LONDON—Growing concern for the environment and desire for efficiency are driving demand for electric vehicles. While considerable progress has been made in consumer vehicles in this area, commercial vehicles have so far seen less innovation. However, this is beginning to change, and several companies are now developing hybrid-electric systems for heavy-duty vehicles.
Infiniti Research has observed that automakers are increasingly manufacturing energy-efficient vehicles and improving the design of smart cars. One area that automakers focus on when producing electric and hybrid vehicles is power- and drivetrain systems that comprise of components such as a clutch, transmission, propeller shaft, propeller shaft yoke, and rear axle.
In their latest study, Infiniti Research worked with a leading chemical engineering firm to assess the potential of the aluminum propeller shaft and aluminum propeller shaft yoke markets, developing strategies to fast track the company’s growth.

Market Developments
Volvo is currently testing a hybrid long-haul truck that is expected to produce 30% less CO2 than its normal counterparts and see fuel savings of 5%-10%. Long-haul trucks are a significant source of fuel consumption and emissions, so increasing efficiency to such an extent could have far-reaching effects on the environment, as well as reduce fuel costs. Volvo’s truck has a powertrain that is able to charge its batteries while going downhill or breaking. The company has also updated its driver support system to determine when it is best to use the diesel engine and when to use the electric motor.
In a similar vein, Consolidated Metco and Protean Electric are partnering to create their own hybrid-electric solutions for medium and heavy-duty commercial vehicles. They have developed an in-wheel electric drive system that will improve fuel efficiency, weight, and drivetrain optimization, as well as address other regulations and demands.
