DUBLIN—Research and Markets has announced the addition of the "Powertrain and Electric Vehicle Market: Future Implications" report to their offering.

This study highlights passenger-car fuel trends in Europe, China, Japan, North America, India, South America, and South Korea and discusses changes in engine count and engine displacement in the automotive industry. The study also provides an overview and implementation roadmap of the New European Driving Cycle (NEDC) and World Harmonized Light Vehicle Test Procedures (WLTP) cycle.

Strategic powertrain technologies necessary for carbon-dioxide reduction in Europe are also highlighted, and the impact of exhaust after-treatment solutions on diesel cars has also been discussed. The study concludes with a European voice-of-consumer study, which analyses consumer preferences towards gasoline, diesel, hybrid, and electric engines.

Key Findings:

- European Outlook: The European market will continue to penalize diesel engines in the short to medium term; but, breakthrough achievements in improving diesel after-treatment efficiency levels will help diesel engines get back their lost market stance to an extent.

- North American Outlook: The most significant trend that North America is likely to witness in the long term is a boost of Zero-emission Vehicles (ZEV) from California and other states actively following the ZEV mandate.

- China Outlook: In China, the NEV incentive program and additional taxation on ICEs will put additional focus on plug-in and battery electric vehicles. China has fallen considerably short of its NEV sales target for 2015, but is expected to pick up in the future. The prime driver for this sales boost in the years to come is the many incentive schemes that offer customers up to $X on purchase of NEVs and give free license plates to qualified vehicles that meet specific criteria. These incentive schemes are expected to run through 2020 (in decreasing scale) aiming at replacing more pure ICEs with cleaner vehicles.

- Indian Outlook: The fuel-price gap between gasoline and diesel in India has been narrowing but diesel prices are also getting competitive. In 2022, the share of gasoline-diesel powertrains is also going to be influenced by future fuel price levels, which are quite volatile. However, boosted and high efficiency gasoline engines are going to enter India in the medium term; this will work in its favour. The level of diesel powertrain investments that Original Equipment Manufacturers (OEMs) are going to make in countries such as India, as more developed countries turn increasingly anti-diesel will also influence the market. Electrified powertrains are likely to become popular if there is continuity of incentive schemes for purchase and infrastructure development, together with governmental efforts to improve manufacturing and supply-chain capabilities
