Introduction

The SAE-HK, a local group of the Society of Automotive Engineers (originally named), was inaugurated in December 2009.  In recognition to the success of the past two-year operations, the SAE-HK Group was approved by the International Activities Committee (IAC) and the SAE Section Board to achieve the SAE-HK section Statues, effective from 1 October 2001.  This section is covering the geographical boundary of Hong Kong with more than 100 local members who are professional engineers, entrepreneurs, industrialists and educations dedicated to advancing the engineering of mobility system.  For those business executive and industrialists, they are all being engaged in the automotive related business with extensive experiences in business partnership, joint ventures, technology and products development, production and quality management, etc. especially in mainland China.  The establishment of the SAE-HK Section is to promote the SAE membership for both industries and academic to facilitate the networking among professionals nationally and internationally, to provide an information services channel and to foster experiences sharing among members so as to increase the momentum of the development of the automotive industry in Hong Kong

The Society of Automotive Engineers – Hong Kong was renamed as SAE (International) Hong Kong in 2009.
