Abstract
Report Overview
Powertrain - New Technologies & Strategies comprehensively explores the
emerging powertrain technology from the conventional, and changes in gasoline
and diesel engines, to the ' new' technologies of hybrids, EVs and fuel cells.
It also examines the range of strategic choices that OEMs are making as
deadlines for fuel efficiency improvement become closer.
As the automotive industry strives to reduce emissions and radically improve
fuel efficiency powertrain is the single most important component sector for
development. Today the choices for OEMs are bewildering in technology terms as
each underlying powertrain option continues development at a pace.
Furthermore, there is a new paradigm emerging where the customer options an
OEM must offer includes both gasoline and diesel, alternative fuels, hybrids,
and in the future electric vehicles and fuel cells. This added complexity
moves the global industry away from the long standing strategies governed by
the economics of existing installed capacity and forces a much move expansive
approach to powertrain technology.
