SAE International is very pleased to announce plans for its first conference in China, the 2008 SAE International Powertrains, Fuels and Lubricants Congress. The Shanghai Marriott Hongqiao Hotel in Shanghai is the selected venue, with a strategic location in the center of the Hongqiao business district. Strong collaboration with SAE-China and the China Automotive Technology and Research Corporation (CATARC) has made the success of the event possible. The Congress will feature 100+ new papers on the latest technological innovations for advanced engines and powertrains (including small engines), control and calibration systems, fuels, emissions and lubricants. This conference will also be unique in that as many as one-third of the presentations will be available and presented in both English and Chinese and all plenary sessions will feature simultaneous translations. SAE International looks forward to serving its global audiences with offerings such as the 2008 PF&L Congress and wishes to thank all involved for their contributions.
