Latest Dana Incorporated News
Feb 2, 2023
Recent Developments: In February 2021, ZF announced a $200 million investment to manufacture transmissions for commercial vehicles in North America. From 2023, ZF will produce the ZF Powerline 8-speed automatic transmission at the company's state-of-the-art manufacturing facility in Greycourt, SC. In February 2022, Cummins Inc. announced the acquisition of Meritor Inc., a global brake mobility, drivetrain, aftermarket and electric powertrain solution for the commercial automotive and industrial markets. Cummins acquired Meritor for approximately $3.7 billion. The deal is expected to close by the end of 2022. The addition of Meritor's complementary strengths will help Cummins address critical technology challenges, such as developing economically viable carbon-free solutions for commercial and industrial applications. In July 2020, Dana Limited introduced the new Spicer® Trac-Lok® Limited Slip Differential (LSD) for heavy duty truck applications. The new model autonomously delivers improved vehicle handling within a compact and lightweight design for improved traction, durability and performance. Segment Analysis: Vehicle Type Insights In 2021, passenger cars made up the biggest part of the market, and this is likely to stay true for the rest of the forecast period. Passenger cars are being made in strong numbers again in 2021, with a 28% rise in China and a 61% rise in India. Electric cars will have parts that are much easier to design because simple shapes can be used to make big changes. Forged aluminium parts work better than machined or cast aluminium parts, which makes them more reliable. So these things can help the market grow in a good way. Material Insights The most common materials on the market are aluminium and steel. In 2021, most of the market for car forging was made of steel. Carbon steel, in particular, is in high demand in the auto industry because it can be easily forged, has a high impact strength, is easy to work with, and doesn't cost much to use. This might help the market grow over the next few years. Fuel economy and performance depend on a lot of things, and reducing a vehicle's weight is one of them. Technology Insights The segment is divided into open die, closed die, and other types of forging based on the technology used. In 2021, the closed die technique had the most market share and ruled the market. Closed dies allow parts with complicated shapes to be made. A closed die has a better surface finish and better mechanical properties. This makes it even less important to machine. Because of closed die forged parts, many designs can now handle more stress and load. Application Insights An axle is a shaft that connects two wheels on a car so they can move and stay in the same place. The axle segment was thought to have the highest CAGR in 2021 and the largest market share from 2022 to 2030. In this segment, you can also find input/output shafts, chassis, high-pressure valves, and other forged auto parts. Supplier Type Insights There are two types of suppliers on the market: local and international (import). From 2022 to 2030, the most market share and the leader was in the local segment. Europe and North America buy parts and accessories for cars and electric cars from China and other Asian countries. This is the main reason for its growth. Regional Outlook: Asia-Pacific (APAC) is expected to be the largest and fastest-growing segment compared to other regions. A lot of the world's forged parts come from China and India. Major players in the area are putting their new money into automation and high-tech machines that use less energy and work better. Europe is expected to have a high growth rate because there are new ways to make things in this industry. The European market grows because government rules help products made in Europe. North America is likely to keep moving up in the world market as the need for forged auto parts grows. Buy this Premium Research Report@ Market Trends: More and more people are using automation and smart manufacturing technologies in the market. Almost all of the top players are trying to automate their forging lines to make them safer, more productive, and more efficient. For example, in September 2021, ThyssenKrupp AG started up one of the world's most advanced forging lines. The company set up its advanced forging line in the city of Homburg/Saarland. About USD 85 million were put into the company's new facility for making parts for truck chassis. Market Driving Factors: People are more likely to buy cars because of the pandemic, which is making more people worry about their health and making cities more crowded. So, more people are likely to choose private transportation to avoid talking to people they don't need to. This is expected to boost auto sales and increase the need for forged parts and components. Over the past 10 years, urbanisation has been most noticeable in places like Asia and Oceania that are still developing. Also, the UN Department of Economics and Social Affairs says that by 2050, cities will be home to almost 68% of the world's population. Key Segments Covered: Top Market Players: ThyssenKrupp AG (Germany), CIE Automotive (Spain), NTN Corporation (Japan), American Axle and Manufacturing Inc. (U.S.), Bharat Forge Limited (India), Ramkrishna Forgings (India), Dana Limited (U.S.), Meritor Inc. (U.S.), ZF Friedrichshafen AG (Germany), and others.
