15/01/22 An automotive wiring harness, usually the last component to be finalized on a vehicle prototype, is an assemblage of cables or wires used in automobiles to transfer signals or electric power. It is also known as a wiring loom for automobiles. Electric wires are tied together with the help of different components such as cable ties, electrical tape, conduits, or a combination of these to form the complete wiring assembly. An automotive wiring harness safeguards the wires against the impact of vib

15/01/22 HVAC is a technology used to provide heating, ventilation, and air conditioning to maintain good air quality and deliver thermal comfort through adequate ventilation inside vehicles. The main principles behind the operation of an HVAC unit are conduction and convention. Heat is transferred from a low-temperature region to high-temperature region inside the vehicle because of pressure difference.

15/01/20 Airbag fabric is mainly used to produce automotive airbag. Affected by technology, certification and supply chain relationship, there are higher barriers to entry for new manufacturers. Globally, the supply of airbag fabric is monopolized by the manufacturers from Japan, Europe and America. Similarly, the supply of airbag yarn (raw material for airbag fabric) is also in a state of oligopoly, basically controlled by American INVISTA, German PHP, Japanese Toray and several other companies. Bene

15/01/20 China's automobile industry has ushered in an explosive growth since 2000, with car ownership rising to 137 million by 2013, second only to the United States. According to an estimated average car scrappage deadline of 10-15 years, China will see the first car scrappage peak in 2015. China's overall automobile scrap rate was only 4% in 2013, far lower than 6%-8% of developed countries, mainly because national policies on motor vehicle liquidation are still unclear and the industry still desir
