accidents and conduct body scans to put people in the most comfortable driving
position.\"

Press Release Body: ELECTRONICS.CA PUBLICATIONS, the electronics industry market
research and knowledge network, announces the availability of a new report entitled
\"Automotive Sensor Technologies: Global Markets\".

The role of the automotive sensor has grown to be recognized as one of the major
considerations of automotive design. Sensors are increasingly being used to perform
vital functions in systems, such as the power train, chassis, and body. The
influence of this technology, hence, pervades every aspect of the automobile,
including engine control, transmission, braking, maneuverability, safety, comfort,
and convenience.

The global market for automotive sensor technologies increased from $7.3 billion in
2006 to an estimated $8 billion by the end of 2007. According to this new report,
the market should reach $13.5 billion by 2012, a compound annual growth rate (CAGR)
of 10.8%. Moreover, power train sensors are expected to account for the largest
share of the market, worth an estimated $4.7 billion in 2007 and expected to reach
$7.7 billion by 2012, a CAGR of 10.5%.

The report offers the examinations of the current global market status of automotive
sensor technologies, technological issues within the area, and of major companies in
the industry. The report analyst, Dan Pepper, commented that "In the future, sensor
technology will manage driver commutes, help avoid accidents and conduct body scans
to put people in the most comfortable driving position."

"Although some sensor subsectors are relatively mature and growing at a fairly
consistent rate, the automotive sensor industry as a whole is growing much faster
than automotive sales. Therefore, it was time to reexamine this market to find the
reasons for this accelerated growth and bring forth any meaningful trends that could
be found."

To complete its analysis on the global automotive sensor market and forecasts the
relevant trends, the report is structured to dig deep down into the existing
technologies and their markets as well as emerging technologies with an assessment
of their future in this fast moving industry.

Details of the new report, "Automotive Sensor Technologies: Global Markets" can be
found on Electronics.ca Publications\' web site.
