This new report estimates four wheel drive (4WD) vehicle shipments to cross over 7 million, in terms of unit sales, by 2019. The rising demand for sports utility vehicles (SUVs) fitted with MWD propels the growth of this market.

The various benefits offered by HEVs such as reduced carbon emissions, better fuel efficiency, reduced dependence on natural resources for fuel, and better performance have increased their adoption in the recent years. As a result, the automotive 4WD system manufacturers are focusing and launching new 4WD systems, especially for HEVs.

According to the report, 4WD vehicles offer the advantages of both FWD and RWD. One of the primary benefits offered by 4WD is the better traction performance in both severe weather conditions and on dry road surfaces.
