New Market Report: Global Market Review Of Oe Gearbox Clutches - Forecasts to 2017

May 29, 2010 - PRLog -- Europe may have long resisted the automatic gearbox, but new environmental and fuel efficiency legislation combined with major advances in electronics and manufacturing techniques are paving the way for a flood of new automated transmission technologies.

These include high-performance automated manual transmissions (AMTs), dual-clutch transmissions (DCTs), continuously variable transmissions (CVTs) for smaller vehicles and highly innovative new technologies such as Torotrak's infinitely variable transmission (IVT) and Antonov's automatic drive.

The most likely 'winner' (that will replace traditional automatics and boost market penetration of automated transmissions generally) will be the dual-clutch, pre-select DCT concept.

LuK: "Automatic transmissions are already a standard in premium vehicles in Europe. The market share in other segments is increasing especially when economy is equal or superior to manual transmissions."

This edition of just-auto's Global market review of OE gearbox clutches is completely rewritten and updated, providing analysis of the key market drivers for vehicle clutches. All historic and forecast data has been revised, together with the addition of scenario forecast numbers.
Use this report to understand the market position and likely take-up of the various clutch technologies - both now, and over the report's forecast period.

Following our market overview in Chapter 1 Introduction, just-auto's product fitment forecasts in Chapter 2 predict the market (by volume and value) worldwide (and by major car-producing region) for manual gearbox clutches, automated manual transmissions and dual clutch (DCTs) transmissions. This chapter includes exclusive interviews with senior executives of Getrag, LuK, and ZF.

Also provided is just-auto's 2009 market share estimates for OE clutch manufacturing by major region.
