Automotive Emissions Control Markets: 2015 Technologies and Trends
M2 - Mon Mar 30, 11:17AM CDT
Research and Markets (http://www.researchandmarkets.com/research/675675/automotive) has announced the addition of the "Automotive Emissions Control: Technologies and Trends " report to their offering. Although huge progress has been achieved in the reduction of toxic, criterion' emissions from automotive exhausts during the last few decades, regulations continue to be drafted that not only set ever tighter standards, but also include more substances. Emissions from transportation have been associated with a range of health problems that affect a substantial number of people as well as with environmental concerns including the formation of acid rain and ecosystem damage. Alongside this, the automotive industry is being challenged to reduce greenhouse gas emissions, particularly carbon dioxide, which is directly related to fossil fuel consumption. However, criterion emissions including nitrogen oxides, methane, ozone and even particle matter are also implicated in climate change. Furthermore, because of concerns regarding the environmental and economic consequences that climate change could bring, the US Clean Air Act states that greenhouse gases endanger public health and public welfare. As a result, the two categories of automotive emissions - criterion and greenhouse gas - which were previously regarded as two separate fields of concern with two almost completely separate arsenals of technology now overlap to the degree that they comprise one broad technology sector. Furthermore, the laboratory test procedures used to measure criterion emissions and fuel economy are now under the spotlight because they differ in different jurisdictions and because of growing concern that they do not reflect emissions generated in real world' driving. Consequently, efforts are now underway to develop a set of harmonised, global test procedures that better approximate actual on-road use. Light vehicle emissions control: Technologies and trends examines the regulatory and other drivers of the current efforts to reduce automotive emissions as well as the barriers that exist to the implementation of new and existing technologies. As ever, cost is a central issue with automotive manufacturers concerned about the market effects of passing on costs to consumers while government agencies tend to emphasise the fuel cost savings that consumers will enjoy through using a more fuel-efficient vehicle. The current and forthcoming regulations in all major jurisdictions are presented in detail and the progress that is being made towards harmonisation and developing real driving' test protocols are outlined. The market dynamics of the sector are discussed along with forecasting data presented by several analysts and stakeholders in the sector. Then, drawing on a substantial resource of investigative research and papers from recent conferences on automotive emissions reduction, attention is turned to the many technologies that are employed and those that are being developed to better control and reduce automotive emissions. These fall under the main section headings of: - Exhaust after-treatment - Powertrain efficiency - Weight reduction - Drag and friction reduction - Other fuel efficiency technologies - Reducing internal combustion engine use - Alternative fuels Key Topics Covered: Chapter 1: Introduction Chapter 2: Market drivers - Health concerns - Criterion emissions regulations - Fuel economy and CO2 emissions regulations - Energy security - Incentives and taxes - Consumer preferences Chapter 3: Market challenges - Closing the gaps - Fuel Quality Chapter 4: Market dynamics and forecasts - Global vehicle production - Light vehicle engine fuel type - Turbochargers - Stop-start technology - Catalysts and platinum group metals - Electrically-powered ancillaries Chapter 5: Technology developments - Exhaust after-treatment - Internal combustion engine efficiency - Drivetrain technologies - Weight reduction - Drag and friction reduction Chapter 6: Profiles - Arcelor Mittal - BASF - Borgwarner - Bosch - Continental - Corning - Delphi - Denso - Eaton - Eberspacher - Faurecia - Honeywell - IAV - Johnson Matthey - Schaeffler - Tenneco - Umicore - Valeo - Visteon - ZF Friedrichshafen For more information visit http://www.researchandmarkets.com/research/675675/automotive

China Three-way Catalytic Converter Industry Report 2015
M2 - Tue Mar 24, 8:55AM CDT
Research and Markets (http://www.researchandmarkets.com/research/7v3bdz/china_threeway) has announced the addition of the "China Three-way Catalytic Converter Industry Report, 2014" report to their offering. Three-way catalysis refers to the catalysis that converts harmful gases including CO, HC and NOx from automobile exhaust into harmless carbon dioxide, water and nitrogen via oxidization and reduction, mainly with a three-way catalytic converter, which is carried by a porous ceramic material and mounted on a special exhaust pipe. The reason it is called carrier is that it itself does not participate in catalytic reaction, but is covered with a layer of platinum, rhodium, palladium and other precious metals, and is the most important purification device outside the machine installed in an automobile exhaust system. Chinese three-way catalytic converters for passenger cars are mainly divided into two parts, i.e. new demand and replacement demand. From the measured historical data, 2014 is the milestone year for three-way catalytic converter demand. Prior to that, the new demand, influenced by a large base of new cars and still not a replacement tide for three-way catalytic converter, had been significantly higher than the replacement demand, e.g. 17.93 million and 15 million respectively in 2013. However, the replacement demand (20.02 million) exceeded the new demand (19.92 million) in 2014. In the future, with a slowdown in domestic automobile production and sales and the arrival of peak demand for replacing automotive three-way catalytic converters, China's three-way catalytic converter and industry chain parts will be beneficiaries. With regard to catalyst, 26.41 million liters were needed by passenger cars in 2014, of which, over 80% were provided by foreign companies and the remaining 20% by domestic Chinese peers. According to China Internal Combustion Engine Industry Association, as of 2013, all catalysts for joint-venture passenger cars were made by foreign companies, and even for independent brand passenger cars, only 55% of catalysts thereof came from domestic companies. As far as catalyst encapsulation is concerned, the main market is still dominated by foreign-funded or joint-venture enterprises represented by Faurecia and Tenneco which mainly occupy the middle and high-end market and support joint-venture vehicle manufacturers. Wuxi Weifu Lida Catalytic Converter Co., Ltd., a large-scale domestic manufacturer of automobile exhaust purifier, mainly supports self-owned brands. The report highlights the followings: - Overview of three-way catalytic converter, including definition, structure, industry policies, etc. - Global three-way catalytic converter market demand, including global automobile production and sales, demand estimation, etc. - China's three-way catalytic converter market demand, consisting of the development status, competition pattern, market demand, etc. of China's automobile industry; 18 manufacturers in three-way catalytic converter industry chain involving their revenue, net income, revenue structure, production base, catalyst business.

Global and China Automotive Exhaust System Industry Report 2014-2015
M2 - Tue Mar 24, 7:56AM CDT
Research and Markets (http://www.researchandmarkets.com/research/z4bh7r/global_and_china) has announced the addition of the "Global and China Automotive Exhaust System Industry Report, 2014-2015" report to their offering. In 2009, the average price for the exhaust system of each gasoline engine-powered vehicle reached approximately USD250. However, as the environmental protection policies became increasingly strict, this figure climbed to USD280 in 2014. Comparatively, the exhaust system of diesel engine-powered vehicles was much more expensive, with the price for each unit totaling USD350 in 2009 and USD530 in 2014. In September 2014, the Euro 6B standard for light-duty vehicles officially came into force, which, combined with a sharp rise in vehicle sales volume in the United States and China, helped prompt the global auto exhaust system market to increase by 3.2% to USD33.1 billion, which was a little faster than 2.3% in 2013. In 2017, Europe will begin to put Euro 6C standard into effect while China may implement Euro 6A standard for gasoline vehicles. It is expected, therefore, that by 2016 the automotive exhaust system market will expand significantly by 7%. However, it is very likely that only a small number of new standards would go into effect in 2015, and China's high-speed growth will become a past. Thus, we project that the market size of global automotive exhaust system will rise 2.1%. China's diesel engine-driven vehicle exhaust system market may continue to be disappointing. As early as May 2005, the Chinese government announced the national IV standard would come into effect on January 1, 2011, which was delayed for 5 times. It was on January 1, 2015 that the standard was put into effect. But in 2015, with China's economic downturn and declined commercial vehicle sales volume, the competition from commercial vehicles boils down to price competition. The national IV standard will be not implemented at all and therefore most vehicles will still take national III standard. In 2014, the sales volume of trucks in China totaled 3.18 million units in 2014, down 8.9% year on year. Among them, affected by the factors including the increased costs caused by the national IV standard and the automakers' inadequate production, only 1.66 million light-duty trucks were sold, decreasing by 240,000 units from 1.9 million units in 2013, a full-year 12.9% drop. We predict that this rate will rise in 2015. In China, more than 4-ton vehicles use high pressure common rail SCR while less than 4-ton models take high pressure common rail EGR. However, China now lacks special gas stations that can fill urea and will not have. The operating costs of trucks are extremely high and truck owners can only get low profits, thus forcing them into bringing down costs. Hence, they are reluctant to fill urea. Meanwhile, out of a motive of environmental protection, very few trucker owners choose to buy the national IV standard vehicles. The upstream sectors of automotive exhaust system, substrate and catalyst in particular, are the most profitable. In terms of substrate, the combined market share of the top 3 global enterprisesNGK, Corning, and Ibiden exceeded 96%. NGK and Corning viewed China as the most important market, especially Corning, which achieved a nearly 20% growth in 2014. Ibiden thoroughly focused on the European and American markets and scored poor performance in China, thereby leading its revenue to continuously decline. With regard to catalyst, the market size of automotive catalyst reached as much as USD11.7 billion in 2014, up 8.0% from 2013. The total market share of the top three manufacturers exceeded 80%, with the competition mainly concentrated in China. The top three playersBASF, Johnson Matthey, and Umicore successively extended their presence into mainland China. Umicore, once lagged behind, doubled its capacity in 2014 and will very likely achieve good performance in 2015.

Research and Markets (http://www.researchandmarkets.com/research/7q572m/market_survey_on) has announced the addition of the "Market Survey on Plastic Automotive Parts Industry in China 2015" report to their offering. Plastic automotive parts generally refer to all plastic parts and components of an automobile except for the frame, and are generally known as plastic parts of automobiles. Plastic is widely used in automobiles. Commonly, plastic parts of a complete automobile can be classified as interior parts, exterior parts and functional structural parts based on their functions. As the automotive industry develops and technologies advance, plastic parts have been replacing partial metallic parts and exhibiting a fast development trend in recent years, particularly in the current situation where environmental protection and energy-saving are deeply rooted in people's heart, while to make lighter and more energy-saving automobiles becomes an orientation of developing complete automobiles in future. As plastic features broad design space, low manufacturing cost, light weight, wide application, diversified functions and excellent performance, it can be used to achieve new breakthroughs in aspects of lightening body weight, promoting safety and reducing manufacturing costs of automobiles. Therefore, in the automotive industry of the new century, particularly in selection of materials for new energy automobiles, plastic plays an increasingly significant role. The plastic automotive parts industry is largely dependent on the automotive industry. With continuous and fast development of the automotive market and an increasing inventory of automobiles in China, there is also an increasing demand for plastic parts in the market. Presently the demand for plastic automotive parts in the China market is growing positively. In aspect of supply, plastic automotive parts enterprises can basically satisfy the needs in the domestic OEM and after-sales service markets.

Strategic Analysis Of Passenger Car Energy Recovery Systems Market 2014-2019: Passenger Car Type, Region, Regenerative Braking, Waste Heat Recovery System & By KERS
M2 - Thu Feb 05, 3:57AM CST
Research and Markets (http://www.researchandmarkets.com/research/2q3zws/strategic) has announced the addition of the "Strategic Analysis Of Passenger Car Energy Recovery Systems Market By Passenger Car Type, By Region, By Regenerative Braking, By Waste Heat Recovery System & By KERS - Global Trends and forecast to 2019" report to their offering. The market is dominated by players such as Robert Bosch GmBH (Germany), Continental AG (Germany), Denso Corporation (Japan), and Faurecia (France). In 2013, Robert Bosch GmBH held the leading position in the market. An automotive energy recovery system is a system that harnesses the energy created by various functions of an automobile instead of letting it dissipate. This energy is then transformed and stored for immediate or later use. The recovered energy can be used to provide additional power to the engine or for the functioning of the vehicles' axillaries. The usage of the energy recovery systems in the current-generation automobile can be directly linked to the reduction of greenhouse gases (GHGs) and the optimization of the vehicle's powertrain. Regenerative Braking systems are devices that reduce the vehicle speed by converting a part of the kinetic energy into electrical energy. The energy captured through regenerative braking can be stored in any of the three following devices: an electrochemical battery, a flywheel or a regenerative fuel cell. Regenerative braking brings into use, the principal of an electric motor acting as a generator. It re-uses kinetic energy by using its electric motor to regenerate electricity. Kinetic energy recovery system is an automotive system for recovering a moving vehicle's kinetic energy when brakes are applied. The recovered energy is stored in a reservoir (a flywheel, battery, or a super capacitor) to be used later when the vehicle is under acceleration. Electrical systems use a motor-generator installed in the vehicle's transmission system, which converts mechanical energy into electrical charge. Once the energy has been harnessed, it is stored in a battery and used when required. Exhaust waste heat recovery systems are mainly used to convert the heat extracted from hot exhaust gases into electrical power. An average automobile converts only about a quarter of its fuel energy content into useful power so as to move the vehicle. The remaining energy is consumed by a variety of irreversible losses dominated by waste heat dissipation through the radiator and engine exhaust. This system converts this heat extracted from hot exhaust gases into electrical power, which can then be used to power the electrical systems in the vehicle or recharge the battery. The factors driving the growth of the market for the automotive energy recovery systems are an increase in fuel efficiency provided by these systems, improvement in vehicle performance, and lesser CO2 emissions by the vehicle. However, high cost of the system and its low adoption rates due to lack of awareness in the market are the key factors restraining the growth. In this report, the automotive energy recovery systems market covers the market for regenerative braking systems, exhaust heat waste recovery systems, and kinetic energy recovery systems in terms of regions such as Asia-Oceania, North America, Europe, and the Rest of the World ;and in terms of passenger car types such as electric vehicles, plug-in hybrid vehicles, and hybrid vehicles.

Automotive Emissions Control Markets: 2015 Technologies and Trends
M2 - Mon Mar 30, 11:17AM CDT
Research and Markets (http://www.researchandmarkets.com/research/675675/automotive) has announced the addition of the "Automotive Emissions Control: Technologies and Trends " report to their offering. Although huge progress has been achieved in the reduction of toxic, criterion' emissions from automotive exhausts during the last few decades, regulations continue to be drafted that not only set ever tighter standards, but also include more substances. Emissions from transportation have been associated with a range of health problems that affect a substantial number of people as well as with environmental concerns including the formation of acid rain and ecosystem damage. Alongside this, the automotive industry is being challenged to reduce greenhouse gas emissions, particularly carbon dioxide, which is directly related to fossil fuel consumption. However, criterion emissions including nitrogen oxides, methane, ozone and even particle matter are also implicated in climate change. Furthermore, because of concerns regarding the environmental and economic consequences that climate change could bring, the US Clean Air Act states that greenhouse gases endanger public health and public welfare. As a result, the two categories of automotive emissions - criterion and greenhouse gas - which were previously regarded as two separate fields of concern with two almost completely separate arsenals of technology now overlap to the degree that they comprise one broad technology sector. Furthermore, the laboratory test procedures used to measure criterion emissions and fuel economy are now under the spotlight because they differ in different jurisdictions and because of growing concern that they do not reflect emissions generated in real world' driving. Consequently, efforts are now underway to develop a set of harmonised, global test procedures that better approximate actual on-road use. Light vehicle emissions control: Technologies and trends examines the regulatory and other drivers of the current efforts to reduce automotive emissions as well as the barriers that exist to the implementation of new and existing technologies. As ever, cost is a central issue with automotive manufacturers concerned about the market effects of passing on costs to consumers while government agencies tend to emphasise the fuel cost savings that consumers will enjoy through using a more fuel-efficient vehicle. The current and forthcoming regulations in all major jurisdictions are presented in detail and the progress that is being made towards harmonisation and developing real driving' test protocols are outlined. The market dynamics of the sector are discussed along with forecasting data presented by several analysts and stakeholders in the sector. Then, drawing on a substantial resource of investigative research and papers from recent conferences on automotive emissions reduction, attention is turned to the many technologies that are employed and those that are being developed to better control and reduce automotive emissions. These fall under the main section headings of: - Exhaust after-treatment - Powertrain efficiency - Weight reduction - Drag and friction reduction - Other fuel efficiency technologies - Reducing internal combustion engine use - Alternative fuels Key Topics Covered: Chapter 1: Introduction Chapter 2: Market drivers - Health concerns - Criterion emissions regulations - Fuel economy and CO2 emissions regulations - Energy security - Incentives and taxes - Consumer preferences Chapter 3: Market challenges - Closing the gaps - Fuel Quality Chapter 4: Market dynamics and forecasts - Global vehicle production - Light vehicle engine fuel type - Turbochargers - Stop-start technology - Catalysts and platinum group metals - Electrically-powered ancillaries Chapter 5: Technology developments - Exhaust after-treatment - Internal combustion engine efficiency - Drivetrain technologies - Weight reduction - Drag and friction reduction Chapter 6: Profiles - Arcelor Mittal - BASF - Borgwarner - Bosch - Continental - Corning - Delphi - Denso - Eaton - Eberspacher - Faurecia - Honeywell - IAV - Johnson Matthey - Schaeffler - Tenneco - Umicore - Valeo - Visteon - ZF Friedrichshafen For more information visit http://www.researchandmarkets.com/research/675675/automotive

China Three-way Catalytic Converter Industry Report 2015
M2 - Tue Mar 24, 8:55AM CDT
Research and Markets (http://www.researchandmarkets.com/research/7v3bdz/china_threeway) has announced the addition of the "China Three-way Catalytic Converter Industry Report, 2014" report to their offering. Three-way catalysis refers to the catalysis that converts harmful gases including CO, HC and NOx from automobile exhaust into harmless carbon dioxide, water and nitrogen via oxidization and reduction, mainly with a three-way catalytic converter, which is carried by a porous ceramic material and mounted on a special exhaust pipe. The reason it is called carrier is that it itself does not participate in catalytic reaction, but is covered with a layer of platinum, rhodium, palladium and other precious metals, and is the most important purification device outside the machine installed in an automobile exhaust system. Chinese three-way catalytic converters for passenger cars are mainly divided into two parts, i.e. new demand and replacement demand. From the measured historical data, 2014 is the milestone year for three-way catalytic converter demand. Prior to that, the new demand, influenced by a large base of new cars and still not a replacement tide for three-way catalytic converter, had been significantly higher than the replacement demand, e.g. 17.93 million and 15 million respectively in 2013. However, the replacement demand (20.02 million) exceeded the new demand (19.92 million) in 2014. In the future, with a slowdown in domestic automobile production and sales and the arrival of peak demand for replacing automotive three-way catalytic converters, China's three-way catalytic converter and industry chain parts will be beneficiaries. With regard to catalyst, 26.41 million liters were needed by passenger cars in 2014, of which, over 80% were provided by foreign companies and the remaining 20% by domestic Chinese peers. According to China Internal Combustion Engine Industry Association, as of 2013, all catalysts for joint-venture passenger cars were made by foreign companies, and even for independent brand passenger cars, only 55% of catalysts thereof came from domestic companies. As far as catalyst encapsulation is concerned, the main market is still dominated by foreign-funded or joint-venture enterprises represented by Faurecia and Tenneco which mainly occupy the middle and high-end market and support joint-venture vehicle manufacturers. Wuxi Weifu Lida Catalytic Converter Co., Ltd., a large-scale domestic manufacturer of automobile exhaust purifier, mainly supports self-owned brands. The report highlights the followings: - Overview of three-way catalytic converter, including definition, structure, industry policies, etc. - Global three-way catalytic converter market demand, including global automobile production and sales, demand estimation, etc. - China's three-way catalytic converter market demand, consisting of the development status, competition pattern, market demand, etc. of China's automobile industry; 18 manufacturers in three-way catalytic converter industry chain involving their revenue, net income, revenue structure, production base, catalyst business.

Global and China Automotive Exhaust System Industry Report 2014-2015
M2 - Tue Mar 24, 7:56AM CDT
Research and Markets (http://www.researchandmarkets.com/research/z4bh7r/global_and_china) has announced the addition of the "Global and China Automotive Exhaust System Industry Report, 2014-2015" report to their offering. In 2009, the average price for the exhaust system of each gasoline engine-powered vehicle reached approximately USD250. However, as the environmental protection policies became increasingly strict, this figure climbed to USD280 in 2014. Comparatively, the exhaust system of diesel engine-powered vehicles was much more expensive, with the price for each unit totaling USD350 in 2009 and USD530 in 2014. In September 2014, the Euro 6B standard for light-duty vehicles officially came into force, which, combined with a sharp rise in vehicle sales volume in the United States and China, helped prompt the global auto exhaust system market to increase by 3.2% to USD33.1 billion, which was a little faster than 2.3% in 2013. In 2017, Europe will begin to put Euro 6C standard into effect while China may implement Euro 6A standard for gasoline vehicles. It is expected, therefore, that by 2016 the automotive exhaust system market will expand significantly by 7%. However, it is very likely that only a small number of new standards would go into effect in 2015, and China's high-speed growth will become a past. Thus, we project that the market size of global automotive exhaust system will rise 2.1%. China's diesel engine-driven vehicle exhaust system market may continue to be disappointing. As early as May 2005, the Chinese government announced the national IV standard would come into effect on January 1, 2011, which was delayed for 5 times. It was on January 1, 2015 that the standard was put into effect. But in 2015, with China's economic downturn and declined commercial vehicle sales volume, the competition from commercial vehicles boils down to price competition. The national IV standard will be not implemented at all and therefore most vehicles will still take national III standard. In 2014, the sales volume of trucks in China totaled 3.18 million units in 2014, down 8.9% year on year. Among them, affected by the factors including the increased costs caused by the national IV standard and the automakers' inadequate production, only 1.66 million light-duty trucks were sold, decreasing by 240,000 units from 1.9 million units in 2013, a full-year 12.9% drop. We predict that this rate will rise in 2015. In China, more than 4-ton vehicles use high pressure common rail SCR while less than 4-ton models take high pressure common rail EGR. However, China now lacks special gas stations that can fill urea and will not have. The operating costs of trucks are extremely high and truck owners can only get low profits, thus forcing them into bringing down costs. Hence, they are reluctant to fill urea. Meanwhile, out of a motive of environmental protection, very few trucker owners choose to buy the national IV standard vehicles. The upstream sectors of automotive exhaust system, substrate and catalyst in particular, are the most profitable. In terms of substrate, the combined market share of the top 3 global enterprisesNGK, Corning, and Ibiden exceeded 96%. NGK and Corning viewed China as the most important market, especially Corning, which achieved a nearly 20% growth in 2014. Ibiden thoroughly focused on the European and American markets and scored poor performance in China, thereby leading its revenue to continuously decline. With regard to catalyst, the market size of automotive catalyst reached as much as USD11.7 billion in 2014, up 8.0% from 2013. The total market share of the top three manufacturers exceeded 80%, with the competition mainly concentrated in China. The top three playersBASF, Johnson Matthey, and Umicore successively extended their presence into mainland China. Umicore, once lagged behind, doubled its capacity in 2014 and will very likely achieve good performance in 2015.

Strategic Analysis Of Passenger Car Energy Recovery Systems Market 2014-2019: Passenger Car Type, Region, Regenerative Braking, Waste Heat Recovery System & By KERS
M2 - Thu Feb 05, 3:57AM CST
Research and Markets (http://www.researchandmarkets.com/research/2q3zws/strategic) has announced the addition of the "Strategic Analysis Of Passenger Car Energy Recovery Systems Market By Passenger Car Type, By Region, By Regenerative Braking, By Waste Heat Recovery System & By KERS - Global Trends and forecast to 2019" report to their offering. The market is dominated by players such as Robert Bosch GmBH (Germany), Continental AG (Germany), Denso Corporation (Japan), and Faurecia (France). In 2013, Robert Bosch GmBH held the leading position in the market. An automotive energy recovery system is a system that harnesses the energy created by various functions of an automobile instead of letting it dissipate. This energy is then transformed and stored for immediate or later use. The recovered energy can be used to provide additional power to the engine or for the functioning of the vehicles' axillaries. The usage of the energy recovery systems in the current-generation automobile can be directly linked to the reduction of greenhouse gases (GHGs) and the optimization of the vehicle's powertrain. Regenerative Braking systems are devices that reduce the vehicle speed by converting a part of the kinetic energy into electrical energy. The energy captured through regenerative braking can be stored in any of the three following devices: an electrochemical battery, a flywheel or a regenerative fuel cell. Regenerative braking brings into use, the principal of an electric motor acting as a generator. It re-uses kinetic energy by using its electric motor to regenerate electricity. Kinetic energy recovery system is an automotive system for recovering a moving vehicle's kinetic energy when brakes are applied. The recovered energy is stored in a reservoir (a flywheel, battery, or a super capacitor) to be used later when the vehicle is under acceleration. Electrical systems use a motor-generator installed in the vehicle's transmission system, which converts mechanical energy into electrical charge. Once the energy has been harnessed, it is stored in a battery and used when required. Exhaust waste heat recovery systems are mainly used to convert the heat extracted from hot exhaust gases into electrical power. An average automobile converts only about a quarter of its fuel energy content into useful power so as to move the vehicle. The remaining energy is consumed by a variety of irreversible losses dominated by waste heat dissipation through the radiator and engine exhaust. This system converts this heat extracted from hot exhaust gases into electrical power, which can then be used to power the electrical systems in the vehicle or recharge the battery. The factors driving the growth of the market for the automotive energy recovery systems are an increase in fuel efficiency provided by these systems, improvement in vehicle performance, and lesser CO2 emissions by the vehicle. However, high cost of the system and its low adoption rates due to lack of awareness in the market are the key factors restraining the growth. In this report, the automotive energy recovery systems market covers the market for regenerative braking systems, exhaust heat waste recovery systems, and kinetic energy recovery systems in terms of regions such as Asia-Oceania, North America, Europe, and the Rest of the World ;and in terms of passenger car types such as electric vehicles, plug-in hybrid vehicles, and hybrid vehicles.
