DUBLIN October 29, 2009; Research and Markets has announced the addition of the "Powertrain - New Technologies & Strategies" report to their offering.

Powertrain - New Technologies & Strategies comprehensively explores the emerging powertrain technology from the conventional, and changes in gasoline and diesel engines, to the 'new' technologies of hybrids, EVs and fuel cells. It also examines the range of strategic choices that OEMs are making as deadlines for fuel efficiency improvement become closer.

As the automotive industry strives to reduce emissions and radically improve fuel efficiency powertrain is the single most important component sector for development. Today the choices for OEMs are bewildering in technology terms as each underlying powertrain option continues development at a pace. Furthermore, there is a new paradigm emerging where the customer options an OEM must offer includes both gasoline and diesel, alternative fuels, hybrids, and in the future electric vehicles and fuel cells. This added complexity moves the global industry away from the long standing strategies governed by the economics of existing installed capacity and forces a much move expansive approach to powertrain technology.
