    WARRENDALE, Pa., Oct. 8 /PRNewswire/ -- AVL North America, a Plymouth,
Michigan-based powertrain engineering, instrumentation and simulation software
supplier will sponsor the popular Technology Theater at the SAE 2004 World

high level executives and panels that discuss pressing issues affecting
engineering, technology, and design in the global automotive industry.  The
Technology Theater concept was launched last year at the annual SAE World
Congress event.
    SAE Director of Automotive Business Dave Amati remarked, "We are delighted
to have a leading technology company with global reach like AVL on board with
us as sponsor of the Technology Theater.  We were honored to have Helmut List

another line-up of world-class speakers at this year's event."

about leading edge technology.  The types of topics, technologies and
executives featured in the Technology Theater at SAE World Congress are near
and dear to the heart of what we do."
    AVL will join DENSO North America, Nissan, Motorola, Microsoft, Yazaki,
DuPont, AISIN and Robert Bosch on the growing list of companies sponsoring key
activities and/or exhibiting at the SAE 2004 World Congress.  Several OEMs
have committed to display advanced technologies on the exhibit floor again
this year, including DaimlerChrysler, Ford, and General Motors.
    AVL is the world's largest privately owned and independent company for the
development of powertrain systems with internal combustion engines as well as
simulation and test systems.
    Since 1947, the SAE World Congress has been the world's largest meeting
and exposition devoted to automotive engineering and product technology.  Each
year the world of automotive engineering, design, and technology descends on
Cobo Hall for the SAE World Congress.  It remains the primary forum for the
best and brightest technical talent to meet and exchange ideas with their
peers.
