Abstract
The automotive transmissions market is underpinned by a number of fundamental forces which can at one point be acting in unison or, conversely, acting to pull the industry in disparate directions. In simple terms, these ' forces' are; industry regulation, currently installed manufacturing capacity and consumer preferences. However, the sector is now entering a period of sustained technological development and change which is likely to see the economic imperative of existing installed capacity being overshadowed by market development and legislative actions, even to the extent of the manual transmission being legislated against in favour of electronic controls in order to minimise fuel consumption.
A Who Supplies Whom Transmissions Database, that identifies the suppliers of key transmission components to the major volume models and platforms in Europe and North America, is also available.
