CNG Powertrain Global Market Report 2024

A Compressed Natural Gas (CNG) powertrain is a mechanism responsible for transferring power generated by an engine to a propeller or axle for vehicle propulsion, utilizing compressed natural gas (CNG) as its primary fuel source. Notably, this powertrain offers cleaner combustion and emits fewer harmful gases in comparison to conventional petroleum or diesel engines.

The principal drive types associated with CNG powertrains include front-wheel drive, all-wheel drive, and rear-wheel drive configurations. Front-wheel drive entails an engine and gearbox setup where power is directed solely to the vehicle's front wheels. CNG powertrains can operate on different types of fuel, namely mono-fuel and bi-fuel options. These powertrains find application across various vehicle categories such as commercial vehicles and passenger vehicles.

The cng powertrain market size has grown exponentially in recent years. It will grow from $83.58 billion in 2023 to $100.5 billion in 2024 at a compound annual growth rate (CAGR) of 20.2%. The growth observed in the historical period can be attributed to several factors. These include the implementation of stringent environmental regulations and emissions standards, the stable pricing of natural gas, reduced reliance on oil-based fuels, advantages in fuel efficiency leading to cost savings, and global concerns regarding energy security.

The cng powertrain market size is expected to see rapid growth in the next few years. It will grow to $195.91 billion in 2028 at a compound annual growth rate (CAGR) of 18.2%. Anticipated growth in the forecast period is driven by factors such as the increased production of renewable natural gas (RNG), a concentrated effort on employing lightweight materials in the design of CNG vehicles, an improved fueling experience facilitated by digital solutions, and the worldwide expansion of CNG fueling infrastructure. Noteworthy trends expected in this period encompass a heightened emphasis on sustainable transportation, advancements in CNG engine technology, innovations in CNG engine management systems, and the integration of technology in CNG vehicles.

The growing demand for cleaner alternative fuels is a significant factor contributing to the ongoing expansion of the CNG powertrain market. These alternative fuels, generated from sources other than petroleum, are recognized for their environmental benefits, emitting fewer pollutants than conventional fuels. The CNG powertrain, utilizing compressed natural gas (CNG) as an alternative fuel, plays a pivotal role in reducing carbon emissions and promoting particle-free consumption, thereby addressing the imperative of minimizing air pollution. A notable trend supporting this growth is the increase in U.S. natural gas imports, as reported by the U.S. Energy Information Administration (EIA) in December 2022. Natural gas imports rose from 2.55 trillion cubic feet in 2020 to 2.81 trillion cubic feet in 2021, while exports increased from 5.28 trillion cubic feet to 6.65 trillion cubic feet during the same period. This surge in demand for cleaner fuels is a key driver propelling the CNG powertrain market forward.

The escalating demand for passenger vehicles is poised to drive substantial growth in the CNG powertrain market. Passenger vehicles, designed for the transportation of up to nine individuals, are increasingly adopting CNG powertrains as an alternative to traditional internal combustion engines. This transition offers various advantages, including reduced emissions, enhanced fuel efficiency, and cost-effectiveness. Notably, reports from the Society of Motor Manufacturers and Traders (SMMT) indicate a 25.8% increase in passenger car sales in the UK, rising from 140,958 units in 2022 to 177,266 units in 2023. Globally, the International Organization of Motor Vehicle Manufacturers reported an increase in passenger vehicle sales from 56.43 million in 2021 to 57.48 million in 2022. This heightened demand for passenger vehicles underscores the driving force behind the growth of the CNG powertrain market.

The prevailing trend driving the CNG powertrain market is technological innovation, with major companies prioritizing enhancements in engine performance for their latest offerings. A case in point is the May 2022 launch by US Hybrid, a US-based power conversion and powertrain system manufacturer, introducing natural gas-powered parallel hybrid powertrain technology designed for use in drayage and long-haul trucks. This groundbreaking powertrain technology boasts near-zero emissions and delivers superior performance compared to other CNG or diesel counterparts, featuring 640 hp combined horsepower and 1770 lb-ft maximum torque. Notably, this industry-first innovation offers near-zero-emission roadside charging assistance, adding a layer of versatility and convenience for standard long-haul fleet operators.

Key players in the CNG powertrain market are strategically focused on advancing next-generation technological features to maintain a competitive edge. These features position CNG powertrains as viable alternatives to traditional internal combustion engines, offering environmental benefits, heightened efficiency, and cost-effectiveness. An illustrative example is Tata Motors, an India-based automobile manufacturer, which, in January 2022, introduced iCNG technology in its automotive products, Tiago and Tigor. These models have been developed with a focus on maximizing comfort and convenience for their owners. The 'Intelligent' technology includes features such as a single advance ECU, automatic switchover between fuels, immediate start in CNG (a segment-first feature), faster refueling, and a digital instrument cluster. This commitment to technological innovation underscores the dynamic landscape of the CNG powertrain market.

In June 2022, Hyliion Holdings Corp, a U.S.-based manufacturer specializing in electric powertrains, entered into a partnership with Cummins Inc., another U.S.-based manufacturer known for producing natural gas powertrains. The objective of this collaboration is to optimize the performance of the natural gas engine utilized in the Hypertruck ERX powertrain developed by Hyliion. Through this strategic partnership, both companies are focused on obtaining vital environmental certifications for Cummins' natural gas internal combustion engines. These certified engines are intended for incorporation into Hyliion's Hypertruck ERX powertrain, aligning with the shared goal of enhancing environmental sustainability within the transportation sector.
