Global Automotive Hydro Mechanical Variable Transmission Systems Market 2016-2020

Overview of the global automotive hydro mechanical variable transmission systems market

Market research analysts at Technavio have predicted that in terms of units shipped, the global automotive hydro mechanical variable transmission systems market will grow impressively at a CAGR of almost 67% by 2020. HVT (Hydro-mechanical variable transmission) systems combine hydrostatic and mechanical transmission systems and are controlled by a single electronic control. HVT systems offer more fuel efficiency than the other transmission systems without compromising the efficiency of the vehicle and also offer sharp focus on energy efficiency and lower emissions. This system uses a pump motor instead of a variator, which makes it suitable for machines that work with high loads. Moreover, HVT produces equal speed in both forward and reverse gears, thereby maximizing transmission efficiency.

Advancements in technology have led to the replacement of mechanical components with electronic components and this electrification of vehicles has helped to reduce the weight of the vehicle and ensure higher accuracy in operations. Owing to this, there will be an increased adoption of electrification of the powertrain systems in the automotive industry. This advancement in powertrain technology will subsequently lead to lower CO₂ emissions and high fuel efficiency, which in turn will attract significant interest from consumers and original equipment manufacturers (OEMs).
