Global Commercial Vehicle Differential Market to 2021 - Key Vendors include Eaton, GKN & Schaeffler - Research and Markets

The "Global Commercial Vehicle Differential Market 2017-2021" report has been added to Research and Markets' offering.

The analysts forecast the global commercial vehicle differential market to grow at a CAGR of 0.86% during the period 2017-2021.

Market trend

• Electronic limited-slip differential

Electronic differentials are used to ensure that every individual wheel receives sufficient torque as regulated by the electronic control unit (ECU).

An ECU comprises microcomputers that monitor inputs from wheel sensors to access situations involving wheel slippage and regulate the torque sent to the wheels to maintain adequate traction.

Market driver

• Increasing popularity of intelligent AWD systems for multi-terrain drivability

Commercial vehicles capable of navigating over varied terrains are preferred by freight operators, as this increases their utility. Hence, vehicle manufacturers are equipping their commercial vehicle models with intelligent AWD systems.

These systems automatically detect the terrain the vehicle is driving through and accordingly adjust the torque sent to the wheels. The increasing penetration of intelligent AWD systems will increase the value of differentials used in commercial vehicles.

Market challenge

• Rising popularity of EVs

Increasing awareness and concern regarding growing vehicular emissions and the shift of governments toward green mobility is driving the global EV market. OEMs too are focused on developing their EV product lines to tap into the growing sales of EVs.

Rapidly urbanizing cities of emerging economies are the ones most affected by vehicular emissions. In 2016, the world pollution level increased by 12%. 16 out of the world's 30 most polluted cities are in India, which had the highest level of ultra-fine particulate level.
