Automotive Drivetrain Market Dynamics:

Electric and hybrid vehicle sales are on the rise all around the world:

With rising worries about global emissions, the COP21 Paris agreement was drafted, with the goal of reducing the impact of emissions from various businesses. To capture unexplored regions, multiple major competitors are following the automotive drivetrain technology market trends. Furthermore, several countries that rely on automobile manufacture and sales have adopted or are on the cusp of implementing strict emission rules. For example, in India, the BS IV emission norms were implemented in 2017-2018, and the BS VI is expected to be implemented after 2020. Manufacturers in the Indian automotive drivetrain market have changed their focus to product development and sales of electric vehicles as a result of this.

 

Many governments and environmental agencies are establishing strict emission rules and laws in response to growing environmental concerns, which are projected to raise the production cost of fuel-efficient diesel engines in the future years. As a result, growth in the new commercial vehicle diesel engines category is projected to be slow in the near term. Furthermore, traditional fossil fuel-powered commercial vehicles, particularly trucks and buses, are contributing to rising transportation emissions. The introduction of fuel cell commercial vehicles, which are considered low- or zero-emission cars, is expected to cut heavy commercial vehicle emissions. E.g. Beiqi Foton Motor, a Chinese truck and bus manufacturer supported by the Chinese government, said in November 2019 that it would invest USD 2.6 billion in alternative energy vehicles, including fuel cell engines. By 2025, the business hopes to have deployed 200,000 new-energy commercial vehicles.

 

Globalization is causing fast changes in the automotive industry. The usage of electric vehicles has decreased pollutants to some extent, and this is projected to be a major contributor in the growth of the automotive drivetrain market. Furthermore, government incentives such as tax breaks, free parking, and other subsidies are driving up demand for electric vehicles. Furthermore, strong infrastructure development expenditure in most rising countries, such as China, India, and Brazil, enhances electric and hybrid car sales. According to the World Economic Forum, the UK government stated in July 2017 that it would stop producing new gasoline and diesel.

 

Increased technological progress:

Automobile manufacturers are concentrating their efforts on the development of superior electric vehicle systems with the maximum possible mileage and cheap costs. Companies have already begun creating reduced engines for use in vehicles, as smaller engines aid in meeting the forthcoming Bharat Stage VI emission standards. This is due to the fact that they emit fewer pollutants than heavier and larger engines. Furthermore, in comparison to electric vehicles, the drivetrain system in a fuel cell vehicle serves as the primary power source. Allison, for example, has produced a new AXE series e-axle for MD and HD trucks that is compatible with fuel cell range extenders (FCEV) or turbine generator range extenders (REV). Furthermore, a number of corporations are concentrating their R&D efforts on drivetrains. NSK Ltd., for example, has successfully demonstrated the world's first transmission-equipped wheel hub motor to increase vehicle environmental efficiency, safety, and comfort. Modern approaches for commercial vehicles, passenger vehicles, and three- and two-wheelers are available in the automotive drivetrain market.

 

Electric vehicles are expensive and have a small scale economy:

With growing worries about global emissions, governments and manufacturers have been working hard to cut emissions at the fleet level. This has had an impact on the uptake of electric automobiles. Although, due to a lack of EV charging infrastructure and a high vehicle price, sales volume is modest when compared to ICE automobiles. Furthermore, the high cost of electric vehicle components such as batteries and drivetrain, which account for over 60% of the market, is impeding the growth of the automotive drivetrain market. Different types of vehicles, such as passenger automobiles, light commercial vehicles, heavy commercial vehicles, fuel-cell vehicles, and electric vehicles, all employ the electric drivetrain system. Furthermore, the drivetrain's efficient operation is made up of a number of components, including electronic motors (synchronous and asynchronous), power electronic components, and various transmission units, depending on the vehicle's system. These elements are more expensive, which raises the total cost of the electric drive system. One of the reasons for the increase in car pricing is the high cost of the drivetrain system.

 

Automotive Drivetrain Market Segmentation:

The market is divided into three categories based on drive type: all-wheel drive, front-wheel drive, and rear-wheel drive. During the projected period, the All-Wheel-Drive sector is expected to grow at the fastest rate. AWD systems give superior traction and control, as well as high power; AWD is standard on most sports utility vehicles, contributing to the segment's rise (SUVs). In conjunction with AWD, it has counting stability control and anti-slip. Because of the reduced drag on the drivetrain, this type also helps to reduce fuel consumption. Currently, the AWD system is being used in small passenger cars and hybrid vehicles, which are leading the industry in terms of growth. This system was previously only available in high-end vehicles. Consumer purchasing power has increased in emerging markets like as China and Japan, resulting in increased demand for luxury and high-end automobiles in the Asia-Pacific region's automotive all-wheel-drive market.

 

 

The market is divided into Heavy Commercial Vehicles, Light Commercial Vehicles, Passenger Cars, and Electric Vehicles based on vehicle type. During the projection period, the Electric Vehicle segment is expected to develop significantly in terms of volume and has the highest CAGR. The issues can be ascribed to strict emission regulations, environmental concerns, and technological innovation.

 

Recent Developments by key players:

• CNH Industries stated in January 2020 that it would split in half and list its truck, bus, and engine divisions separately. It aims to merge agriculture and construction brands like Case and New Holland into one business, with a separate division to operate Iveco trucks, Iveco and Heuliez buses, and FPT powertrains. The separation is expected to be completed by early 2021.

 

• In February 2018, BMW unveiled its new i-lineup, which included a Roadster version of the i8, as well as i3s models with plug-in hybrid and electric powertrains.

 

• Tata Motors debuted the Tiago and Tigor with Electra EV powertrains in February 2018.
