SAE Annual Report 2012 - 6

Commercial Vehicle Sector
SAE Matters as its Vision 2020 and roadmap
toachieve this vision are aligned with the needs of
the on-highway, off-highway, and ground defense
communities within the commercial vehicle industry.
SAE's products and services supported this important
constituency throughout 2012 in the form of standards
development, rapid engineering competency
development, and cost-reducing innovations for value
conscious customers.
Evident across the 2012 commercial landscape
were further exploration of alternative fuels, growing
momentum toward hybridization, safety systems
improvements, increased emphasis on simulation
models for total vehicle integration initiatives, and a
sustained focus on reducing carbon dioxide emissions
and improving fuel efficiency. A significant, longterm
megatrend emerging is the increasing pace of
urbanization, resulting in expanding city limits that will
have massive implications on the future of mobility
across the commercial vehicle sector, particularly for
construction and agriculture.
Another noteworthy trend is the migration of industry
profits, which continue to shift further from vehicle and
equipment sales to the higher margin aftermarket and
aftersales line of business.
These include such integrated services as fleet
management, telematics, customer support, service
contracts and extended warranties, financial products
and services, and buy-back agreements.
Increased complexity as a result of multiple and
divergent approaches to achieving emissions
compliance also impacted this community. SAE
Matters as the industry juggles increased
government regulations with customer preferences
and requirements and adapts to glocalization,
which requires local development and production
strategies across global regions. Never far behind,
and another reason SAE Matters, is the increasing
need for worldwide heavy-duty engineering talent
for deployment in both centralized and decentralized
operations.
