It's very rare that you will hear the US referred to as an emerging market, but as you will discover from the latest edition of it's diesels report, the US is following Europe's lead, although it remains to be seen whether the US passenger car market will reach the diesel adoption rates seen in Europe.
Until recently, diesel cars were largely confined to Western European markets, since these were not traditionally oil-producing nations. Now global oil stocks are in decline and nations such as the US, that have been oil producers find that they are now net oil importers. Given these factors, coupled with emissions legislation, we will see the spread of diesel cars beyond Western Europe, where in 2005 some 49% of new cars registered were diesel powered.
This new report boasts a 4,000 word increase on the previous edition. It will tell you about emissions standards; how they differ in Europe, California, Japan and the technologies that have been developed to control emissions and meet legislation. We have dedicated a section to diesel motorsport, as since our last edition we have seen the first prototype diesel hybrid car and the emergence of serious diesel motor sport activity, by Audi, Peugeot and BMW. We consider how diesels are progressing in emerging markets, which, by definition, must include the US. This 'emerging market' where the diesel engine has been the preserve of commercial vehicles, is analysed in depth, along with Japan/Asia-Pacific. You will also find chapters on diesel/electric hybrids, fuel injection technology, the global diesels market, and manufacturing.
Alongside the manufacturer forecasts you will have found in the previous report, this latest edition also includes key market forecasts to 2011.
Chapter 1 - Introduction
Chapter 2 - Emissions standards: This chapter outlines the emissions agenda, which is effectively set by the regulations in force and planned for Europe, The US and Japan.
Chapter 3 - Emissions control technologies:
Chapter 4 - Diesel motorsport: Find out how BMW, Peugeot and Audi have developed diesel engines to be used in motorsport.
Chapter 5 - Diesel/electric hybrids: Full hybrid technology may be expensive in the short term, but it is suggested that an element of it could be introduced to current models with internal combustion engines. This chapter explores the different possibilities available, their limitations and advantages, and the approach taken by PSA, who have recently unveiled two hybrid prototypes.
Chapter 6 - Fuel injection technologies:
Chapter 7 - Global diesel markets: Western Europe remains at the global centre of diesel production and consumption, where diesel's share of new car registrations in the 15 EU states has increased by over 5% from 2003 to 2005. This chapter looks at the level of potential in each of the major European markets and the factors influencing diesel penetration. Japan/Asia Pacific and The US and markets are discussed in terms of emerging regions, where until now the gasoline engine has been favoured by consumers, particularly in the US, where the current penetration of diesels sits at around just 3.6% of the passenger car market.
Chapter 8 - Manufacturing:
Chapter 9 - Provides a conclusion.
