The Future of Powertrain Technologies

The future of powertrain technologies is electrified. All OEMs worldwide are working intensively on the development of battery electric vehicles (BEVs). However, the speed at which BEVs are conquering the market varies greatly from region to region. Global manufacturers must closely monitor and respond to these differences.

Different Market Developments Worldwide

The markets in the USA, Europe, China, ASEAN, Africa, and South America are developing differently. Therefore, it is necessary to develop various types of powertrains to meet the specific requirements and conditions of each region. Even in regions with ambitious goals for BEV market shares, such as Europe or the USA, there is currently a saturation of demand for BEVs.

Despite these challenges, OEMs in many markets must comply with CO2 fleet consumption limits. This requires the continuous development of traditional internal combustion engines, which offer significant potential for CO2 reduction, especially in hybrid powertrains.

New Competitors from China

Another important aspect is the entry of new competitors from China into the global market. These new players offer cost-effective vehicles and increase the pressure on established manufacturers. The challenge is to develop cost-efficient and fuel-saving powertrains that can be used worldwide. This requires both technical innovations and an efficient and fast development process.

Tokyo Powertrain Conference

These and other exciting topics will be discussed at the Tokyo Powertrain Conference. The conference offers a unique platform to learn about the latest developments and trends in powertrain technology and to exchange ideas with experts and industry colleagues.
