Summary
The following is a summary of reports on eco-friendly technologies and new technologies by suppliers and material manufacturers at the SAE 2011 World Congress (held in Detroit on April 12 to 14, 2011; referred to as the SAE show). The number of companies at the show increased slightly from last year's about 100 to 140, but fell far from 300 two years ago; it seems to take some time to recover to the business conditions before the fall of Lehman's.
