The SAE Powertrain, Fuels & Lubricants is a conference and exhibition discussing new technology that could have an impact on our industry and for us at Catagen in particular, an impact on emissions performance
Q2 why was it important to attend ?
I think it is important to attend this event for a couple of reasons, the first being to further enhance our knowledge within the industry on tailpipe emissions technology. Secondly it’s important to build relationships within the industry with our peers who are also aligned with our values and purpose.
