2015 JSAE/SAE Powertrains, Fuels and Lubricants Meeting 1 - 4 September 2015, Kyoto, Japan

Energy Trend Implications on Fuels and Automobiles toward 2035Energy issues pertaining to automobiles have undergone a quiet but profound transformation in recent years. There have been unexpected changes in conventional future prospects. These include a shift in the global primary energy situation due to the shale gas revolution in the U.S. and other developments, the new energy landscape in Japan, and a change in public values in each country. There is a need to answer the new question of how energy should ideally be used for automobiles in the future. It is also necessary to meet conventional automobile energy demands in terms of environmental protection and CO2 emission reductions.

Against this backdrop, the 2015 International Powertrains, Fuels & Lubricants Meeting will feature keynote speeches on related issues and challenges in the fields of fuel and automobiles, and will also include an Executive Panel Session in which the specifics of fuel and automobiles in 2035 will be discussed in the context of the presentations given. Both sections are expected to broaden our views regarding the future of automobiles and automobile energy.
