SET-2012 is a multi-disciplinary international conference on the sustainable energy sources and technologies, and will provide a forum for the exchange of latest technical information, the dissemination of the high-quality research results on the issues, the presentation of the new developments in the area of sustainable energy, and the debate and shaping of future directions and priorities for better environment, sustainable development and energy security. The primary theme of the conference is sustainable energy, not only in engineering and science but also in all other disciplines (e.g. ecology, education, social sciences, economics, management, political sciences, and information technology). Therefore, papers on related topics are solicited from all relevant disciplinary areas, ranging from current problems, projections, new concepts, modeling, experiments and measurements, to simulations. The Event will take place September 2-5 2012. More information on this event is available via: SET 2012

The Electric Vehicle Symposium will take place in Los Angeles California on May 6-9 2012. The event will host the “Ride, Drive and Charge” event, which allows exhibiting companies with licensed on-road vehicles (as well as lightweight, off-and non-road vehicles, scooters and bikes) are eligible to participate and present their vehicles. 42 lecture sessions, workshops, and poster sessions will be open for participants.

In 1889, “horseless carriages” made their appearance for the Universal Expo. In 1894, the first Paris-Rouen automobile race was held, on the initiative of the Petit Journal, which created the first bicycle races. This new form of locomotion quickly sparked great excitement and enthusiasm. The Automobile Club de France, founded in 1895, undertook the mission of promoting “motoring” and, in 1898, created the first international automobile, cycle and sports show. To prevent vehicles being exhibited that were automobiles in name only, it was stipulated that no vehicle could be included in the show unless it had completed a trip from Paris to Versailles and back, under its own power and in the presence of a commissioner. Today, The Paris Motor Show continues to showcase and support major developments in the automobile industry, in particular in the fields of safety, new forms of energy and the environment in terms of new manufacturer and consumer behaviour. Despite the relocation of production and markets to developing countries, its appeal is undiminished and its position as the world’s top show remains unquestioned. In 2008 almost 1.5 million visitors, 13,000 accredited journalists from 100 countries and 80 World Premiers prove that it is no longer just a [...]
