SAE International to Host Vehicle Battery Summit in Shanghai
WARRENDALE, Pa. (February 3, 2010)
Menahem Anderman, Ph.D., will serve as chairperson for SAE International’s Vehicle Battery Summit, scheduled 1-3 September 2010. The event will bring together the world’s most highly regarded engineers, scientists and corporate decision makers from the battery, automotive, utility and lithium mining industries. In recognition of China’s growing significance in both the development and implementation of electrified vehicles of all types, this international summit will be held at the Shanghai Marriott Hongqiao Hotel in Shanghai, China.
Dr. Anderman, President of Advanced Automotive Batteries, USA and founder of Total Battery Consulting, Inc., is distinguished in the industry as a broad-based battery expert who has taken both lithium- and nickel-based products from material research, through product development, and into the marketplace. He is a well-known for publishing multi-client studies on advanced automotive energy storage technologies and markets and for founding and chairing the international Advanced Automotive Battery Conferences (AABC), now in its 10-years.
Co-sponsored by the Society of Automotive Engineers of China (SAE-China), the Summit is designed to provide corporate-level engineering and business decision makers with an assessment of current and near term Li-ion battery systems alternatives and capabilities; as well as critical marketplace and supply chain information. Dr. Anderman is organizing an outstanding list of more than twenty expert speakers representing the world’s largest and most successful companies in the vehicle battery and related industries.
The program compares technological advances occurring worldwide, including developments in Europe, Taiwan, Korea, the U.S. and in particular China, it also examines growth projections for the electrified vehicle/battery markets and explores their implications for the global marketplace—thereby providing the insight required for optimum business decision-making. Reliability and safety issues as well as other challenges the industry faces, including standardization, will also be addressed.
The Summit will provide an exclusive opportunity to interact with corporate technology peers from the automotive OEM, the battery components and manufacturing industry, and the lithium mining industry. The event will include opportunities for corporate sponsorships and exhibits as well as technology related poster sessions.
