Market and market position

The international automotive market can be divided into three regions, Europe, the USA and Asia. The business unit’s largest market is Europe and, within that market, Germany. From a global perspective the business unit’s major customers are Daimler, Continental, Robert Bosch, Delphi Europe and ZF. Customers can count on Passenger Car Systems as a development partner, with active project teams, in-depth technical knowledge and access to development, test and production facilities. Growth in the European electromagnetic-component market is driven by new applications, and in this sense the market developments in 2008 were – in view of the newly-acquired projects – favourable to Passenger Car Systems.
