Auto Electronics: Headed for Crash?

摘要

New US light vehicle production rose 19.9% year-over-year in 2012 to 10.4 million units, driving big gains in automotive electronics. But the joyride might be about to end, new research indicates. For the year, car production rose 38.9%, and trucks were up 9% over 2011. Unit sales were close to the 2007 high of 10.9 million units. But the big jump spells a slowdown for 2013 in the US, although global markets should continue to move forward, according to Ed Henderson of Henderson Ventures (hendersonventures.com).
