The automotive axle is a key component of the automotive drivetrain and transmission system. It is responsible for transferring power from the engine to the wheels, allowing the vehicle to move. Axles are typically made of steel and are connected to the wheels via bearings, hubs, and other components. They are also connected to the transmission system, allowing the driver to control the speed and direction of the vehicle. Axles come in a variety of sizes and configurations, depending on the type of vehicle and its intended use. For example, a heavy-duty truck may require a larger, more robust axle than a passenger car. Axles are also designed to handle different types of terrain, such as off-road or on-road. The automotive axle market is highly competitive, with many companies offering a wide range of products. Some of the major players in the market include Dana Corporation, GKN Automotive, Meritor, ZF Friedrichshafen, and American Axle & Manufacturing. Show Less Read more
