It is our pleasure to announce that Society of Automotive Engineers of Japan Inc. (JSAE) will hostthe 25th Small Engine Technology Conference (SETC2019) in Hiroshima, Japan, from 19th
through 21st of November, 2019.
The conference focuses on technologies for small power sources used for motorcycles,
agricultural machineries, generators, outboard motors, unmanned vehicles, and the like, as well as
the components used in these applications, excluding automobiles or aircrafts.

Since the inaugural conference was held in Milwaukee, the U.S. in 1989, SETC has been held in
various regions around the world, led by SAE International and JSAE. The area of concern covers
a wider technological fields, including internal combustion engines, electric motors, materials,measurements, simulations, engine controls, fuels, lubricants, parts, components (such as vehicle
body, suspension, transmission, electric and electronic components), safety, vehicle dynamics,
driving performance and environmental impacts, on condition that those of which are related tosmall engine technologies. Over-300 engineers and researchers, from the industry, academia andresearch institute will get together at the conference.

Not only presentations of technical papers but technical visits to local production sites andresearch facilities will be also planned. Moreover, in the plenary session, notable speakers areinvited, and topics, selected timely fashion, are picked up to exchange their precious opinions. In
addition, the exhibitions and the poster sessions are highly beneficial to enhance constructive
communications among the attendees.
