The forecast is based on existing orders and means that production of transmission sets should rise from 3.5 million a year to 4.2 million. An increasing proportion of these will be four-wheel drive transmissions.


Growth will also come from dual clutch transmissions, which are expected to be adopted first in Europe, then in north America and the Far East.
