Abstract
An exhaust system has two purposes. On the one hand, it reduces noise by means of a silencing system, and on the other hand, it reduces the pollutants contained in exhaust gases by means of catalytic converters.
As each new emissions regulation swings into force, more and more content is being added to the exhaust in order to comply. Manufacturers believe that the emissions control content per light vehicle will rise over the next few years, a result of introducing multiple catalytic converters per vehicle, heat exchangers and particulate filters.
In our fourth edition of the vehicle exhaust systems report we review the key market drivers, and investigate the latest trends and technologies. The report also takes a look at the emerging markets, (China, India, Lithuania, Poland, Romania, Russia and Turkey), provides market share data for selected regions, and offers a number of exclusive interviews with manufacturers.
