Global Bus Transmission System (BTS) Market Definition

The transmission system is a type of gearbox that transmits the power developed by an internal combustion engine to the rear wheel and varies the amount of torque according to vehicle requirement. The transmission system smoothly connects or disconnects the engine with the rest of the power train and maintains the speed ratio between the engine and the drive wheel. More functions of the transmission system help the vehicle to start from rest and transmit the torque only to the required wheel. The arrangement of the transmission and its position depends on whether the vehicle is front-wheel drive or rear-wheel drive.

Bus transmission system usually includes the entire drivetrain which includes components such as a gearbox, clutch, differentials final driveshaft, and driveshaft. Various types of designs available in the bus transmission system are Rear Engine Front Wheel Drive, Front Engine Rear Wheel Drive, and Mid-engine. There are two types of transmissions in these systems i.e. Manual Transmission System and Automatic Transmission System. These systems are used in applications such as Coach Buses, City & Intercity Buses, and School Buses.

Global Bus Transmission System (BTS) Market Overview

Rising road congestion in developed & developing countries and increasing demand for improved public transport are expected to drive the bus transmission market over the predicted years. Also, huge government investment to enhance public transport experience and the growing demand for higher gear number buses expects a boost to the market in the coming years. Furthermore, lower-class & middle-class people who cannot afford personal vehicles rely on the bus transport system.
