All Wheel Drive Market Overview:
Specifically in North America, the designation AWD has been used and marketed for several decades to describe vehicles with permanent drive, differential between the front and rear drive shafts, and active torque transfer management, especially after the introduction of ABS. During road driving, a differential between the axles is used to prevent driveline windup when tire grip is good. Off-road, because the tires slip due to the limited grip, this is not necessary. It is possible that all-wheel-drive vehicles designed for extensive off-road use do not have such a differential, so they suffer from wind-up when used on roads. This problem is also avoided by selectable 4WD, which requires only a dog clutch in the transfer case rather than a differential. Hence, Jeeps and Land Rovers were among the early off-road vehicles to use this system. There was an interest in giving all-wheel drive to conventional cars in the 1960s as vehicles became more sophisticated and tires gave better winter performance. Not for use off-road, but for use on dry or snowy roads in winter.
In a high-speed road-based vehicle, all-wheel drive was first introduced by exotic vehicles such as the high-performance Jensen FF, followed by the AMC Eagle, Subaru Leone and Audi Quattro series. To make this drivetrain safe and drivable, these cars used viscous couplings and differentials, especially the Quattro. A permanent all-wheel drive system was also used in the first off-road / on-road hybrids, such as the Range Rover. Both axles are rigidly coupled in selectable 4WD, which is advantageous in very bad off-road conditions. A differential lock can be used in a permanent AWD system with a differential to gain the same advantage.
With the advent of IoT and AI, the automotive industry is bound to showcase significant growth in the upcoming years. The rise in the manufacturing of autonomous vehicles, the customers obtaining predictive maintenance data, understanding traffic dynamics are some of the factors that have resulted in the significant growth of the automotive industry. Furthermore, many car dealers are using latest technologies like augmented reality which enhances the buying experience of consumers. Major car manufacturers are slowly adopting All Wheel Drive owing to the air pollution caused by gasoline and diesel vehicles which has opened new opportunities for emerging players to establish their position in the market.
