SAE 2005 President celebrates one
amazing century
As the Society of Automotive
Engineers continues its centennial
celebration, I would like to thank
you for the opportunity to serve as
your 2005 SAE President. I appreci-
ate the support from all of you, and
I am honored by your con dence in
my ability to represent SAE on your
behalf. Rest assured that I will work
diligently to earn this con dence in
all of my endeavors throughout this
momentous year.
I have had the pleasure of
already attending several events as
the 2005 president, and I cannot
express how much I have enjoyed
meetingand, in many cases,
reconnecting withso many of
you all over the world. My rst
impressions have been nothing but
positive. However, looking at my
travel schedule over this next year,
I am concerned that I might never
know what time zone Ill be in at
any given moment.
SAE was an integral part of my
career before I even had a career.
In 1968, I was elected president of
the student branch at the Univer-
sity of Toronto. Since that time,
I have served in a number of roles
and went through all the chairs in
several of the societys sections: the
Ontario Section, the Mid-Michigan
Section, and the Detroit Section, in-
cluding as its chairman in 2001. In
addition, I served at the internation-
al level on the board of directors
and with many committees, such as
Strategic Planning, ABET Relations,
Blue Ribbon Panel, Finance Com-
mittee, and others.
Throughout my 37-year career
with General Motors and Ameri-
can Specialty Cars (ASC), I have
been privileged to watch SAE grow
into a truly remarkable organiza-
tion. And now, in its 100th year of
The ultimate networking event
The SAE World Congress is the pre-
mier place for networking, and this
year, the opportunities for shaking
hands with decision-makers and
engineering peers are nonstop day
and night all week long. The once-
a-year show sponsored by SAE
International is regarded by many
automotive industry engineers and
executives as the place to be.
If SAE didnt exist, wed just
have to create one. Its that impor-
tant to us, said Terry Woychowski,
General Motors Vehicle Chief
Engineer for full-size trucks.
There are hundreds of event
spots to mix and mingle with the
industrys innovation stars. This year,
the show spotlights 1520 technical
papers. As in past years, technical
paper authors are eager to share
their engineering news. All techni-
cal papers have to be brand new,
rst-time presentations, said David
Amati, Director of the Global Au-
tomotive Business and Automotive
Headquarters for SAE International.
Hundreds of exhibitors will display
products across Cobos show oor,
and this year, SAE organizers and the
events host company, General Mo-
tors, have extended the networking
GM debuts Technology Integration Vehicle
Compared with the production version of Cadillacs newest STS sedan,
the Technology Integration Vehicle (TIV) that General Motors is debuting
today at the SAE 2005 World Congress features alterations to its power-
train, chassis, electrical system, as well as exterior and interior. Essentially a
seven-month project from selection of suppliers to vehicle completion, the
program involved taking the rear-wheel-drive STS and enhancing it with
in-production as well as yet-to-reach-production technologies. We are
demonstrating the most technically integrated vehicle ever seen, said Al
Oppenheiser, GMs Director of Concept Vehicles.
Unlike the 2005 Cadillac STSs 255-hp (190-kW) 3.6-L V6 or 320-hp
(239-kW) 4.6-L Northstar V8, the TIV is powered by a supercharged LS2
6.0-L V8 that puts out about 505 hp (377 kW) at 5600 rpm and 520 lb·ft
(705 N·m) at 3600 rpm with the help of 7 psi (48 kPa) of boost provided
by a GM-modi ed Eaton M122 intercooled supercharger. A six-speed
automatic transmission, the GM Hydra-Matic 6L90E, mates to the TIVs
supercharged engine.
On the chassis side, the wheels outer ring is carbon ber, and the
center section is magnesium casting, said Jacob Burghoffer, Lead Chassis
Engineer for the TIV. A GKN limited-slip differential provides additional
vehicle traction capability without brake or engine intervention. Its a
As part of its nal development phase, the Technology Integration Vehicle
underwent testing at GMs Desert Proving Grounds in Mesa, AZ.

General Motors has high expectations
The worlds largest automaker will
participate in a correspondingly siz-
able manner at the worlds largest
annual gathering of automotive
engineers.
And as host of the SAE 2005
World Congress, General Motors
is aiming to make the event an in-
vestment of time that will pay hefty
dividends for anyone who attends,
said Jim Queen, the Vice President
of GM Global Engineering who is
serving as Congress General Chair.
Previous Congresses have paid
off for Queen, a strong support-
er of SAE who made a keynote
presentation at last years event
and assisted in its planning.
The SAE World Congress has a
lot of meaning for me, and I have
high expectations for it, he said.
I set a goal for myself as Chair to
do all I could to help assure that in
2005, SAEs 100th anniversary, the
World Congress is better than ever.
I personally want to see the Con-
gress bring to our industry a true in-
ternational perspective on relevant
technology and knowledge. I want
to see the Congress highlight the
best supplier capabilities. I want to
see the Congress provide a valuable
forum to discuss the challenges we
face as an industry, and provide
discussion forums around possible
solutions to those challenges.
Its a huge honor and responsi-
bility for GM to host the SAE World
Congress during SAEs centennial
year. GM has a long-standing com-
mitment to SAE, in part because we
see SAE as a forum to work more ef-
fectively with industry, government,
and academia on technical standards
