Global Fifth Wheel Coupling Market

The automotive fifth wheel coupling system in a vehicle mainly consists of mounting plates, kingpin, couplers, various linkages and others. the fifth wheel is a coupling device and the purpose of the fifth wheel coupling device is to connect a tractive unit to a towed unit. the tractor is normally a tractive unit, but in few cases like the multiple trailer train, a fifth wheel also can be located on a lead trailer. the function of fifth wheel is mainly to permit articulation between the tractive and the towed units. Fifth wheel coupling market is broadly classified as compensating fifth wheel, semi-oscillating fifth wheel and fully oscillating fifth wheel market, which depends upon the ability to oscillate between the trailer and the towed unit. the major factors that are responsible for the increasing number of advancements and demand for good fifth wheel coupling system are to ensure the safety of products that are transported in the trailers; reduce damage of goods carried during transit from one region to another. In the coming years, the increasing demand for heavy commercial vehicles in the regions of Europe and Asia-Pacific, mainly in China, India and Japan, is expected to drive the market for more advanced fifth wheel coupling system in commercial vehicles.
