Automotive Hydraulics System Global Market Report 2024

Automotive hydraulic systems are power transmission systems that facilitate the transmission of energy or signals through the static or dynamic forces of liquids. This technology is regarded as more precise compared to traditional mechanical drive systems, as mechanical systems may experience efficiency losses over time due to friction. Hydraulic systems utilize fluids to transfer energy between two points, leveraging pressure differences for efficient energy storage and release, surpassing the efficiency of batteries.

Key components in automotive hydraulic systems include the master cylinder, slave cylinder, reservoir, and hoses. These systems find application in various vehicle types, including passenger cars, light commercial vehicles, and heavy commercial vehicles. In passenger cars, automotive hydraulic systems are employed for dynamic height adjustments. Notably, hydraulic braking systems are a prevalent application in passenger cars, utilizing brake fluid to apply pressure to braking pads, which in turn press against the axel to prevent vehicle movement. Automotive hydraulic systems are versatile, serving purposes in brakes, clutches, suspension, and tappets. The primary end users of these systems are original equipment manufacturers (OEMs) and the aftermarket.
