Abstract
just-auto believes demand for manual transmissions is likely to have peaked at a total of just under 36m units in 2006. This updated, fourth edition of just-auto' s hugely popular global transmissions report reviews the key market drivers for automotive transmissions and represents the latest reporting and analysis of transmissions technology.
This report will give you an insight into the trends for manual and conventional automatic transmissions and innovative transmissions. We also take a look at the long term prospects of hybrid vehicles, electric vehicles and the electric traction effect on the transmission market.
Whilst the report follows the same format as the third edition, all forecasts and manufacturer profiles have been overhauled and any major changes in the transmissions sector have been included.
You can expect the same detail and depth of analysis in this report as in our best selling third edition.
The author of both reports, multiple award-winner Jeff Daniels, has been highly praised by his peers and readers on countless occasions. Amongst his accolades is the Pierre Dreyfus Award as UK Motoring Journalist of the Year in 2002. Despite numerous demanding clients, including The Economist Intelligence Unit, the Financial Times, Automotive Engineer, just-auto.com, European Automotive Design, Motor Industry Management, he continues to work as a journalist, translator and TV broadcaster.
