New analysis from Frost & Sullivan (http://www.automotive.frost.com), Future of the Powertrain Market and Engine Technology Uptake Analysis in Brazilian Passenger Vehicles, finds that powertrain production that stood at 2.9-3.3 million units in 2012 will grow to reach 3.9– 4.2 million units in 2020. However, making state-of-the-art powertrain technologies affordable is a key challenge facing the Brazilian market, as the costs of production as well as vehicle ownership remain high.
