The Mission
According to International Energy Agency, the transportation sector accounts for one-fourth of the global energy-related CO2 emissions. Mobility professionals are the driving force motivating the convergence of vehicles, energy grids, supply chains, and communications networks (IEA, 2021).
Government and industry are increasingly turning to new technology to support a cleaner and more efficient world. And, to meet the goal of net zero emissions, the businesses and individuals involved require a complete transformation in R&D and process standardization.
As the oldest and largest organization for engineers in the aerospace and ground vehicle sectors, SAE International is continuing to support industry through Sustainable Mobility Solutions. We’re bringing together the latest technical research, training, and expertise to address the most pressing problems in the transportation ecosystem.
SAE’s Sustainable Mobility Solutions is committed to leading you through the many unanswered questions around:
• Best practices,
• Safety protocols,
• Workforce development.
We’re here to support your growth as you lead the way to net zero emissions.
Focus Areas
We’re developing comprehensive, data-driven research, technical reports, training, and standards vital to achieving net zero emissions.
EV Charging Infrastructure
Charging reliability and a secure transfer of data are essential to building trust with the consumer. So, we’re partnering with experts to study session data and develop a framework for charging infrastructure and an open PKI for global industry. The work of technical and policy leadership from more than a dozen leading organizations, including ChargePoint, Department of Energy, Rivian and Tesla, Electrify America, and more, will lead to an equitable solution for all industry.
Battery Lifecycle
With an increased adoption of electric vehicles, more and more battery components are being developed. We’re taking a closer look at a system-wide perspective that enables all stages from production to end-of-life processes.
Workforce Development
With the global shift to a cleaner, more sustainable world, government and industry are prioritizing roles in sustainable mobility. SMS provides training opportunities, job postings, and industry trends and helps individuals stay informed and connected to relevant resources. Additionally, SMS facilitates skill-building through SAE's learning management system and delivers educational content and assessments to enhance the knowledge and competencies of workers in the sustainable mobility sector.
