Call for Papers: SAE Powertrains, Fuels & Lubricants Digital Summit
9 November 2020
The next SAE Powertrains, Fuels & Lubricants Digital Summit will be held virtually on September 28-30, 2021. SAE International has issued a Call for Papers for the conference.
The event was originally planned for San Diego, California, and the organizers hope to maintain the West Coast character of the conference. A keynote speech will be delivered by John Wall, former CTO of Cummins and Chairman of the Board of the San Diego-based Achates Power.
The SAE is looking for papers and presentations by experts in the area of ground vehicle powertrain, fuels, and lubricants. In addition to published papers, authors will be asked to submit MP4 video files (voice over Powerpoint) to be part of the virtual programming. The topics under consideration include:
- General Powertrain Development
