This Intelligence Set includes the latest edition of the fuel injection systems report, along with profiles of Bosch, Continental, Delphi and Denso.

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.

Fuel-injection systems squirt atomised fuel into the cylinders of an internal combustion engine. They use a series of single- or multi-hole nozzle injectors to spray fuel into the combustion chamber. Direct-injection systems have been heralded as the panacea for fuel economy and emissions. Despite a rocky start, gasoline direct-injection (GDI) technology is starting to become popular given its potential 20% improvement in fuel economy and emissions, compared to conventional gasoline engines. Meanwhile, direct-injection and common-rail technology, which injects fuel directly into the combustion chamber at ultra-high pressure with electronic control, have boosted diesel’s performance. Common-rail technology has transformed the diesel engine’s noisy and dirty image.

In India and China, Bosch expects to see growth in common-rail systems. At present, just one-fifth of the company’s total production of high-pressure injection systems is for the markets in Asia and the Americas, but by 2015 this figure will be nearly 50%. The driving force behind this development is emission standards that can only be fulfilled with high-pressure injection systems.

Continental: "We think that, in the future, we will see more engines in the US with a combination of turbocharging and direct injection to implement the downsizing technology."

Delphi: "GDi will be its own success story in combination with turbocharging and similar technologies that diesel engines undertook. Combining fun-to-drive with excellent fuel economy is the path for the future. I look for all other gasoline technologies to be add-ons to this basic configuration."

In this, the fifth edition of this report, just-auto reviews the key market drivers for fuel-injection systems, and updates the market analysis.

Following chapter 1's introduction, chapter 2 provides an update of recent emmissions legislation, profiles the major suppliers, and has full length interviews with Continental and Delphi.

Ten market share charts show 2008 % shares of the major suppliers by region and split by direct injection and GDI production.

just-auto’s product fitment forecasts predict the market (by volume and value) worldwide (and by major car-producing region) for gasoline direct-injection systems from 2005 through to 2016.

Given the current state of the industry, just-auto has completely revised its estimates and forecasts of the fuel-injection market volumes for passenger car vehicle assembly in North America, Western Europe, Japan and China from 2005 through to 2016. Given the sheer volatility of the global economy at present, we have set out an ‘expected’, ‘best case’ and ‘worst case’ scenario applied to fuel-injection systems. On balance, we believe this will provide a more realistic framework for our component forecasts.

Chapter 3 sets out a review of recent innovations in this arena including all the latest innovations regarding fuel efficiency technology applied to fuel-injection systems. Extracts of our exclusive interview with Volkswagen are provided.

Rising oil prices spurred by rapidly rising energy demand in developing countries are pushing vehiclemakers to step up advances in fuel efficiency. In addition to the comments made in the report by executives at Continental and Delphi regarding HCCI, this section considers some recent advances being made by vehiclemakers to actively pursue technologies such as engine downsizing, turbocharging, direct injection, diesel and hybrids in order to improve fuel efficiency.

Chapter 4 provides profiles of the major manufacturers, namely Bosch, Continental, Delphi and Denso.
