| Abstract: | Since being rolled out by the Sumerians in around 3500 BC, the wheel has been constantly re-invented. Today, the main development trends in the automotive wheels industry centre on producing larger, brighter and cheaper wheels.OEM's also require styling flexibility, reduced weight and high quality from their wheel suppliers today, and although the North American and European aluminium wheel market has grown over the past decade, the pace of growth has slowed recently, and advances in the use of steel has meant that manufacturers of steel wheels can meet alloy wheel designs head on. According to the American Iron and Steel Institute (AISI), steel wheels are making a comeback as vehicle makers realise that thanks to the development of new high-strength steels and improved design and simulation technology, they can save up to US$200 per vehicle, without making any sacrifice to quality or performance. In this fourth edition of the road wheels report just-auto reviews the key market drivers for road wheels, and provides updated market analysis. We include market share data for steel wheels and cast aluminium wheels, plus we provide top level market fitment, volume and value forecasts through to 2013. The report also includes exclusive Q&As with senior executives from ArvinMeritor, Hayes Lemmerz and the AISI. We also provide a review of recent innovations in this arena, plus brief profiles of the major manufacturers, namely Accuride, Alcoa, Amcast, ArvinMeritor, Hayes Lemme |
