intelligence is crucial to achieve sustainability and viability.

Competitive Landscape: Top Companies in Automotive Powertrain Market

Despite the growing popularity of contemporary powertrain concepts, a majority of manufacturers are still focused on use of traditional technology. In addition, the existing manufacturing infrastructure acts as a serious drawback when it comes to integrating new concepts.

Further, they usually do not offer any cost benefits for new powertrain configurations. Because the conventional facilities leave very little room for new concepts to expedite, manufacturers are bound to invest on constructing new facilities, which may not be a feasible option for many. Technological diversification and ostensibly endless combinations of technical solutions with specific requirements continue to increase the level of complexity for market players.

Fact.MR has provided detailed information about price points of top manufacturers of automotive powertrain positioned across regions, sales growth, production capacity, and speculative technological expansion in the recently published report.

For instance:

  1. In 2021, Ford Motors have launched All-electric Ford F-100 truck with eliminator concept and showed numerous benefits of electric propulsion by bringing Mustang Mach-E GT Performance Edition twin rear and front electric traction motors and battery electric powertrain that produce a combined 480 horsepower and 634 lb.-ft. of torque
