Market for automotive transmission systems is driven by growth in auto industry. Transmission growth is aided by advent of advanced automatic transmission systems such as CVT, IVT, AMT, IHAT and DCT, and stringent emission norms to reduce pollution, among others. While many OEMs took to transmission design and manufacturing as core competencies, smaller OEMs, with limited resources, determined that inbuilt economies of scale in transmission systems allow alternative sourcing arrangements.
