SAE Annual Report 2009 - 7

SAE International is...

responding to industry needs

Automotive
During	2009,	the	global	recession	had	a	severe	impact	on	the	 automotive industry, which had a corresponding impact on SAE International’s automotive sector activities. Automotive manufacturers and suppliers from around the world have been affected by the economic downturn. Besides lower sales, many are wrestling with a very weak dollar, which affects their profitability. All of SAE International’s automotive offerings were scrutinized in 2009 to ensure they provide value, are cost-effective and include the latest, relevant technology to automotive professionals. In 2009, SAE International: •	 Developed	closer	relationships	with	the	new	generation	of	 automotive industry executives that are leading the automotive manufacturers and key suppliers. •	 Provided	increased	support	to	non-U.S.	automotive	manufacturers	 and	suppliers.	Non-U.S.	automotive	manufacturers	and	suppliers	 are gaining a higher market share and will become increasingly important to SAE International’s global success. •	 Worked	toward	establishing	profitable	and	sustainable	operating	 models	in	the	automotive	communities	of	China,	India,	Russia,	 Brazil, and Europe, including partnerships with other societies, private automotive organizations and governmental entities. •	 Took	steps	to	become	the	provider	of	choice	for	automotive	 information globally. SAE International aggressively sought out intellectual property, including those from important technological areas such as mobility electronics and advanced propulsion.
