Global Automotive Torque Vectoring System Market 2017-2021

Overview of the global automotive torque vectoring system market

Technavio’s market research report predicts that the global automotive torque vectoring system market will grow at a CAGR of above 31% during the forecast period. The growing need for convenience and safety in multiple terrain systems is one of the primary drivers for market growth. A four-wheel drive (4WD) system provides extreme traction to all the four wheels of a vehicle which avoids losing control over slippery roads. Also, an all-wheel-drive (AWD) system engages all the wheels in a vehicle and does not require mode switching between 2WD and 4WD. The torque vectoring system improves the convenience for the driver during improper road conditions by gathering information using sensors that monitor the wheel steering angle, wheel speed, and yaw rate. This data, in turn, assists in identifying the road conditions for altering the torque figures to the wheel much before the vehicle loses traction. Furthermore, the system also enhances the off-road performance by automatically fluctuating the torque to the wheels to maintain traction and offers an on-demand torque vectoring system that provides more convenience and safety than a 4WD system. Additionally, a torque vectoring system divides torque uniformly among all the wheels, lessening the engine strain when the vehicle moves uphill on improper roads.

One of the latest trends that will gain traction in the global automotive torque vectoring system market is the emergence of lighter, compact, and highly-flexible torque vectoring systems. Focusing on improving the torque vectoring systems, manufacturers are concentrating on developing lightweight systems and are also looking for solutions to cut down on the weight and offer a compact system. The Compact Torque Vectoring (CTV) that weighs just 13 kilograms is the latest from BorgWarner and is considerably lighter in weight than others. This latest offering is also platform-agnostic in nature enabling its use in applications across various vehicle platforms and models.
