Summary of industry perspectives activities
To increase the number and variety of industry viewpoints recorded by Industry Perspective (IP) efforts and to enhance the validity of these viewpoints, the IP program's scope was widened in 1985 to include interactions with the Society of Automotive Engineers (SAE) through its Engineering Activities Board. As a result of this new relationship, a dedicated IP session was held at the 1985 SAE Off-Highway and Powerplant Congress in Milwaukee on September 10, 1985. This session featured a panel of leading research and engineering executives from the major engine companies in the US, who gave their perspectives on existing and future programs sponsored by the Office of Transportation Systems (OTS) in the US Department of Energy's (DOE's) Heat Engine Propulsion Division (HEPD). The content of that session is summarized below. The IP activities at the 23rd Automotive Technology Development Contractors' Coordination Meeting (CCM) were different than those of the last several years. No stand-alone IP session was held at this year's CCM due to the expanded IP/SAE format and the large number of technical presentations scheduled. At this year's CCM, IP activity consisted of a series of written questions on future research for advanced transportation heat engines. The questions were based in part on the results of the Milwaukee IP session and were included in the registration material given to all participants. The responses are summarized at the end of this paper. In addition, CCM attendees were extended the opportunity to participate in future IP activities that are not necessarily associated with technical meetings. Interested persons could return a postcard indicating their desire to receive additional IP information. A total of 90 postcards were received, of which 69% were from industry, 19% from government agencies and laboratories, 4% from universities, and 8% from other organizations.
