Automotive Valves Market Trends

As the automotive industry moves toward greater electrification, there is a trend towards developing electrically actuated valve systems. For instance, in April 2024, Emerson launched the new ASCOTM Series 148/149 motorized actuator and safety valve tailored for safety shutoff and industrial fuel oil burner recirculation applications. This innovative solution offers industrial users a reliable and versatile tool to prevent overpressure, leaks, and system malfunctions, thus mitigating potent al health and safety incidents. Designed to suit a wide range of combustion system applications, it ensures enhanced protection and performance.

These systems, such as electric variable valve timing (VVT) and electric valve actuators, provide more precise control over valve operation than traditional mechanical or hydraulic systems. This enhances engine performance, improves fuel efficiency, and reduces emissions. Hybrid vehicles, which combine internal combustion engines with electric powertrains, also benefit from these advanced valve technologies, making them more efficient and responsive.
