Abstract
This Intelligence Set includes our latest edition of the automotive cooling systems report, along with profiles of Behr, Calsonic, Delphi, Denso, Modine, Valeo and Visteon.
It offers excellent value for money and will allow you to discover where the market is heading, what the latest innovations are, and how your competitors are performing.
Innovations in the engine cooling systems arena are clearly influenced by the introduction of stricter standards on emissions, the requirement for reduced fuel consumption and new regulations on pedestrian impact for front-ends.
"In addition to cost reduction pressures and engine downsizing," said Dr Uwe Krueger, vice president, product and process development, engine cooling, North America, Behr Group, in an exclusive interview with just-auto, "new emission regulations are forcing us to make changes to the product and technology. There is also a trend for more compact engine cooling modules in order to solve the space constraints under the hood. On the one hand, there is pressure to introduce new technologies in order to meet the cleaner emissions yet on the other side the cost pressure is still there. We must achieve both. Our customers want the best performance for the lowest price."
Our brand new, fourth edition of the engine cooling systems report reviews the key market drivers for vehicle engine cooling systems, and updates the market analysis. We review the technical advances in engine cooling systems, and take a look at what we can expect to see in tomorrow' s cars.
Chapter two provides volume and value forecasts to 2013 by major car-producing region and we also include commentary on emerging markets, from Brazil to Turkey.
Brief profiles of the main manufacturers are included, plus an analysis of major market players, such as Behr, Delphi and Valeo is provided.
