Abstract
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.
