Factors

Overall

Net Sales  5,263.9 5,328.6 (1.2) -

Engine Segment

Net Sales 3,861.5 3,761.3 2.7 -The Engine segment continued to benefit from Asian automaker demand for turbochargers and timing systems, European automaker demand for turbochargers, timing systems, exhaust gas recirculation (EGR) valves and diesel engine ignition systems.

-This benefit was offset by lower North American production of light truck and sport-utility vehicles.
EBIT 394.9 418.0 (5.5) -The Segment EBIT margin was 10.2% in 2008, down from 11.1% in 2007, due to the significant reduction in customer production schedules in the U.S. and European markets, and increased costs for raw materials, principally steel.

Drivetrain Segment

Net Sales 1,426.4 1,598.8 (10.8) -The group was negatively impacted by lower U.S. production of light trucks and SUVs equipped with its torque transfer products and lower sales of its traditional transmission products.
EBIT (4.9) 118.1 - -Segment EBIT margin was (0.3)% in 2008, down from 7.4% in the prior year, due to the combined effect of DCT product start-up cost pressures and lower North American production of light trucks and sport-utility vehicles equipped with its torque transfer products.

R2S(R) regulated two-stage turbocharging system
-R2S(R) regulated two-stage turbocharging system consists of two turbochargers. At low engine speeds, the smaller high-pressure turbocharger ensures spontaneous engine response without "turbo lag". With increasing engine speed, the larger low-pressure turbocharger ensures constantly increasing power and high output torque across a wide range of engine speeds. The combination allows car makers to offer low-fuel-consumption engines with lower emissions. (From a press release on Nov 17, 2008)
