The electrical/electronics content in the average vehicle will increase from 22% of total value now to 35% in the next 10 to 15 years.

China is now well-positioned to be the second largest market for automobiles.

Emissions of greenhouse gases, mainly CO2, will go right through the ceiling in the next 20 years, unless we dramatically reduced energy consumption.

The U.S. Department of Energy selected five next-generation vehicle research projects to receive as much as $19.2 million for development of plug-in hybrid electric vehicles (PHEVs), hybrid electric vehicles (HEVs), and fuel-cell vehicles (FCVs).

This article provides a market overview of the global automotive industry.

CO2 solutions: What suppliers say will help reduce CO2 emissions * Fuel injection systems for diesel and gasoline engines * Exhaust after-treatment systems * Turbochargers * Reduced-diameter electrical cables; alternative metals, such as aluminum instead of copper, in cables * Electric steering * Hybrid powertrains * Vehicle energy management components, such as power electronics and energy storage units
