Abstract
This Intelligence Set includes the latest edition of the automotive turbochargers and superchargers report, plus manufacturer profiles for BorgWarner, Cummins, Eaton, and Honeywell.
Each profile is approximately 25 to 27 pages, and includes a brief outline of business activity, financial statistics, customers and more. They will allow you to discover where the market is heading, what the latest innovations are, and how your competitors are performing.
This latest edition of just-auto' s Global market review of automotive turbochargers and superchargers - forecasts to 2014 marks something of a watershed. It' s the first report from just-auto that has reached its fifth edition. This takes off from the last edition and provides an in-depth technical review of turbocharger technology, just-auto' s proprietary forecasts and analysis of the world' s major markets and a review of the main supplier companies.
North America, Europe and Japan car sales currently account for around 33.4m passenger cars and light vehicles a year.
Of this total, diesel sales account for around 10m units, all of which utilise turbocharger technology but the prospects for growth are there. The US is experiencing a severe rise in fuel prices which is causing the consumer to think about the fuel consumption figures of his or her vehicle for the first time. The hybrids have proved to be popular, especially on the East and West coasts; but to put them into perspective, their sales are still less than 2% of the total. North America has a very large engine infrastructure for gasoline, but diesels do look set to grow maybe taking around 15-20% of the market.
In Europe, diesel-powered cars, the majority of which are turbocharged, continued their market domination, accounting for 53.3% of total new car registrations in Western Europe in 2007, up from 13.8% in 1990.
Of the emerging markets, China looks to set the agenda with total annual turbo sales forecasted to be nearly 8.1m units this year and increasing 20% year-on-year for the next five years.
India is a currently small but fast-expanding market with passenger car and light-truck sales this year forecast to be 1.1m sales, 75% of which will be small cars and it is in this segment that is on the verge of experiencing a boom in diesel sales.
"As you look around the world there are increasingly stringent fuel economy and emissions requirements that the manufacturers have to meet with their new cars," says Alex Ismail of Honeywell Turbo Technologies, "so the way the turbocharger should be seen is not as a component but as a legislative gain.
"The vehiclemakers are resorting to downsizing their engines but at the same time they need to cope with the increasing weight of the vehicle due to their safety requirements, increased passenger refinement and the onboard electronics. The typical scenario is one where the driver wants to be more environmentally friendly but not at the expense of refinement, performance and overall drivability. The only way the auto manufacturers can deal with that is to have a turbocharger at the centre of the engine which is why you see them becoming such critical devices as they help solve this complex equation."
