Introduction Introduction Electric motors perform a variety of functions that were formerly consigned to cranks, gears and levers. They are typically found in anything that has an electrical movement or solenoid function such as window-lifts, fuel pumps, mirror and headlamp adjusters, ABS, clutches, automated manual transmissions, parking brakes and steering systems. The trend toward electric cars mean vehicles will require more small motors, too. Bosch estimates that some of today's premium vehicles feature over X electric motors carrying out a variety of functions. Although electric motors have long since been used to power certain vehicle componentry, such as wiper systems, these markets have matured. Meanwhile, growth markets are appearing. For example, manufacturers predict significant growth with gearbox actuators (used for double clutch automated transmissions, actuation for transfer cases and torque distribution differential gears), power steering motors and electric machines for hybrid vehicles. Manufacturers also expect to see more DC electric motors used in automotive interiors in the future, since there is a general trend towards more electrification. This means that many manual functions, even in the lower vehicle segments, will increasingly be electrically operated. Meanwhile, the use of actuators is also on the rise. Particularly when it comes to convenience features, such as backrest adjusters, the new electric actuators are becoming increasingly prevalent... 1

Forecasts Forecasts This section sets out our estimates and forecasts of electric motors used in a variety of applications fitted to newly-assembled passenger cars and light vehicles across X of the world s largest light vehicle markets - which collectively account for more than X per cent of world light vehicle production. Our forecasts range is from 2013 through to 2023 with spot forecasts for 2028 and 2033. Each forecast group sets out first the market fitment/penetration percentage rates followed by market volumes ( 000s). Our forecasts are not extrapolative but dependent on the underlying drivers of supply and demand. Each forecast is based on vehicle data prepared by our partner, LMC Automotive. The vehicle data (passenger cars and light commercial vehicles) includes:...
Markets Markets We see a number of trends and drivers shaping the passenger car and light vehicle electric motors sector, including: It is estimated that the average car has around X electric motors - many due to motorists insatiable demand for greater comfort and convenience. In a top-range Mercedes-Benz, for example, there are around ten motors in each seat. As with so many other car components and systems, the major technical advances in electric motors and drives focus on units which are smaller, lighter and quieter. Electric motors perform a variety of functions that were formerly consigned to cranks, gears and levers. They are typically found in anything that has an electrical movement or solenoid function - such as windowlifts, fuel pumps, mirror and headlamp adjusters, ABS, clutches, automated manual transmissions, parking brakes and steering systems. Although electric motors have long since been used to power certain vehicle componentry, growth markets are appearing. For example, manufacturers predict significant growth with gearbox actuators (used for double clutch automated transmissions, actuation for transfer cases and torque distribution differential gears), power steering motors and electric machines for hybrid vehicles. Manufacturers also expect to see more DC electric motors used in automotive interiors in the future, since there is a general trend towards more electrification. Yet when used for comfort and convenience systems in the vehicle's interior, an important development goal is to make the motors as quiet as possible. Motors that run a lot of the time, such as blowers, also need to be highly efficient. In the power window department, manufacturers report a growing need for smaller, lighter motors to fit in the increasingly slim doors of modern cars. On the wiper motor front, manufacturers note that reductions in weight and size as well as the improvement of exterior appearance are priorities for windscreen washer systems. Manufacturers of brushless DC motors are also pushing to develop smaller motors yet maintain power and speed.
Technologies Technologies Defining the elements According to Nidec, there are two kinds of DC motors: brush and brushless. Brushless DC motors differ from conventional brush DC motors in that the current which produces mechanical energy is applied to stationary coils via electronic switches without physical contact with the rotor, rather than stationary rods brushing against the rotating coil. Nidec points out that conventional brush DC motors have several limitations: brush life, brush residue, maximum speed and electrical noise. By avoiding friction, sparks and the wearing and fragmenting of the brush rods, brushless DC motors provide cleaner, faster, more efficient and quieter operation and longer maintenance-free life than conventional brush DC motors. Although brushless DC motors have many advantages over brush DC motors, Nidec says the use of brushless DC motors is still mainly confined to precision applications in disc drives and industrial motion equipment that require high efficiency, smooth operation and precise speed control...
