Automotive hydraulic systems refer to power transmission systems that transmit energy or signals through the static or dynamic forces of liquids. This system is considered more accurate than traditional mechanical drive systems because the mechanical system can lose efficiency over time due to friction. These systems use fluids to transfer energy between two points due to the pressure difference. They can store and release energy more efficiently than batteries. The main types of components in the automotive hydraulics system are the master cylinder, slave cylinder, reservoir, and hose. The different vehicle types include passenger cars, light commercial vehicles, and heavy commercial vehicles. Passenger cars use automotive hydraulic systems for a dynamic adjustment in the height of the car. Passenger cars utilize hydraulic braking systems as the most common application of hydraulics. These systems use brake fluid to apply pressure to a braking pad, which then presses against the axel and prevents the car from moving. The various applications include brakes, clutches, suspension, and tappets. The end users are original equipment manufacturers (OEMs) and after-market. The automotive hydraulics system market research report is one of a series of new reports from The Business Research Company that provides automotive hydraulics system market statistics, including automotive hydraulics system industry global market size, regional shares, competitors with an automotive hydraulics system market share, detailed automotive hydraulics system market segments, market trends and opportunities, and any further data you may need to thrive in the automotive hydraulics system industry.
