One of my strategies is to look at what they are publishing, presenting at conferences.
Generally, what is made public are information that is of limited technical value, the problem having been already solved and put in place, and is published to deter others (as in we solved that one, and you haven't), prevent others from patenting it (patent filing clock starts to run), or to goad the industry to a new standard (that they control)...
Working backwards, you also can guess what they didn't know a few years before the paper was published, and what flaws are likely to be in the older design.
A rash of publications by Bosch around 2009 is co-incindental with ULSD in USA, and CP4 introduction in 2007 (and early data in field coming in), and a few other events...
NewsW, do you have any inside knowledge here? Do you have connections to Bosch, Ford, VW, or GM?
