Overview of the global turbocharger market for commercial vehicles
The global turbocharger market for commercial vehicles is anticipated to grow at a steady rate and will post a CAGR of more than 8% during the forecast period. According to the industry research report, the growing demand for low emission vehicles will drive the growth prospects for the global turbocharger market until the end of 2020. Many countries across the globe are taking initiatives to reduce carbon emissions. For instance, European Union (EU) is implementing stringent rules across all sectors of the economy to control greenhouse gas (GHG) emissions and is taking Historic Commercial Vehicle (HCVs) and the road freight sector into consideration to achieve this goal. It has been observed that the HCV segment is the second largest segment in the US and collectively contributes the highest emissions and energy use in the US transportation sector. To improve fuel efficiency and cut down on carbon emissions, the US Environmental Protection Agency (EPA) and the US Department of Transportation's National Highway Traffic Safety Administration (NHTSA) have endeavored jointly to fix the standards for MCVs and HCVs.
The growing use of titanium compressor wheels will drive the growth prospects for the global turbocharger market for commercial vehicles in the forthcoming years. Compressor wheels are usually made from aluminum alloys because these alloys exhibit an excellent ratio between strength, density, and casting ability. However, at present almost all the major tier-1 suppliers are using titanium aluminide compressor wheels in their turbochargers. Some of the major factors responsible for the growing preference of titanium compressor wheels include the endurance to high temperature, low weight, low inertial drag, high responsiveness, and ability to function under high pressure.
