Abstract
This Intelligence Set includes the 2009 edition of the door modules report,
plus manufacturer profiles for Dura, Delphi, Faurecia, ArvinMeritor, Brose,
Magna, Wagon, Grupo Antoli.
Each profile is between 15 to 30 pages long, and includes a brief outline of
business activity, financial statistics, customers and more. They will allow
you to discover where the market is heading, what the latest innovations are,
and how your competitors are performing.
Car doors are becoming slimmer to provide more cabin space. This trend has
caused a substantial increase in demand for smaller and lighter power window
motors. In fact, space limitations inside the door make narrow drive units
imperative. As new cars are increasingly fitted with remote control, automatic
operation and other value-added power window functions, more cars require
anti-pinch protection systems. This means that there is a growing trend for
smart motors with built-in circuit controls.
In this, the fifth edition of this report, just-auto reviews the key market
drivers for door modules, and updates the market analysis.
Following our market overview in Chapter 1, just-auto' s product fitment
forecasts in Chapter 2 predict the market for door module cassettes fitted to
passenger cars assembled in North America, Western Europe and Japan from 2005
through to 2016. Data includes percentage fitment rates by region, market
volumes and values by region with actual/likely-, best- and worst-case
scenarios - all trended through the historic and forecasted years mentioned.
Also included in chapter 2 are 2008 percentage market shares for Europe, North
America and the world. And summary profiles of the major suppliers and their
recent activities are provided.
Chapter 3 reviews the technical advances in door systems, defining the parts
that make up the system as well as what we can expect to see in tomorrow' s
cars.
Extracts:
Continental is using BASF' s Ultradur S4090 G4 LS High Speed material for a
door control device in the Audi A4 and A5. The move marks the first serial
automotive electronics application for the 20% glass reinforced PBT/ASA
(polybutylene terephthalate acrlonitrile-styrene-acrylate) copolymer blend.
The door control device is located inside the doors and is connected to the
central electronic unit through the vehicle' s electrical system. The device is
responsible for opening and closing doors and windows and it controls safety
functions such as the squeeze protection and other electronic modules located
inside the doors.
Faurecia has developed a pre-crash vehicle safety system, as part of its
APROSYS (Advanced PROtection SYStems) project. The system is able to predict
an on-coming collision and activate a side-impact protection system that can
reduce the risk of injury. The pre-crash sensor system is integrated into the
vehicle body. This is able to predict a collision a split-second before impact
and decide whether or not to activate the safety system.
Chapter 4 sets out profiles of the major manufacturers, namely ArvinMeritor,
Brose, Dura, Faurecia, Grupo Antolin, Kuester, Magna Closures and Wagon.
