“Shift Toward Synthetic and Low-Viscosity Transmission Fluids for Enhanced Efficiency”
- One prominent trend in the transmission fluids market is the increasing adoption of synthetic and low-viscosity fluid formulations to meet the demands of modern high-performance and fuel-efficient vehicles.
- These advanced fluids offer superior thermal stability, oxidation resistance, and frictional properties, contributing to smoother gear shifts, extended drain intervals, and improved fuel economy.
- For instance, OEMs are increasingly recommending low-viscosity automatic transmission fluids (ATFs) such as Dexron VI or Mercon LV for newer vehicle models, which reduce energy losses and align with stringent CO₂ emission regulations.
- These trend is driving innovation in transmission fluid technologies and is expected to significantly influence product development and OEM partnerships over the forecast period.
