Key Industry Highlights

Manufacturers are focusing on increasing their production capacity

The scenario is impressive with increasing production capacity becoming a notable trend in the global market for expanding automotive connecting rods. The need is to scale operations as the global automotive output rises particularly in the case of developing economies.
In this regard regions like the Asia Pacific are very dynamic as a result of developing economies supplanting urbanization and increasing demand for vehicles of all market segments She noted growth in production capacity as venturing into new technological areas is required to produce new types of connecting rods on large scale.

This trend is likely to become prominent in the Asian region where urbanization is at a fast pace enabling mass and premium vehicle production. Today's hybrid vehicles have small torque-efficient and turbocharged engines which means the need arises for specially designed connecting rods. Therefore, manufacturers have to ramp up capacity to shift this niche market.
Bharat Forge: Indian facilities were recently expanded to meet the upcoming need for connecting rods related to commercial vehicles and passenger vehicles.
Mahle GmbH: Emphasis was laid on lightweight aluminum connecting rods while investing in capacity augmentation across Europe and North America.

Shift towards Lightweight Materials and Advanced Alloys

The use of lightweight materials in automotive engines has massively improved for the simple fact that the details feature materials such as forged steel, titanium, and aluminum alloys which are firm yet light. Such upgrades to connecting rods – parts of an engine is a reciprocating mechanism – allow for fuel economy and better vehicle efficiency overall.

Thin connecting rods are in demand due to EVs becoming more popular over diesel engines as the weight of each component and boosting efficiency is essential, and so are environmental standards, and strict regulations. Substituting in lighter alloys has enabled the automotive industry to tackle fuel consumption and emission standards achieved through the decrease in engine weight improving the vehicle's overall dynamic. Furthermore, to expand on lighter alloys, materials such as titanium are good at enhancing the vehicle's performance and durability.

A significant innovator and investor in lightweight materials including aluminum and forged steel is Mahle, and this is essential for improving fuel economy for both hybrid and conventional engines, as well as automotive construction as a whole.
