Abstract
The number of instruments in vehicles has increased over the years as they
have become more complex and the instruments themselves have become cheaper.
The big increase has been in event-controlled indications, such as lights
which actuate to show warnings for indicators, low oil pressure and high
lighting beam.
Manufacturers report that, besides the traditional information available,
additional safety-related systems such as cameras and sensor-based messages
are becoming more relevant, recognised and valued by the end consumer. Given
that the area in front of the driver is limited, cockpit designers must
determine how the information should be broken down between a cluster
location, centre stack, head-up display and rear-view mirror.
Although there can be no doubt that drivers of the future will be better
informed with a raft of new instrumentation, there is some concern as to
whether their instrument panels will be a safe place to deliver the
information.
In this fifth-edition report, just-auto reviews the key market drivers for
vehicle instrumentation and cockpits, and updates the market analysis.
Following our market overview in Chapter 1, just-auto' s product fitment
forecasts in Chapter 2 The market, predict how the vehicle instrument cluster,
panel and cockpit market will evolve in Europe, Japan, China and North America
from 2006 through 2016. The data includes market volumes and values for these
regions/countries.
The chapter reviews the major OE suppliers and their latest activities in this
sector [Calsonic Kansei, Denso, Faurecia, International Automotive Components
(IAC), Inteva Products, Johnson Controls, Magna, and Visteon].
This chapter provides long and detailed Q&As with senior executives of Yazaki
North America, Johnson Controls, Visteon and 3M.
Also included are just-auto' s 2008 percentage market shares for assembled
cockpits and instrument panels in Europe and North America.
Chapter 3 Technical review
In 2009, Johnson Controls commenced supplying Ford with its so-called
SmartGauge with EcoGuide reconfigurable instrument cluster for the Ford Fusion
and Mercury Milan hybrid sedans. The instrument cluster offers four levels of
information which can be customised to suit the driver' s needs or situation.
Johnson Controls states: "The vehicle' s long-term fuel efficiency can be
displayed in two ways - either as a traditional chart or using an innovative
display that shows ' growing leaves and vines' on the right side of the
cluster. The more efficient a driver is, the more lush, green and beautiful
the leaves and vines, creating a visual reward for the individual' s efforts."
This chapter sets out a review of recent innovations in this arena.
Techologies reviewed include: head-up displays (HUDs), reconfigurable
displays, and consumer electronics (CE) device integration. The chapter
includes Q&As with Yazaki North America, and 3M.
Chapter 4 Manufacturers
This chapter provides provides profiles of the major manufacturers, namely
Calsonic Kansei, Denso, Faurecia, International Automotive Components, Inteva
Products, Magna International, Johnson Controls and Visteon.
