SAE is a global community-post questions and discuss the latest
technical topics from anywhere in the world. Below are a few
popular recent threads. Add your voice today!
HYBRID ELECTRIC VEHICLE CONFIGURATIONS
General Motors

As the evolution of electric vehicles continues, we are still faced with
the range limitations that are pretty much a concern as long as there
isn't a full network of " fast charging " stations everywhere. One option
may be a reserve battery and or spare backup battery, or the further
development of the hybrid idea. So, this discussion is about ways to
make electric vehicles more distant-friendly. Let's start by discussing
efficiency issues with regard to the drivetrain configurations. - Add

HYDROGEN PROMOTION
General Motors

Environmental policy would better serve the people by supporting
investment in biomass-based diesel rather than pushing for hydrogen-
the latter being a vastly more expensive, economically unsustainable
transportation fuel that provides fewer public benefits than biomassbased diesel. - Add your voice here!

Member Connection Chat...
What is a chat? It's a two-day session with an SAE subject matter expert on a variety of
technical topics, soft skill development, leadership, and workforce development. Add your
voice to this dialogue-ask questions, provide answers and, ultimately, gain insights from SAE
and its members around the globe. The next chat is slated for May 25-26 on the topic of " Your
Dream Job. " The most recent Chat was to be held on March 30-31. The topic was " Women in
the Aerospace Industry. " Among the scheduled hosts/experts were Rhonda Walthall and
Brenda Mitchell, who authored a new SAE book about accomplished women in the aerospace
industry. Click here for more information about the Chat program in Member Connection.
