Automotive Electrical And Electronic Industry Development Trend Forecast - Auto Parts, Auto Electric

1, Electronic Content is becoming saturated, according to some Car Manufacturers estimate that the average non-hybrid vehicles Electric , Electronic components and software costs no more, it is likely to remain in the vehicle cost 20% to 25%. Therefore, these components can only rely on the global market growth in the number of vehicles increase, coupled with light vehicles, the average retail price increase, assuming that the vehicle can be converted to electricity prices and cost estimates of electronic components. However, the growth of electrical and electronic content will also be in non-electronic materials and rising costs, such as Tata Motors Nano ultra-economy car 2,500 U.S. dollars had been suppressed by a large popular these days, we found this very important trend, and in about 3 years ago began to explain.



2, software key competitive advantage of automotive vehicle system software as the most important factor is booming, one in the engine controller, the software content doubles every year. Therefore, car manufacturers and has the best architecture and best integrated software development Tool Chain of suppliers will gain a competitive advantage. Can do a good job of software development engineers can use fewer features to new and improved products to market and maintain the warranty and low cost.



3, automotive open system architecture of Although most of the world automobile manufacturers are gradually adopt open system standards for cars, but still needs at least 10 years, will make enough vehicles to implement the standards in the global market have a significant impact.



But so far, automotive electronics industry through all the technical standards, do not be like the car as an open system architecture standards have greatly affected. Software architecture standard will significantly reduce system costs and improve its quality.



Car manufacturers to prove, automotive open system architecture standards in multi-platform software and re-use a variety of vehicles. A suitable software application each time a new application and use of time will be no need to re-design and customization, which will save development time and a lot of money. Each basic automotive open system architecture will make it the cornerstone of the commercialization of software, will be electronic hardware, including some of the operating system micro-controller. Relatively open system architecture standard auto, software was sold separately from hardware.



4, open platform will erode large automotive infotainment systems market.

There are three different paths open infotainment systems: Microsoft's automatic vehicle; BMW, GM and PSA is to promote the Genivi Union; and the Audi is developing a third way. What are the three programs and drive drive drive drive the car the same open systems architecture standards: the opportunity to significantly reduce costs and improve software quality. Instead of relying on vertically integrated provider of information across the entire custom entertainment systems, car manufacturers and system integrators will be able to buy various sources, the design of their applications to meet the best standard platform software component class.



5, fuel economy is better than security

Road deaths in the world each year over a million people, so the use of advanced active safety system development, subject to a lot of attention and the amount of investment. Self-steering or braking system to automatically avoid accidents particularly optimistic, driver monitoring system is also promising. However, with the Oil Price inflation, and inhibition of carbon dioxide emissions from road difficult task, fuel efficiency has become the main attack industry challenges. The increase in dual-clutch transmission, and many lean and turbocharged gasoline direct injection engine, shut down the engine when the vehicle stationary, vehicle acceleration, and immediately restarted.

Confirmed: Datsun making a comeback.

Perhaps in an effort to combat Toyota's Scion brand, Nissan has confirmed that the Datsun nameplate will join with Nissan and Infiniti in 2014. Currently, the U.S. has not been named as one of the countries where Datsun will make its comeback. Russia, India, and Indonesia are slated as the three launch countries. I won't count out the U.S. though. There would be a huge market for a Nissan sub brand to go after the youthful market. Can we see a possible Datsun 510 or 610 in the near future? I hope so!

"Nissan is bringing new jobs and new vehicles to Indonesia," said Ghosn. "We are going to expand our production capability and offer a new and exciting product line here."

The new plan announced today will make Nissan's Cikampek site, located 80 kilometers outside of Jakarta, one of the largest production facilities in the ASEAN region for Nissan.

In 2011, 890,000 vehicles were sold in Indonesia, for the first time making the nation ASEAN's largest car market. Nissan is in line to achieve its sales objectives of 60,000 units for fiscal year 2011. Indonesia total industry volume is estimated to increase nearly double by 2017 compared to 2010, largely driven by the introduction of the Green Car program now being drafted by the Indonesian government.

2011 Great Race highlights

The 2011 Great Race may be one of the wildest vintage car events that exist today. It's vintage cars taking part in a cross country endurance rally. Each year over 100 cars participate. Check out this fantastic highlight reel from 2011.

What do yachts, polo, and dancing have to do with Cadillacs?

Everything. If you were around in the 1980s, then you surely must remember seeing these commercials for Cadillac at the time. They used every symbol of the upper class they could find and put them in the commercials. Yachts, shooting, aerobic dancing, polo, and horse back riding. It was all there! Even a Fleetwood Brougham pulling a dual axle horse trailer. It was a great time for car commercials and a great time for automotive jingles. Now all we get are remixed pop songs. The only way to travel, truly was Cadillac Style!

Old Nascars rock!

Kind of like the saying that some things get meaner as they get older. Vintage Nascars were much cooler than their counterparts of today. Take a look at this photo from the fine folks over at Hemmings Motor News. This shot taken in 1956 at the Holman-Moody shop in Charlotte, NC. This shows the then new, and essentially stock 1956 Fords campaigned that year. Two sedans and two convertibles. This was when stock car racing was really exciting since you could go and buy the same cars you saw tearing up the tracks. Things were so much simpler then.

The Car Show on Speed: Canceled

This one is a little hard to swallow. If you're a die hard car guy like me, then you undoubtedly tuned in for The Car Show. It has come to my attention that the show has been canceled after one season. Speed channel's answer to Top Gear, The Car Show was hosted by all around car guy Adam Carolla, auto journalist Dan Neil, friend to AAM and Smoking Tire.com founder Matt Farrah, and at one time former NBA star John Salley, The Car Show was a practically perfect mix to be a true U.S. version of Top Gear. It was almost a perfect storm for everything to work against the show. It was on Speed, but didn't focus on Nascar, circle track, or drag racing, but instead focused on cars and car guys. Then there was the removal of John Salley from the hosting team. Which I can understand, you could tell he was really out of his element. Salley may have liked car, but he seemed like a small fish swimming in shark infested waters with the die hards of Carolla, Farrah, and Neil. Another big blow was the steady schedule changing. Speed changed the format of the show and took it from an hour and cut it down to a half hour show. The Discovery Channel reformatted their HD Theater channel and turned it into Velocity which is another network that is catered to car guys. There's some other non car shows on the network, but the car shows they have cater to the true automobile enthusiast. I know that I'm really upset to see The Car Show canceled, and I don't normally voice my displeasure unless it's absolutely necessary, so I voiced my opinion to Speed via their feedback page, and I would highly, highly recommend that you do to if you are a fan of The Car Show. Let the folks over at Speed KNOW what kind of shows you want to see.
