Abstract
This Intelligence Set includes the fourth edition of the door modules report, along with profiles of Dura, Delphi, Faurecia, ArvinMeritor, Brose, Magna, Wagon and Grupo Antolin
It offers excellent value for money and will allow you to discover where the market is heading, what the latest innovations are, and how your competitors are performing.
It may not look like it, but the door is one of the most complex systems on a vehicle. It must look good, incorporate crash stability and, above all, be fit for the purpose, typically opening and closing more than 50,000 times during the vehicle' s life.
And with vehiclemakers increasingly outsourcing their requirements for larger complex modules and systems, including doors, we have seen a trend toward modularisation. This could be the result of a number of factors, including the cost savings achieved as a result of taking advantage of an outside supplier' s lower variable costs, the increased sophistication and capability of interior suppliers in programme management and logistics and product styling. There is also a health and safety advantage since assembly-line workers no longer need to reach through sheet metal to route all the cables.
In the fourth edition of just-auto' s door modules report we review the key market drivers for door modules, and update the market analysis. We provide top level market fitment, volume and value forecasts through 2013, along with two exclusive Q&As with senior executives from ArvinMeritor and Magna Closures, providing unique and timely insight into the European and North American door module markets.
The technical review sets out recent innovations in this arena, and we also include profiles of the major manufactures, namely ArvinMeritor, Brose, Dura Automotive Faurecia, Grupo Antolin, Kuester, Magna Closures and Wagon.
