To whom it may concern,

The Announcement of the 28th Small Powertrains and Energy Systems Technology Conference(SETC2024)

It is our pleasure to announce that Society of Automotive Engineers of Japan Inc. (JSAE) will hostthe 28th Small Powertrains and Energy Systems Technology Conference (SETC2024) in Bangkok
in November 2024 with the cooperation of TSAE, Society of Automotive Engineers – Thailand.
The conference focuses on technology for small power source used for motorcycles, agriculturalmachineries, generators, outboard motors, unmanned vehicles, and the like, as well as thecomponents used in these applications, excluding automobiles or large aircrafts.

Since the inaugural conference was held in Milwaukee, the USA in 1989, SETC has been held in
various regions around the world, with SAE International and the JSAE taking the leading role.
The area of concern covers wide technological fields, including internal combustion engines andelectric motors, materials, measurements, simulations, engine controls, fuels, lubricants, parts &components (such as vehicle bodies, suspensions, transmissions, electric and electronic
components), safety, vehicle dynamics, driving performance & environmental impact, on
condition that those of which are closely related to small powertrain and energy systemtechnology. Over 300 engineers and researchers, from industry, academia and research institutewill get together at the conference.

In consideration of rising market needs and growing importance on small engine technology inAsia, the SETC has started held in an Asian country since 2005, every one out of 2-time whenorganized and hosted by JSAE. We had SETC2005 (Bangkok, Thailand), SETC2009 (Penang,Malaysia), SETC2013 (Taipei, Taiwan) and SETC2017 (Jakarta, Indonesia). In the coming yearof 2024, JSAE decided to have it in Bangkok, Thailand in cooperation with TSAE.

Not only technical paper presentations and new product technology presentations, but theplenary session is planned. As ever, notable speakers are invited, and topics, selected in a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. Technical visits on a local production center and research facilities will add fruitfulexperience to know recent activities in an Asian country.

Taking this opportunity, we would like to offer a chance of your contribution to the sponsorship,program and/or website banner advertisement and the exhibition space. These are excellent
opportunities to showcase your activities of technological developments, creating interactions
with interested people in the SETC. For more details, please check out the attachment.

The SETC2024 Steering Committee jointly with the Organizing Committee of TSAE will makeevery effort in making the conference success, and your valuable support and active
participation would be very much appreciated to ensure the success.

Your kind cooperation would be really appreciated.

Yours sincerely,
