Market Overview
Prominent automotive OEMs preferring engine downsizing
The growing demand to make automotive engines more efficient and powerful is leading automotive OEMs to adopt engine downsizing technique. The downsized turbocharged engines increase torque and reduce fuel consumption. The trend of engine downsizing became prominent due to stringent regulations incorporated to curb emissions. A growing emphasis to curb carbon dioxide emissions and boost fuel efficiency has encouraged the OEMs to downsize the internal combustion engine.
Availability of public transportation
The increasing concerns about emissions have led various regulatory bodies, government organizations to focus on the shift toward enhancing the public transportation network of the region. The public vehicles are also using alternative sources of fuel from the use of conventional diesel or gasoline. As the transportation sector is one of the crucial contributors to the emissions, aggressive steps are called for to curb the same. The concerns mentioned above directed the focus on increasing the buses and coaches that operate on alternative fuels.
