SAE 2014 Commercial Vehicle Engineering Congress

 

ย The SAE 2014 Commercial Vehicle Engineering Congress (COMVEC) brings together a global assembly of both on- and off-road professionals, providing solid, profitable interaction with engineers, supply managers and executives.

Canada, one of seven countries from four continents, will be represented by FPInnovationsโ€™ Performance Innovation Transport (PIT) group.ย  It was announced today that Marius Surcel, technical leader, will be on a panel focused on fuel economy testing for commercial vehicle aerodynamics.

โ€œHaving played a key role in PITโ€™s controlled test-track fuel efficiency studies of trailer aerodynamic devices, Marius will bring a unique perspective to this important discussion,โ€ said Yves Provencher, director of the PIT group. โ€œ His experience in testing over 230 fuel efficiency products will serve him well as an expert on this panel to help commercial-vehicle industry leaders and innovators focus on aerodynamics and to accelerate the implementation of fuel efficient technology.โ€

The panel will be at the SAE 2014 COMVEC on October 7-9 at the Rosemont Convention Centre in Chicago, Ill.
