  5. Automotive Technology Conference/Workshop • Objectives • Identify Potential Needs in Technology, Social and Economic Development within Host Countries • Focus on Subjects and Issues Designated by the Host Countries • Recommendations can be Proactive Toward Assisting the Host Country’s Sustainable Development • Encourage Long-term Government, Industry and Academia Collaboration between US and Hosting countries

  6. Organization and Format • SAE International • Ford, GM, Chrysler • US Automotive Suppliers • US EPA, DOE, DOC • Government Organizations, Auto Industry and Academia in Hosting Countries

  7. Organization and Format • Open Presentations at Conference Sessions • Only Invited Experts to Participate in Workshop, about Half from US and Half from Hosting Countries • Break-out Groups to Develop Recommendations • Publish Workshop Recommendation Reports

  8. Formulation of Recommendations China 1. Transportation Policy,Economics and Administration (6) 2. Environmental Science and Technology (10) 3. Fuels and Energy (7) 4. Engine and Emission Control Technologies (10) 5. Total Life Cycle Assessment, Advance Materials and Recycling (6) 6. International Efforts and Global Standards (6)

  9. Formulation of Recommendations Thailand 1. Vehicle Emissions, Ambient Air Quality and Transportation Infrastructure (15) 2. Fuels and Energy (14) 3. Harmonization of Standards and Regulations (4) 4. Development of the Automotive Industry (8) 5. National Automotive Strategies and Policies (21)

  10. Formulation of Recommendations Philippines 1. National Transportation Strategies and Policies (7) 2. Automotive Components Strategy and Development (3) 3. Regulations, Standards Harmonization and Safety (4) 4. Fuels and Energy (5) 5. Environment and Mobility (5) 6. Human Resource Development (Training) (3)

  11. Implementation of Recommendations China -- Rare-Earth Oxide Catalysts Program • Objective • Develop a low cost and robust catalytic converter for vehicles which utilizes China’s abundant rare earth resources and technologies • Agreement • Ford and Chinese Government (Sep. 1996) • Cooperative R/D partnership • Patents and licensing

  12. China -- Rare-Earth Oxide Catalysts Program • Scope • Rare Earth Catalyst Research and Development Program • Fundamental Catalyst Research Program • Ceramic Substrate Development Program • Catalyst Performance Evaluation and Testing Program • In-use Vehicle Retrofit

  13. China -- Rare-Earth Oxide Catalysts Program • Results • REO catalyst developed by Ford and China applied to new vehicles with EFI can meet ECE 83.01 • REO catalyst is effectively used to retrofit in-use vehicles to reduce automotive emissions by 50%, as demonstrated by fleet study in Kunming City • REO catalyst effectively reduce cost emission control system • REO catalyst has potential to be applied to diesel engine vehicles

  14. Implementation of Recommendations • Thailand -- Biomass Ethanol Fuels Program • Workshop help in August 2000 • Developed Recommendations for a Comprehensive Ethanol Fuel Program in Thailand • Established Management and Technical Program Committees

  15. Thailand -- Biomass Ethanol Fuels Program • Bio-Ethanol Fuels Program Emphasis • Government Policies and Strategies • Ethanol Production Technologies • Vehicle Technologies • Infrastructure Development • Economic, Environment and Energy Assessments • Market Development

  16. Thailand -- Biomass Ethanol Fuels Program • Current Efforts • Formulate Research, Development and Implementation Strategies • Thailand’s Government to Support Technologies, Infrastructure, Incentives and Policies for Bio-Ethanol Fuels • Establish an Internet-Based Technical Information Network System (TINS)

  17. Implementation of Recommendations • Philippines -- Ford Asian Pacific Visiting Engineer and Scientist Program • Candidate: Government officials, Professionals from Academia and Industry • Subjects: Emission Control, Alternative Fuel Vehicle, Regulations and Standards • Timing: 6 Months working at Ford Facilities in Michigan
