Factors
1)
Engine segment
-Engine segment sales increased versus 2009, due to improved sales in most markets, especially the industrial, stationary power, light-duty automotive and medium-duty truck markets, which were partially offset by decreases in the North American heavy-duty truck market. The following are the primary drivers by market:

-Industrial market sales increased primarily due to a 154 percent improvement in international construction engine shipments driven by the economic recovery and infrastructure investment in emerging markets and a 123 percent improvement in units sold in the international mining markets due to increased coal and commodity demands.
-Stationary power engine sales increased primarily due to higher demand in power generation markets, particularly for high-horse power engines.
-Light-duty automotive sales increased significantly due to a 77 percent improvement in units sold to Chrysler as the result of shut-downs in 2009 as part of its reorganization efforts.
-Medium-duty truck engine sales increased due to a 78 percent increase in international units sold, primarily due to higher demand in the Brazilian truck market driven by a growing economy and government incentives.

-Total on-highway-related sales for 2010 were 50 percent of total engine segment sales, compared to 61 percent in 2009.

2)
Components segment
-Components segment sales increased in all businesses versus 2009. The following are the primary regional drivers by business:

-Emission solutions business sales increased due to higher technology content and increased sales of North American EPA 2010 aftertreatment systems and higher European demand for aftertreatment systems for the first fit market, which was partially offset by decreased sales of our EPA 2007 aftertreatment systems.

-Turbo technologies business sales increased due to improved original equipment demand in Europe and China and significant global aftermarket recovery.

-Filtration business sales increased in all regions primarily due to global aftermarket recovery and improved global original equipment sales.

-Fuel systems business sales increased primarily due to improved OEM first fit sales in China and the aftermarket recovery in North America, which was partially offset by decreased first fit sales in North America.
