Vehicle manufacturers are looking at lighting solutions to create an identity for their brands. The LED lighting technology brings more flexibility to design front and rear lighting systems. Demand for these systems is increasing because of the LED solution and the growing awareness among consumers regarding the importance of adaptive lighting solu...

Despite a slow start, electric power steering (EPS) has been successful in North America. Now, OEMs are interested in shifting from electro-hydraulic power steering (EHPS) and hydraulic power steering (HPS) systems to EPS systems, especially to meet consumer demand for enhanced fuel economy, improved safety, and comfort. This study is based on seco...

Original equipment manufacturers (OEMs) across Europe are working towards providing improved safety and comfort to consumers through various technologies. Electric power steering (EPS) has been a success since its introduction in developed markets and is gaining preference in emerging markets. European consumers in higher segments are increasingly ...

Despite being the largest automotive market in the world, the ADAS market is in its nascent stage in China with most major ADAS technologies attracting less than 10% penetration rates in the market. However, the future looks positive with clear market potential with the regional ADAS market expected to grow six fold in revenue by 2020. Vehicle safe...

With increased fuel prices and dynamic consumer needs, the market for all-wheel drive (AWD) systems for passenger vehicles is challenged on various fronts. To counteract market challenges, regional original equipment manufacturers (OEMs) adopt various strategies regarding their driveline portfolios for specific vehicle segments. This research servi...

Vehicle safety and driver comfort attract tremendous interest within the automotive industry, with legislations to touch every aspect of safety from avoiding collisions to pedestrian security. Given that autonomous driving is a real possibility, ADAS is expected to take centre-stage for chassis and safety systems in an automobile. This will channel...

The automotive industry is currently focusing on sensor and vision-based solutions capable of minimising errors caused through driver input in speed zones. Current technologies are confined to premium segments, mainly due to cost effectiveness and public acceptance. But with the onset of legislative measures mandating some of the ADAS applications,...

Electronic braking technology is on verge of eliminating vacuum boosters in an effort to improve the overall vehicle efficiency and braking performance. The current trend of electronically modulating mechanical system, vacuumless braking will be the next step towards bridging the gap between braking technology used on non EVs and fully electric veh...

The aim of this study is to research, analyse, and forecast the tyre pressure monitoring systems (TPMS) market in Europe and gauge the impact of emerging technologies in direct, indirect, and hybrid TPMS. A consistent level of technology mix of both direct and indirect systems is expected from 2012 to 2020. The trend is predicted to shift towards i...
