The Global Bus Steering System Market size is projected to grow from $5.4 billion in 2021 to $X.X billion by 2028, at a CAGR of 6.9%. Increasing demand for buses due to rising population and urbanization will drive the growth during the forecast period. Further, growing investments from manufacturers in research and development are expected to propel the market over the coming years. The Asia Pacific region is projected to witness high growth rates owing to its focus on infrastructure development coupled with expanding middle-class populations in developing countries such as India and China.
Bus steering systems are a set of mechanical devices and components that allow the driver to turn the front wheels or steer the vehicle. They help in changing direction, controlling yaw, and power-steering for smoother driving. Steering is an important component as it helps in maintaining control over your bus with respect to its orientation on road. A bus steering system must be dependable, precise, and efficient in handling buses of varied sizes. An integrated system has all necessary parts fitted together while independent ones can be bought separately depending upon requirements. The main types of bus steering systems available include manual (assisted) and pneumatic/hydraulic which use air pressure instead of electrical power; hydraulic which uses fluid under high pressure; electric which utilizes electromagnetic force for turning wheels; rack-and-pinion, worm gear, pendulum swing, and worm drive.
On the basis of Type, the global bus steering system market is segmented into mechanical steering systems, power steering systems, and others.
A mechanical steering system is one that uses a set of gears, either manual or powered, to turn the front wheels by rotating the shaft. The gears are attached to the steering wheel, and turning it moves the shaft that is connected to the wheels. They use a rack and pinion mechanism to turn the front wheels to steer the vehicle. A mechanical system is very reliable and allows for more precise turning.
These types of steering systems typically have an electronic control module (ECM) for monitoring high voltage circuits in order to keep them safe during operation under extreme conditions such as impulses. They also help regulate fuel consumption and emissions through pressure modulation according to driving situations like climbs/descents or turns. This helps improve bus performance while managing costs more efficiently than other options available in this market segment.
On the basis of Application, this global bus steering systems market is segmented into single-deck buses, double-deck buses, and others.
Bus steering systems are used in Single-Deck buses to help the driver maintain control over the vehicle and keep it on track while traveling. They provide a way for drivers to steer their vehicles, by activating a mechanical drive or electric motor connected to one of the wheels which can turn left/right. The bus’s front wheel is steered through this connection that uses linkage rods (or “parsons rod”) – an arrangement with three pivoting points: two at either end of the steering column and another in between these called “the kingpin” where they all meet.
The bus steering system is used to steer the double-decker buses. The rear wheels are steered by hydraulic, air, or vacuum power and provide a turning radius of approximately 28 feet (approximately eight meters). In double-deck buses, the steering systems are used to control the direction of the bus in its own lane. A double-decker bus has either an electric power steering system or a hydraulic pull-type steering assembly attached to it.
On the basis of Region, the global bus steering system market is segmented into North America, Latin America, Europe, Asia Pacific, and Middle East & Africa. North America has been dominating the global bus steering system market owing to its strong automobile industry and relatively high demand from countries such as Canada, Mexico, and the United States of America for new vehicles that use power systems that drive buses on roads at higher speeds without much difficulty or external force required. Likewise, other emerging economies like Brazil have resulted in increased growth prospects for this market during the forecast period 2021-2028. Asian countries such as China's growing economy have contributed significantly towards increased demand for various segments of commercial vehicles including double-decker buses.
The growth factors for the global bus steering system market are the high rate of urbanization, rising fuel prices, improving fleet efficiency, and rapid development in innovation. Moreover, increasing demand for low-emission buses owing to stringent emission norms is also contributing to the growth of this market. Moreover, as bus manufacturers strive to offer next-generation technologies in their products at competitive prices, investments towards R&D activities will be a significant factor propelling the global bus steering system market. This not only attracts new players into this industry but drives innovations among established players too. Additionally, technological advancements have to lead to new technologies being incorporated into steering systems thereby making them more efficient than before with hydraulic ones among others becoming obsolete as a result which has contributed towards market growth significantly.
