Strategic Insights
Rollover
Warning and Control Devices For Heavy Commercial Vehicles:
About
3 per cent of all crashes on the American highways are caused due to
rollover, which is the cause of 13 per cent of all the fatal accidents
involving heavy vehicles. Hence, automakers face intense pressure from
consumers and highway traffic safety authorities to come up with rollover
prevention systems that enhance the rollover stability of heavy commercial
vehicles. These increasing safety concerns, Sandeep Kar writes, present a
sizeable market potential for related stability enhancement devices.

Using
Nanostructures for Cryogenic Storage of Hydrogen
To enable the hydrogen economy of the future, we need to find ways to
economically produce hydrogen as well as store it and use it. However, the
critical question is how we can store large quantities of hydrogen safely
and at the same time avoid adding extra weight to vehicles. The answer,
according to Emeryville, CA-based Nanomix, Inc., is cryogenic storage of
hydrogen using nanostructures.

Industry Forecasting Tools - Country Industry Forecast
The
European Union Automotive Industry
Revenue from motor vehicles and parts and
accessories contributed 95.6 per cent of the industry’s revenue in 2003.
Motor vehicles alone contributed 74.9 per cent of the industry revenue
in the European Union (EU). The EU expansion is expected to result in
considerable benefit to the automotive industry in terms of increase in
demand, and also as a production base for the automotive manufacturers.
This Country Industry Forecast service provides a detailed coverage of
political, policy and economic factors and the implications of these
trends on the European Union automotive industry. Click here to read more information Click here to e-mail us for more information

DECISION SUPPORT DATABASE - THE DECISION ENABLING SERVICE
Zoom Ahead with
Frost & Sullivan's Asia-Pacific Car Parc DSD Service
• Car parc
(number of cars on the road) depends upon car sales and average vehicle
life. In the Asia Pacific region, Japan registered the highest car parc
followed by South Korea. The longer the vehicle life, greater the
probability of the vehicle remaining in the system. Though Australia
ranked third in terms of car sales in the Asia Pacific region during
2003, the car parc was comparable to South Korea, since the vehicle life
in Australia is very high. Vehicle life of cars in Singapore was the
lowest.
• Frost & Sullivan's Asia Pacific Car Parc Decision Support
Database (DSD) service provides statistics on cars-in-use by year of
manufacture for the period 1981 to 2006. Car parc matrices can be
modelled to estimate the market potential for aftermarket components in
different regions/countries across the globe.
