Boston, MA -- (SBWIRE) -- 07/26/2013 -- Variable Valve Timing Market (Cam phasing, Variable Valve Actuation (VVA)) & Start-Stop Systems (Direct Starter, Enhanced Starter, Belt-driven Alternator Starter (BAS), Integrated Starter Generator (ISG)) Market Global Trends & Forecast By Technology & Geography To 2018

Cam-driven engines are the most common type of engines used in the modern day automotive industry and valve timing is one of the most crucial parameters in an engine configuration which decides the performance levels of a machine. Engine makers of the early days had trouble making a choice between high performance and high fuel efficiency. The fixed valve timing systems were designed to deliver one of the two, but with the inception of variable valve timing, this problem went out of the window. Variable valve timing systems provide the engine control unit a method of altering the valve's timing in order to enhance the vehicle's performance while delivering high fuel efficiency. The most common method of doing this is the cam-phasing unit which advances or retards the valve's opening and closing time, but with changing needs, new and advanced VVA (Variable Valve Actuation) systems have come up in the market which provides control over lift and duration of the valve opening as well.

Start-Stop systems present an all new approach to enhancing the fuel efficiency of an internal combustion engine. The system shuts down the engine whenever the vehicle comes to a halt and uses a battery operated starter generator to kick start the engine once the accelerator pedal is pushed. This helps control the emissions from the vehicle when it is stopped at traffic signals and also increases the vehicle's fuel efficiency. The system is used mainly in micro-hybrids and fully hybrid vehicles. The system represents a wide market which is still in its growth phase and the player which capitalizes on the opportunity can emerge as the market leader in the future.
