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.
It may not look like it, but the door is one of the most complex systems on a
vehicle. It must look good, incorporate crash stability and, above all, be fit
for the purpose, typically opening and closing more than 50,000 times during
the vehicle' s life.
And with vehiclemakers increasingly outsourcing their requirements for larger
complex modules and systems, including doors, we have seen a trend toward
modularisation. This could be the result of a number of factors, including the
cost savings achieved as a result of taking advantage of an outside supplier' s
lower variable costs, the increased sophistication and capability of interior
suppliers in programme management and logistics and product styling. There is
also a health and safety advantage since assembly-line workers no longer need
to reach through sheet metal to route all the cables.
In the fourth edition of just-auto' s door modules report we review the key
market drivers for door modules, and update the market analysis. We provide
top level market fitment, volume and value forecasts through 2013, along with
two exclusive Q&As with senior executives from ArvinMeritor and Magna
Closures, providing unique and timely insight into the European and North
American door module markets.
The technical review sets out recent innovations in this arena, and we also
include profiles of the major manufactures, namely ArvinMeritor, Brose, Dura
Automotive Faurecia, Grupo Antolin, Kuester, Magna Closures and Wagon.
