The Society of Automotive Engineers Australasia (SAE-A) is very pleased to host the 21st Asia Pacific Automotive Engineering Conference in Australia (APAC21).

We are thrilled to be delivering this conference face to face and are excited to bring leading experts from academia and industry back together in the same room to share those special interactions that only come when we connect in person.

The Australian automotive industry has been repositioning itself over the past 10 years from a manufacturing producer of vehicles to that of a centre of competency in vehicle design, engineering, innovation and technology. The SAE-A is also transforming. It has over 90 years of automotive history and is well accredited to host the 21st APAC conference and reposition our future in Australia – one that has the infrastructure to be at the forefront of technology and innovation, research and development and smart manufacturing.

The Asia Pacific Automotive Engineering Conference (APAC) has been held every two years since 1981. APAC provides excellent opportunities for international automotive experts to present the latest product and development innovations and exchange information in mobility, autonomous cars, and transport vehicle technology as a global challenge for the industry, users, and society. 

Autonomous Vehicle Technology is the technological breakthrough of the future for a myriad of reasons: safety, efficiency, connectivity, industry 4.0, smart cities, cost and reliability.

The conference will focus on innovative applications, manufacturing, tools, platforms and solutions in all technology areas such as the applications of signal processing, wireless communications, informatics and electronics, related to different types of vehicles such as cars, trucks, buses, off-road vehicles, trams and the intelligent transportation system that connects and manages large numbers of vehicles, not only in the context of smart cities but in many other regional and remote locations with little infrastructure support.
