Automotive Pump Market Opportunities

Growing focus on vehicle sustainability fuels demand for advanced automotive pumps

The demand for enhancing the sustainability of vehicles for both passengers and goods is becoming a huge business opportunity for the automotive pump market in the future years. This has led to increased concern in the reduction of carbon emissions and improvement of fuel efficiency in transport which has led to the adoption of cleaner technology and fuels. This shift towards more environmentally friendly solutions is increasing the need for high performance automotive pumps that can will improve vehicle performance while reducing on fuel consumption.

However, there is limited evidence showing how ‘sustainability’ applies to passenger and freight vehicles with particular focus on fuel efficiency. Emission standards and fuel economy standards continue to pose stricter requirements for the automakers to meet meaning that new technologies such as turbocharging, hybrid powertrains as well as EVs need special pumps to operate. For instance, turbo charged engines need high performance fuel and oil pumps so as to deal with high pressure and high temperature which are useful for getting better combustion and therefore, less pollution emissions. Some of the functions served by electric pumps include battery cooling in hybrid and EV systems and circulation of fluids within electric drivetrain as a determiner of trims and durability.

Furthermore, the EU policy focus on the electrification and the use of alternative fuels such as hydrogen in freight transport that call for special types of pumps. For instance, while hydrogen assembly in vehicles requires fuel pumps that include characteristics of hydrogen; electrical trucks require competent cooling assemblages to manage the temperature of the battery while on long-distances.
