Automotive Cockpits & Dashboards Report 2014
M2 - Wed Jul 16, 6:17AM CDT
Research and Markets (http://www.researchandmarkets.com/research/2m3qkw/the_automotive) has announced the addition of the "The Automotive Cockpits & Dashboards Report" report to their offering. This 2014 edition of the Automotive Cockpits and Dashboards Report is the latest in the series of reports looking at trends and developments in the vehicle cockpit space. Over time we have seen many changes in terms of the design and structure of the main modules and components that go to make up the dashboard and cockpit element of the vehicle's interior. In particular the increasing level of in-vehicle connectivity has caused interior designers to rethink the layout and content of the dashboard and centre console. In this report the main trends and developments are highlighted, with particular reference to examples of the way in which the industry has responded to the challenge. The strongest influence on the vehicle's cockpit and dashboard continues to be the requirement for in-vehicle connectivity. Consumer demand for seamless connectivity between home, office and vehicle dominates the cockpit's interior design and structure. The technology required to provide the level of connectivity demanded by users is increasingly complex and, by necessity, has to embrace advanced driver active safety systems (ADAS) and the anticipated development of semi-autonomous and ultimately, fully autonomous vehicles. A major concern in this regard is cognitive overload and how to ensure that this is managed in such as way as to minimise driver distraction. It is in this area that significant research has been undertaken into user-friendly Human Machine Interface (HMI) and the results are being seen in the way in which HMI is incorporated in the cockpit area. This report also includes an extract from WhoSuppliesWhom database. This highlights some of the current and recently awarded contracts for the main components in the cockpit area together with information on new suppliers of both modules and components. The keynote interview for this report is with Dr Hassan Moussa, Product Line Engineering Manager, Clusters and Displays Applications - Europe.

Concise Analysis of the International and Chinese Automotive Exhaust System Industry
M2 - Mon Mar 31, 4:24AM CDT
Research and Markets (http://www.researchandmarkets.com/research/ftv5jv/global_and) has announced the addition of the "Concise Analysis of the International and Chinese Automotive Exhaust System Industry" report to their offering. Currently, Sinopec's automotive urea solution filling stations in China are operating at a loss. In the short term, barreled urea solution will still occupy the mainstream market, but it has high requirements on storage and transportation, therefore, it's difficult for domestic Emission Standard IV-compliant vehicle users to refuel urea solution conveniently. Truck drivers' use of urea solution is uncontrollable, they can only use urea solution in annual vehicle inspection or examination, which means the insignificance of SCR even it's available. The government is well aware of this, so China is energetically promoting EGR, especially for diesel vehicles under 2L. There is no position for SCR on the market. In addition, the quality of China's oil products is poor, Sinopec, China's largest oil refinery, has just completed the upgrading of Standard III diesel, and has no schedule for Standard IV. Most EGR-enabled engines cannot use Standard III diesel which may do harm to the engines. Currently, China needs to import Standard IV diesel from other countries and regions. Key Topics Covered: 1.

Global Automotive Seats Market 2014-2018 with Johnson Controls, Lear, Faurecia EO & Toyota Boshoku Dominating
M2 - Fri Mar 21, 10:37AM CDT
Research and Markets (http://www.researchandmarkets.com/research/ld6gsg/global_automotive) has announced the addition of the "Global Automotive Seats Market 2014-2018 with Johnson Controls, Lear, Faurecia EO & Toyota Boshoku Dominating" report to their offering. Earlier, automotive seats were heavy, space-consuming objects in vehicles with little added value and comfort. The traditional seating systems were in demand due to the vehicle condition and taste preferences of the consumers. However, in recent years, customers purchasing vehicles are more concerned about the weight of the seats and the space that they occupy in the total available vehicle space. This is mainly because the total weight of the vehicle is an important factor that determines the overall performance and fuel efficiency of the vehicle. In addition, the high demand for compact automobiles in developing countries due to their cost advantage has increased the demand for thinner and lighter seats that occupy less space in the vehicle. Hence, the demand for thinner seats with a high strength-to-weight ratio is a recent trend being witnessed in the market. According to the report, one of the major drivers in this market is the increased emphasis on driver and passenger comfort. OEMs are increasingly focusing on driver and passenger comfort, which is predicted to have a significant impact on the market. Moreover, the increasing number of accidents has created awareness among people of the need to improve driver comfort and thereby reduce distractions while driving. Further, the report states that one of the major challenges in this market is the highly volatile prices of the raw materials used in the manufacture of automotive seats. The prices of raw materials such as leather and polyester, which are used in automotive seats, are constantly fluctuating due to various microeconomic factors, thereby presenting a challenge for OEMs. Key vendors dominating this market space are: - Johnson Controls INC. - Lear Corp. - Faurecia EO - Toyota Boshoku Corp. Other Companies Featured: - Aisin Seiki Co. Ltd. - Amerigon - Brose Fahrzeugteile GmbH & Co.KG - Dura Automotive Systems LLC - Grammer AG - Grupo - Antolin Irausa S.A. - Kongsberg Automotive - Magna International Inc. - Martinrea International Inc. - NHK Spring Co.

Concise Analysis of the International Automotive Exhaust & Aftertreatment Systems Industry
M2 - Thu Mar 20, 4:53AM CDT
Research and Markets (http://www.researchandmarkets.com/research/vvlgjm/automotive) has announced the addition of the "Concise Analysis of the International Automotive Exhaust & Aftertreatment Systems Industry" report to their offering. The exhaust and after-treatment market is set for considerable growth, not only through the significant global vehicle production volume growth forecast but also through significant increases in the revenue generated for each system. The tightening regulatory environment has led to considerably increased revenues per vehicle and this is set to improve globally as emerging high growth markets catch up with Europe and Northern America in terms of the level of equipment needed to meet regulations. Automotive emissions system technology is precompetitive not only in the US and Europe, but largely, across emerging markets as well. The awkward, and ultimately costly situation where different national and regional regulation and testing regimes that have required different emissions technologies and systems in order to satisfy disparate markets is being steadily eroded by the harmonisation of emissions regulations. A measure that will bring huge long term benefits to those players in the exhaust and aftertreatment sector. Having initially endured the difficult situation of meeting environmental regulations developed across three different markets; the US, the European Union and Japan, OEMs and suppliers have found that emerging markets have largely been able to pick their regulation 'off the shelf' which has meant that those suppliers that have successfully developed technology to meet those regulations enjoy a competitive advantage in the emerging markets. The report contains a wealth of figures and tables and is accompanied by 18 detailed profiles of the major supplier companies active in the sector. Key Topics Covered: 1. Introduction 2. Key drivers 3. Exhaust and after-treatment technology 4. The exhaust and after-treatment systems market 5. Supplier Profiles Companies Mentioned: - Bienes Turgon - Bosal - Boysen - Calsonic Kansei - Ebersp?cher - Emitec - Faurecia - Futaba - Johnson Matthey - KSPG - Magneti Marelli - Sichuan Bohong Group - Tenneco - Umicore - Wahler Verwaltungsgesellschaft mbH For more information visit http://www.researchandmarkets.com/research/vvlgjm/automotive

Automotive Cockpits & Dashboards Report 2014
M2 - Wed Jul 16, 6:17AM CDT
Research and Markets (http://www.researchandmarkets.com/research/2m3qkw/the_automotive) has announced the addition of the "The Automotive Cockpits & Dashboards Report" report to their offering. This 2014 edition of the Automotive Cockpits and Dashboards Report is the latest in the series of reports looking at trends and developments in the vehicle cockpit space. Over time we have seen many changes in terms of the design and structure of the main modules and components that go to make up the dashboard and cockpit element of the vehicle's interior. In particular the increasing level of in-vehicle connectivity has caused interior designers to rethink the layout and content of the dashboard and centre console. In this report the main trends and developments are highlighted, with particular reference to examples of the way in which the industry has responded to the challenge. The strongest influence on the vehicle's cockpit and dashboard continues to be the requirement for in-vehicle connectivity. Consumer demand for seamless connectivity between home, office and vehicle dominates the cockpit's interior design and structure. The technology required to provide the level of connectivity demanded by users is increasingly complex and, by necessity, has to embrace advanced driver active safety systems (ADAS) and the anticipated development of semi-autonomous and ultimately, fully autonomous vehicles. A major concern in this regard is cognitive overload and how to ensure that this is managed in such as way as to minimise driver distraction. It is in this area that significant research has been undertaken into user-friendly Human Machine Interface (HMI) and the results are being seen in the way in which HMI is incorporated in the cockpit area. This report also includes an extract from WhoSuppliesWhom database. This highlights some of the current and recently awarded contracts for the main components in the cockpit area together with information on new suppliers of both modules and components. The keynote interview for this report is with Dr Hassan Moussa, Product Line Engineering Manager, Clusters and Displays Applications - Europe. Key Topics Covered: Chapter 1: Introduction Chapter 2: The Industry View Chapter 3: Concept vehicles pave the way for future innovations in cockpit and dashboard styling and functionality Chapter 4: HMI - Trends in emerging and advanced HMI Chapter 5: Innovations in displays and instrument clusters Chapter 6: In-vehicle connectivity Chapter 7: Autonomous vehicles Companies Mentioned - CIE Automotive - Calsonic Kansei - Continental - Delphi - Denso - Dr?xlmaier - Faurecia - Hyundai Mobis - IAC - Inteva - Johnson Controls - Magna - Magneti Marelli - Toyoda Gosei - Visteon For more information visit http://www.researchandmarkets.com/research/2m...automotive

Concise Analysis of the International and Chinese Automotive Exhaust System Industry
M2 - Mon Mar 31, 4:24AM CDT
Research and Markets (http://www.researchandmarkets.com/research/ftv5jv/global_and) has announced the addition of the "Concise Analysis of the International and Chinese Automotive Exhaust System Industry" report to their offering. Currently, Sinopec's automotive urea solution filling stations in China are operating at a loss. In the short term, barreled urea solution will still occupy the mainstream market, but it has high requirements on storage and transportation, therefore, it's difficult for domestic Emission Standard IV-compliant vehicle users to refuel urea solution conveniently. Truck drivers' use of urea solution is uncontrollable, they can only use urea solution in annual vehicle inspection or examination, which means the insignificance of SCR even it's available. The government is well aware of this, so China is energetically promoting EGR, especially for diesel vehicles under 2L. There is no position for SCR on the market. In addition, the quality of China's oil products is poor, Sinopec, China's largest oil refinery, has just completed the upgrading of Standard III diesel, and has no schedule for Standard IV. Most EGR-enabled engines cannot use Standard III diesel which may do harm to the engines. Currently, China needs to import Standard IV diesel from other countries and regions. Key Topics Covered: 1.

Global Automotive Seats Market 2014-2018 with Johnson Controls, Lear, Faurecia EO & Toyota Boshoku Dominating
M2 - Fri Mar 21, 10:37AM CDT
Research and Markets (http://www.researchandmarkets.com/research/ld6gsg/global_automotive) has announced the addition of the "Global Automotive Seats Market 2014-2018 with Johnson Controls, Lear, Faurecia EO & Toyota Boshoku Dominating" report to their offering. Earlier, automotive seats were heavy, space-consuming objects in vehicles with little added value and comfort. The traditional seating systems were in demand due to the vehicle condition and taste preferences of the consumers. However, in recent years, customers purchasing vehicles are more concerned about the weight of the seats and the space that they occupy in the total available vehicle space. This is mainly because the total weight of the vehicle is an important factor that determines the overall performance and fuel efficiency of the vehicle. In addition, the high demand for compact automobiles in developing countries due to their cost advantage has increased the demand for thinner and lighter seats that occupy less space in the vehicle. Hence, the demand for thinner seats with a high strength-to-weight ratio is a recent trend being witnessed in the market. According to the report, one of the major drivers in this market is the increased emphasis on driver and passenger comfort. OEMs are increasingly focusing on driver and passenger comfort, which is predicted to have a significant impact on the market. Moreover, the increasing number of accidents has created awareness among people of the need to improve driver comfort and thereby reduce distractions while driving. Further, the report states that one of the major challenges in this market is the highly volatile prices of the raw materials used in the manufacture of automotive seats. The prices of raw materials such as leather and polyester, which are used in automotive seats, are constantly fluctuating due to various microeconomic factors, thereby presenting a challenge for OEMs. Key vendors dominating this market space are: - Johnson Controls INC. - Lear Corp. - Faurecia EO - Toyota Boshoku Corp. Other Companies Featured: - Aisin Seiki Co. Ltd. - Amerigon - Brose Fahrzeugteile GmbH & Co.KG - Dura Automotive Systems LLC - Grammer AG - Grupo - Antolin Irausa S.A. - Kongsberg Automotive - Magna International Inc. - Martinrea International Inc. - NHK Spring Co. Ltd. - Recticel - Sharda Motor Industries - Tachi-S - TS Tech Co. Ltd.

Concise Analysis of the International Automotive Exhaust & Aftertreatment Systems Industry
M2 - Thu Mar 20, 4:53AM CDT
Research and Markets (http://www.researchandmarkets.com/research/vvlgjm/automotive) has announced the addition of the "Concise Analysis of the International Automotive Exhaust & Aftertreatment Systems Industry" report to their offering. The exhaust and after-treatment market is set for considerable growth, not only through the significant global vehicle production volume growth forecast but also through significant increases in the revenue generated for each system. The tightening regulatory environment has led to considerably increased revenues per vehicle and this is set to improve globally as emerging high growth markets catch up with Europe and Northern America in terms of the level of equipment needed to meet regulations. Automotive emissions system technology is precompetitive not only in the US and Europe, but largely, across emerging markets as well. The awkward, and ultimately costly situation where different national and regional regulation and testing regimes that have required different emissions technologies and systems in order to satisfy disparate markets is being steadily eroded by the harmonisation of emissions regulations. A measure that will bring huge long term benefits to those players in the exhaust and aftertreatment sector. Having initially endured the difficult situation of meeting environmental regulations developed across three different markets; the US, the European Union and Japan, OEMs and suppliers have found that emerging markets have largely been able to pick their regulation 'off the shelf' which has meant that those suppliers that have successfully developed technology to meet those regulations enjoy a competitive advantage in the emerging markets. The report contains a wealth of figures and tables and is accompanied by 18 detailed profiles of the major supplier companies active in the sector. Key Topics Covered: 1. Introduction 2. Key drivers 3. Exhaust and after-treatment technology 4. The exhaust and after-treatment systems market 5. Supplier Profiles Companies Mentioned: - Bienes Turgon - Bosal - Boysen - Calsonic Kansei - Ebersp?cher - Emitec - Faurecia - Futaba - Johnson Matthey - KSPG - Magneti Marelli - Sichuan Bohong Group - Tenneco - Umicore - Wahler Verwaltungsgesellschaft mbH For more information visit http://www.researchandmarkets.com/research/vvlgjm/automotive

Global Automotive Seating Systems Report
M2 - Thu Feb 13, 10:52AM CST
Research and Markets (http://www.researchandmarkets.com/research/vjw3qx/automotive ) has announced the addition of the "Global Automotive Seating Systems Report" report to their offering. This fourth edition report takes an in-depth look at the global seating market including the key changes currently underway in the industry and what the future holds for this key sector. The report considers in-house seat manufacture and supply chain developments along with advances in safety, comfort and convenience. The global seating market is clearly led at the tier one level by two US companies and one European company, JCI, Lear and Faurecia. Lear and JCI are also very strong in China owing to their having been early entrants into this market, following General Motors and Volkswagen there in the early days of the Chinese market development. The individual pictures for the major regions show how Lear, JCI, Magna and Faurecia have over two-thirds of the North American and European markets; by contrast the data for Japan/Korea shows how these regions are supplied almost entirely by Japanese/Korean companies. The Japanese supplier Toyota Boshoku is ranked fourth globally owing to its presence in North America and a rapid rise in its business in China and the rest of Asia in recent years. JCI is unique among the European/North American companies in having a presence in Japan; this is a result of its acquisition of the Ikeda seat company some years ago. Key Topics Covered: 1.
