This Intelligence Set includes the third edition of our clutches report, along with
profiles of Aisin Seiki, LuK, Valeo, and ZF. It offers excellent value for money and
will allow you to discover where the market is heading and how your competitors are
performing.

Of the three main vehicle markets of the developed world, Europe remains unique in
that nearly 80% of passenger cars are sold with manual transmission. Europe\'s
sceptical consumers, however, may be persuaded to embrace new technologies such as
the dual-clutch transmission pioneered by Volkswagen Group.

Although automatic transmissions are gaining a greater market share, especially in
northern Europe, consumer resistance remains strong. Motorists with an interest in
performance prefer changing gear for themselves, while those more concerned with
economy still believe that - quite apart from their extra cost - automatic
transmissions deliver inferior economy.

Emerging technologies include automatic clutches and electric manual transmissions.
Research into these technologies is particularly advanced in Europe and Japan.

In this third edition reviewing the key market drivers for OE vehicle gearbox
clutches, publisher updates the analysis of the impact of the \'alternative\'

manual transmission ( AMT ).
