We are U.S.
Detroit. The name conjures images of industrial might – the American birthplace of the automotive industry. Detroit exemplifies industry showing the world what it can do when it matters.
When the future of the world was in the balance, Detroit and America completely switched gears from making cars and consumer goods to becoming the arsenal of democracy.
Completely retooling industry in a few short years from 1939 to 1942 to save the world was made possible by Americans, by American industry, by American organizations like SAE, IEEE, ASME and by American government at all levels. And, spoiler alert, we won.
Today we are facing global risks as challenging as World War II. Detroit and America are again being asked to completely retool to help save the planet — to electrify transportation.
While attending SAE World Congress, WCX 2022, I was struggling with why so many people doubt America’s ability to electrify transportation to help save our world. SAE is helping bring the future to us.
Stop doubting. Doing big things is who we are.
