Automotive struts and shock absorbers: The primary purpose of shock absorbers is to control spring and suspension movement. A strut is a common damper type used in many of today's independent suspension, front wheel drive vehicles, and some rear wheel drive vehicles.The global automotive shocks and struts market is segmented based on applications, namely shock absorbers and struts. We have considered passenger cars for calculating the size of the automotive shocks and struts market.

Parking heaters are devices that preheat the automotive interiors and make driving comfortable for the driver and passengers.The system has remote accessibility and can be controlled using a timer or a smartphone app.In countries where winters are harsh, automotive parking heaters are used to maintain the temperature of the engines and interiors of the cars. This device warms the interior(including the engine) before the driver or a passenger gets inside the car. The user can activate parking heaters even from home with the help of timers, remote controls,or mobile phones.There are some car heaters that only warm the engine leaving the interiors cold.Parking heaters are not the same as regular car/cabin heaters. Once the engine is warm, heating the interior of the vehicle is not cumbersome. These devices start the engine using approximately a fifth of a liter of gas (depending on the car). They can be purchased by car owners and installed personally, inbuilt by the parent car company,or fitted by an aftermarket parts maker.

Every vehicle is equipped with a rearview mirror. Two rearview mirrors are positioned outside a vehicle, whereas a rearview mirror is positioned inside the vehicle where it is mounted on the front windshield of the vehicle. Most of the passenger cars are equipped with vanity mirrors, positioned at the sun visor,whereas vanity mirrors are not present in LCVs and M&HCVs. There is a growing trend where conventional mirrors are gradually getting replaced by auto-dimming mirrors and smart rearview mirrors.Based on position, the global automotive mirror system market is divided into two segments: interior automotive mirror system market and exterior automotive mirror system market.

Automotive leaf spring suspension is an arc-shaped spring steel mainly used in heavy commercial vehicles. It can be attached either at the rear or front of the vehicles to provide suspension.Based on application, the automotive leaf spring suspension market is segmented into LCVs, M&HCV trucks, and M&HCV buses.The automotive leaf spring suspension market is expected to grow at a CAGR of 4.53% during the forecast period. APAC is the biggest market for leaf spring suspension systems mainly due to the high penetration of these devices in the M&HCVs segment in countries such as China and India.

Intelligent tire technology consists of a feedback microchip which sends data about the road, weather, tire pressure, tire tread wear, and a host of other parameters to the vehicle's engine control unit (ECU). This data enables the ECU to automatically refine the vehicle’s longitudinal and lateral control algorithms to deliver an enhanced driving performance.The intelligent tire technology improves the overall performance of a car. This includes reducing the stopping distances when the anti-lock braking system (ABS)

kicks in. It also provides greater stability due to a more informed electronic stability control (ESC) system.

The automotive glass market comprises glasses used in windshields and in the side and rear windows of a vehicle. Laminated glass is used for the manufacturing of windshields whereas tempered glass is used for the manufacturing of side and rear windows.Based on application type, the market is segmented into passenger cars, LCVs, and M&HCVs.The global automotive glass market is growing proportionally to the sales of vehicles sold each year. The report focuses on the current scenario and the future prospects of the global automotive glass market for the period 2017-2021. To calculate the market size, the report considers the number of original equipment (OE) vehicles sold in different regions. The aftermarket sales volume of automotive glass units has not been considered in this report.

A fuel tank refers to a storage tank containing inflammable fluids. The fuel is stored and released in the form of pressurized gas into the engine.The global automotive fuel tank market is categorized according to the type of vehicles. The market is primarily divided into passenger cars (PCs), light commercial vehicles (LCVs), and medium and heavy commercial vehicles (M&HCVs) segments.The global automotive fuel tank market is expected to grow at a CAGR of 4.04% during the forecast period. The increasing demand for SUVs and crossovers in China and Europe will increase the sales of passenger cars and drive the global automotive fuel tank market during the forecast period. Lightweighting of passenger cars to achieve better fuel economy will lead to an increase in adoption of plastic fuel tanks, which will

help in reducing vehicle weight.

The report focuses on the current scenario and growth prospects of the global automotive disc brake market for the period 2017-2021. To calculate the market size,the report considers the global sales volume of commercial vehicles and passenger cars. Geographically, the market is divided into APAC, the Americas, and EMEA. In addition, the report discusses the major drivers that influence the growth of the market.It also outlines the challenges faced by the operators and the market at large, as well as the emerging trends. The aftermarket sales of disc brake units have not been considered in the report.

Collapsible steering column consists of two hollow shafts with the smaller shaft placed inside the other. The two shafts are fitted into each other with the help of bearings and sealing. This design structure allows the steering column to collapse during a frontal impact and absorbs the energy of impact.The collapsible steering column is a part of vehicle’s passive safety system and is developed to reduce the risk of injuries to the driver during front collisions. The general principle of the collapsible steering column is similar to that of a traditional steering column, transferring the motion of steering wheels to ground wheels through steering gearbox, with an exception of the structural design.

ATIS is a system, which is used to automatically inflate the vehicle tires whenever the internal pressure of the tire drops below the pre-set level.The market encompasses automatic tire inflator systems, which can monitor pressure inside vehicle tires and detect a pressure drop from pre-determined level,alert the driver, and automatically inflate the tire back to the needed pressure.
