Global Commercial Vehicle Instrument Cluster Market 2017-2021, has been prepared based on an in-depth market analysis with inputs from industry experts. The report covers the market landscape and its growth prospects over the coming years. The report also includes a discussion of the key vendors operating in this market.

The latest trend gaining momentum in the market is Hybrid futuristic instrument cluster. The first instrument clusters were analog clusters. Then, digital clusters were developed, and currently, hybrid instrument clusters are in trend. This hybrid instrument cluster is manufactured by combining traditional analog indicators with three-dimensional tinted glass-look surface. Seven-inch AMOLED display along with analog instrument dials integrates into the black panel surface of the instrument cluster.

According to the report, one of the major drivers for this market is Digital instrument clusters are the future of autonomous trucks. The future of the truck industry is the self-driving or autonomous truck. The technology that has been used in autonomous Freightliner Inspiration truck will reduce accidents, improve fuel consumption, cut highway congestion, and safeguard the environment. The Freightliner Inspiration truck was equipped with Daimler's highway pilot control system. This system is similar to autopilot in an airliner.

Once the truck reaches the highway, the driver will get a visual prompt in the instrument cluster to activate the highway pilot system. Once it is activated, the vehicle automatically switches to autonomous mode and adapts to the speed of traffic. Lane keeping and collision preventive functions are provided in this highway pilot system. The truck automatically follows speed limits, maintains a certain distance from the vehicle ahead, and follows stop and go function.

Further, the report states that one of the major factors hindering the growth of this market is Software integration challenges for digital instrument cluster. Digital instrument clusters need a graphics controller for display. They also need a 32-bit CPU with a clock rate of at least 200 MHz because 8- or 16-bit CPU cannot move many pixels. To feed virtual gauges, the cluster requires a CAN interface and one or more analog to digital converters (ADCs) to get information.
