2000 SAE International Off-Highway Congress: one for the ages

From antique off-highway equipment to the latest in intelligent vehicle technology, the 2000 SAE International Off-Highway & Powerplant Congress & Exposition brings yesterday and tomorrow together today.

No doubt about it, the off-highway engineers who planned the Great Pyramid of Cheops in Egypt designed one of the Seven Wonders of the Ancient World. But who knows what more they could have accomplished if they'd been able to compare notes beforehand at a Fourth-Dynasty version of SAE's Off-Highway Congress.

And although pyramid construction isn't among the technical sessions listed for the 2000 SAE International Off-Highway & Powerplant Congress & Exposition, scheduled for Sept. 11-13 at the Midwest Express Center in Milwaukee, WI, the overall theme, “Integrating New Technology in the New Millennium,” is one that promises to span generations.
