Automotive Worldwide Market Will Begin To Require More Automatic Than Manual Transmissions, The Crossover Being Likely To Occur In 2007-2008 Says New Report.


DUBLIN, Ireland -- Research and Markets (http://www.researchandmarkets.com/reports/c51584) has announced the addition of Global Market Review of Automotive Transmissions - Forecasts to 2014 to their offering.

just-auto believes demand for manual transmissions is likely to have peaked at a total of just under 36m units in 2006.

This updated, fourth edition of just-autos hugely popular global transmissions report reviews the key market drivers for automotive transmissions and represents the latest reporting and analysis of transmissions technology.

This report will give you an insight into the trends for manual and conventional automatic transmissions and innovative transmissions. We also take a look at the long term prospects of hybrid vehicles This is a list of hybrid vehicles in chronological order of production: Early designs

, electric vehicles and the electric traction effect on the transmission market.

Whilst the report follows the same format as the third edition, all forecasts and manufacturer profiles have been overhauled and any major changes in the transmissions sector have been included.

You can expect the same detail and depth of analysis in this report as in our best selling third edition.

Chapter 1: Background. The function of transmissions and the overall market is covered in this chapter. We look at the fast growing automatic share and the continuing popularity for manual transmissions. The evolution of the conventional automatic and the technical alternatives are also explored.

Chapter 2: Manual transmissions. Western Europe Western Europe

Chapter 3: Conventional automatic transmissions. This chapter looks at automatic transmission manufacture and supply. just-auto believes we are reaching the stage at which the worldwide market will begin to require more automatic than manual transmissions, the crossover being likely to occur in 2007-2008. We take each of the major or potentially significant players - the transmission development specialists and the worlds surviving major VMs - in turn, and examine their chosen solutions. Manufacturers include Autonov, Audi, BMW BMW

, DaimlerChrysler, Fiat Auto, Ford, General Motors, Honda, Mitsubishi and Nissan-JATCO.

Chapter 4: New types of automatic transmission. Because this group of innovative automatic transmissions includes markedly different concepts, the overall picture of their production and use worldwide is complex.

This chapter analyses each of the worlds surviving major VMs in turn, from Audi to ZF, and examine their chosen solutions, along with main trends in Continuously-variable transmissions (CVTs), Infinitely variable transmissions (IVTs) and Automated manual transmissions (AMTs).

Chapter 5: The long-term prospect. Multi-speed transmissions - manual or automatic, are only needed because of the inherent drawbacks of the internal combustion engine Internal combustion engine

 as a vehicle propulsion Vehicle propulsion refers to the act of moving an artificial carrier of people or goods over a distance. The power plant used to drive the vehicles can vary widely. Originally, humans or animals would have provided the means of propulsion, later being supplemented by wind power (eg  power source.

There are other power sources which reduce or eliminate the needs for such transmissions, and these are likely to come into increasing prominence as the 21st century progresses.

The most obvious alternative, and the one likely to have an overwhelming impact in the long run, is electric traction.

We look at the reducing needs for manual or automatic transmissions, hybrid vehicles, electric vehicles and the electric traction effect on the transmission market.

Chapter 6: Downstream of the gearbox. Transmission design does not end at the gearbox output. Cars require final drive units, and propeller propeller, device consisting of a hub with one or more blades that propels a craft to which it is attached by rotating its blades in a fluid such as air or water.  and/or drive shafts drive shaft also drive·shaft

 units, the size of the new vehicle market determines the size of the transmissions market. Worldwide sales of light-duty vehicles - passenger cars, SUVs, MPVs, light trucks and commercial vehicles up to 3.5 tonnes maximum gross vehicle weight (MGVW) - amounted to over 64.492m in 2005. The vast majority of these vehicles (the exceptions being hybrids and battery-electric vehicles with partial or totally electric traction) had basically similar transmission requirements, markedly different from those for the heavy commercial vehicles mainly used for freight haulage.

It is accepted that vehicle production worldwide will continue to grow, although in present circumstances (as at January 2007) forecasts of growth in the fully developed markets are understandably being revised down to the point where growth out to 2014 is likely to be moderate at best. Between 2005 and 2014, light duty vehicle manufacturing growth (in units) is forecast as 11.9% in Japan, 5.6% in the North American North American

) and 7% in the pre-expansion EU15. In the rapidly developing markets of Asia, and above all in China, the picture is conversely one of extremely rapid growth. Here, our forecast is for no less than 172% growth in China - from an already considerable base - and 50.5% in India, with 39.2% growth foreseen also for South Korea, over the same period. Forecasts prepared for this report, and shown in Table 1, taking existing political and economic uncertainties into account, suggest a world market for private passenger and light commercial vehicles of 85.1m by 2014, compared with 57.8m in 2002.
