Press Release Body: Bharat Book Bureau, a leading market information aggregator has
put forth
a report - Global market review of OE gearbox clutches - forecasts to 2013
(http://www.bharatbook.com/detail.asp?id=7863)

Visually, the clutch has not changed much, but there have been some significant
technical advances during the last decade.
New environmental and fuel efficiency legislation, combined with major advances in
electronics and manufacturing techniques have paved the way for a flood of new
automated transmission technologies, including high-performance AMTs (Automated
Manual Transmissions), dual-clutch transmissions (DCTs), CVTs (Continuously Variable
Transmissions), and highly innovative new technologies such as Torotrak\'s IVT (
Infinitely Variable Transmission) and Antonov\'s Automatic Drive Transmission.

So although automatic transmissions are gaining a greater market share, in Northern
Europe over three-quarters of passenger cars are still sold with manual transmission
- and with consumer resistance to automatic transmissions remaining strong, can
Europe\'s sceptical consumers be persuaded to change to new dual-clutch
transmissions?

This fourth edition of the global market review of OE gearbox clutches provides an
overview of the vehicle clutch industry, with updated market analysis, key market
drivers, and top level market fitment, volume and value forecasts through to 2013.

We review the technical advances in clutches, defining the parts that make up the
clutch itself, as well as what we can expect to see in tomorrow\'s cars.

The report also contains exclusive Q&As with key executives, including Dr Wolfgang
Reik, Vice President of R&D, LuK GmbH and Bill Martin, Managing Director of
Zeroshift.
