Automotive Industry and Market Research
Environex expertise in the catalytic emission control industries is valued by company management and investors. Developments in the automotive industry lead to changes in emission control strategies. These impact the choice of materials to meet increasingly stringent air quality standards. Producers of materials rely on good information to plan their business strategies, and our expert independent industry and technology assessments provide reliable industry benchmarks for investment bankers preparing IPO's.
Years of experience in the emission control industry, a solid historical database, technical expertise, independence, and commitment to a thoughtful and thorough analysis of the industry are ideally suited to provide insightful information to position your business.
We maintain a current, detailed database of industrial and vehicle emission standards and closely monitor every aspect of the automobile industry. Current trends are exceedingly important because the main drivers of the emission control industry are the emission control regulations, engine technology developments, macroeconomics, and shifting consumer preferences (such as powertrain type and vehicle size).
Relative Stringency of Global Vehicle Emission Standards
The push toward higher fuel economy by both government and consumers are driving a shift in vehicle sizes and power trains. Fuel prices and fuel standards are also important considerations. In the near term, advanced power train technologies, such as the downsized DI gasoline technology has many implications for the PGM industry, as will California's upcoming LEV3 emission standards. Zero-emission vehicles, such as plug-in electric and fuel-cell vehicles are under rapid development and will have an impact on the industry, although many hurdles must be overcome.
New emission standards are continually introduced globally to reduce emissions from vehicle types never before regulated, such as off-road engines, including marine and locomotive diesel engines. Stage IV and Tier 4 diesel emission standards, for instance, will require advanced NOx and diesel particulate (DPF) aftertreatment on off-road and non-road diesel engines.
In-depth understanding is essential to ensuring your company is prepared for the future challenges facing the industry. With our sound scientific background and well-developed network of industry leaders, Environex is uniquely qualified to focus on the trends relevant to your business.
