Research and Markets: The Automotive Transmissions Report 2014

Research and Markets (http://www.researchandmarkets.com/research/rkxx2v/the_automotive) has announced the addition of the "The Automotive Transmissions Report 2014" report to their offering.

The transmissions sector is no longer primarily driven by cost control and installed capacity, but is emerging as a critical technology that can deliver much needed benefits in a cost-effective fashion compared to other areas of technology. Furthermore, transmission technology is also critical to future powertrain development in terms of its ability to deliver both drivability and emissions-reducing performance.

The transmission essentially controls the driving experience that the customer enjoys and makes a significant contribution to the fuel consumption performance of the vehicle. Therefore, as OEMs strive to differentiate their product offering transmission choice and performance have become an essential element of the DNA' of the vehicle.

This popular report begins by examining transmission development drivers along with transmission development changes. The report goes on to examine transmissions technology, with particular attention to Manual Transmissions (MT), Dual Clutch Automated Manual Transmissions (DCT), Automatic Transmissions, Continuously Variable Transmissions (CVT), Hybrid Transmissions and Electric Vehicle Transmissions.

The Automotive Transmissions sector is now a critical technology that can deliver much needed benefits to a vehicle in a relatively cost-effective fashion.

Transmission technology is critical to future powertrain development in terms of its ability to deliver both drivability and the emissions-reducing performance being demanded. As OEMs strive to differentiate their product offerings transmission choice and performance have become an essential element of the DNA' of the vehicle.
