Toyota First Asian OEM to Host the Society of Automotive Engineer World Congress

Ann Arbor, Michigan – Toyota will serve as the first Aisin OEM host company for the 2007 SAE World Congress. The 2007 SAE World Congress will be held April 16-19, in Detroit, Michigan at the Cobo Center.

This year's theme for the congress is: Engineering for Global Sustainable Mobility—It's Up to Us. Yasuhiko Ichihashi, president Toyota Technical Center said, "For the automotive industry, the number one priority is planning for future generations and this theme challenges each of us to individually and collectively address these concerns."

Toyota has teamed up with Delphi Electronics & Safety as the Tier One Strategic partner and DaimlerChrylser as this year's vice chair. "We have combined our strengths and skills to meet the challenges of 'continuous improvement' as we planned this year's Congress," said Yasuhiko Ichihashi.

For four days, the SAE 2007 World Congress exists as a rare microcosm of the global automotive industry—where the novice and the veteran will find what is necessary for enhancing core knowledge, while also gaining invaluable exposure to the people and the dialogue that will shape our industry, and in many ways, the world in which we live. www.sae.org/congress.
