Global Automotive Drive Shaft Competitive Landscape Professional Research Report 2025

Research Summary

An automotive drive shaft, also known as a propeller shaft or prop shaft, is responsible for transmitting torque from the vehicle＇s transmission to the differential and ultimately to the wheels. The drive shaft is an essential component of the drivetrain and allows the wheels to rotate at different speeds while maintaining traction on the road and providing power to the vehicle. Drive shafts are typically made of high-strength steel, aluminum, or carbon fiber and may include CV joints or U-joints to allow for movement and flexibility.
