The SAE World Congress is well known for bringing together suppliers and OEs, but never with such fanfare as the 2006 event will bring with its new OEM/Supplier Park. The park will conveniently co-locate OEMs and their Tier 1 suppliers in a single area just outside the bustling AVL Technology Theater, making this area and the exhibition a central place for dialogue. Attendees will have the opportunity to connect with the management and engineering staff in the upper echelons of the global automotive supply chain, view their most advanced and innovative technology, and learn of their future strategic direction.

The OEM/Supplier Park will feature advanced technology vehicle displays from BMW Group, Toyota, General Motors, Ford and DaimlerChrysler. Engineering leaders and executives from these companies will be on-hand to discuss technical advances that add value to the end-user and indicate future strategic direction in powertrain, safety, materials, chassis, and electronics technologies. Engineers and executives from top tier global suppliers—Benteler, Hydro Aluminum, Lear, Motorola, Preh, Inc., Yazaki North America Inc., and more-will showcase their technologies and capabilities in providing solutions to customer challenges.
