In South Korea, there are a segmentation in Transmission, consist Manual, Automatic, Automated Manual Transmission, and Others. Manual transmissions, also known as stick shift or standard transmissions require the driver to manually engage and disengage gears using a gear shift and a clutch pedal. Manual transmissions are favored by some consumers for their direct control over gear selection and potentially better fuel efficiency. Automatic transmissions use a fluid-coupling torque converter or a dual-clutch system to automatically change gears without requiring driver input. Automatic transmissions are increasingly popular in South Korea due to their ease of use, especially in heavy traffic or for drivers who prefer a more relaxed driving experience. Niche or specialized transmission technologies that do not fit neatly into the manual, automatic, or AMT categories. Examples include continuously variable transmissions (CVTs), dual-clutch transmissions (DCTs), and hybrid transmissions. These advanced transmission technologies offer benefits such as improved fuel efficiency, faster gear changes, and enhanced driving dynamics, catering to specific consumer preferences and vehicle applications. In South Korea, there are a segmentation in Vehicle, consist Passenger Vehicles, LCVs, HCVs. Passenger vehicles come in various sizes, body styles, and configurations to cater to different consumer preferences. They range from compact hatchbacks and sedans to larger SUVs and luxury vehicles. It’s including cars, SUVs (Sport Utility Vehicles), and minivans primarily designed for transporting passengers. LCVs encompass a range of vehicles designed primarily for commercial purposes while being smaller and lighter than heavy commercial vehicles (HCVs). It’s including light-duty trucks, vans, and pickups commonly used for delivery services, small-scale transportation of goods, and utility purposes. HCVs are larger, heavier vehicles designed for transporting goods over long distances or carrying heavy loads. It’s including trucks, buses, and specialized vehicles with significant weight capacities, such as tractor-trailers (semi-trucks) and construction vehicles.
