2000 SAE International Truck & Bus Meeting & Exposition
December 4 - 6, 2000
Oregon Convention Center, Portland, Oregon
Trucking into the New Millennium with www.sae.org/truck
Portland, Oregon, home of Freightliner LLC, the 2000 Truck & Bus Meeting & Exposition host company, promises to break new ground as it launches what will be the industry's most thoughtful examination of some of the critical issues facing it - this is what 2000 Truck & Bus Chairman and Freightliner CEO Jim Hebe has been working toward with the members of the 2000 SAE International Truck & Bus Meeting & Exposition General Committee.
Experts from all realms of the transportation world will explore particular topics and lead in-depth discussions to focus this conference on crucial topics. Each day will feature an issue forum - Safety Technology, Changing Business Models, Diesel Engines and the Environment.
The 3 issue forums will be webcast live - made possible by the generosity of Freightliner LLC. Information and instructions on how to participate in these webcasts will be posted closer to the meeting date on www.sae.org/truck
This year's Buckendale Lecture "Commercial Use of Military Truck Technology" will be presented by Ron Ziebell, Oshkosh Truck Corporation. The Buckendale Lecture is an annual Lecture supported by ArvinMeritor, Eaton Corporation, Cummins Engine Company, TRW, Inc, and Dana Corporation, this year's sponsor. The lecture will complement several sessions devoted to the government/industry 21st Century Truck Partnership.
Again, the Micro-Truck Baja Design Competition in which students compete with a modified stock model truck or a completely custom made vehicle across an all-terrain course set up in the convention center, offers a change to see what students can do.
Technical Tours are offered to the Pacific Northwest Truck Museum, to Freightliner, Williams Controls, and Warn Industries.
50 technical sessions addressing virtually every aspect on the vehicle plus an exiting exhibition with over 50 vehicles will keep attendees busy.
Again, this year attendees can register for all activities including hotel room reservations on the web.
