On behalf of SAE International:
Dear Organizers of CONAT 2024,
Congratulations on the successful organization of the 13th Edition of CONAT and the 18th EAEC Congress! It’s inspiring to see the collaboration between SIAR, Transylvania University of Brasov, and SAE International bringing together experts to tackle the future challenges of the automotive industry.
The Congress aims to facilitate a mutually beneficial exchange and sharing of information in key areas of mobility engineering viz Advance Powertrain systems, environment, advanced software developments, new materials, vehicle dynamics and systems, advance transportation systems, accident research and analysis, and history of automotive technologies hus covering a large number of important subjects.
My Best wishes for a fruitful exchange of knowledge and a memorable celebration of the 75th anniversary of the Faculty of Mechanical Engineering and Romania’s first Automotive Engineering study program.
Warm regards,
Murli M. Iyer

Presidential Address from EAEC:
First, I would Like to thank SIAR for the organisation of the EAEC-CONAT 2024 Congress.
This will continue the series of European Automotive Congresses. SIAR has hosted this EAEC Congress in the framework of the annual SIAR Congresses and Congresses two before.
There is a need for more specific co-operation among major European Societies, which are members of FISITA, The European automotive industry is on a level playing field with its competitors in America and the Asia-Pacific region. That's why a European congress like this is so important to show the flag.
The annual SIAR events are general automotive congresses as well as the FISITA and EAEC congresses. That means that various topics of the automotive technology are covered.
I wish the Congress organisers all success, many interesting presentations and many useful contacts.
Guenter Hohl
EAEC Interim President

Electromobility, depollution, sustainable development, alternative and synthetic fuels, internal combustion engines powered by hydrogen, fuel cells, hybrid and electric vehicles, electric energy storage batteries, eco-design, digitization, industry 4.0, circular economy, autonomous and intelligent vehicles, the energy simulation of vehicles with various propulsion sources, the multifactorial analysis of the life cycle and the evolution of the vehicle fleet according to the perspective of the decarbonization of road traffic, traffic and road safety, new materials and technologies, historical landmarks and the evolution of the automobile, are interesting, captivating and attractive topics that will be analyzed with professionalism and scientific competence in the papers that will be presented by specialists in automotive and transport engineering, from 18 countries from Europe, Americas, Asia and Africa, in the plenary and technical sessions of the International Congress of Automotive and Transport Engineering EAEC – CONAT 2024.
Organized by Transilvania University of Brasov, together with SIAR, EAEC, SAE International, and supported by CRIFST – Romanian Academy and ASTR – Romanian Academy of Technical Sciences, the EAEC – CONAT 2024 Congress benefits from technical and logistical support provided by companies and institutes representative research for the automotive industry, such as Schaeffler, Siemens, Star Assembly, Autoliv, Renault Group, AVL, FEV, Seebert Technologie, INAS, ALSECA Engineering, AMTECH, Spectromas, RAR, AKA, and professional organisation like ACAROM and UNTRR.
In order to ensure a transfer of information and technical and scientific expertise to the future generation of specialists, the congress provides a platform for automotive students and "Formula Student" teams from Romania to present their academic projects, scientific works and technical creations.
The EAEC-CONAT 2024 Congress also celebrates the 75th anniversary of the founding of the Faculty of Mechanical Engineering of Transilvania University of Brasov and the first academic study program in the field of Automotive Engineering in Romania.
The congress preparation program required mobilization and determination from the team of the Department of Automobiles and Transports of Transilvania University, and our partners and collaborators. We thank everyone for their involvement and dedication.
