Ground Vehicle Standards Development

We Set the World's Mobility Standards


With its long-standing standards development activities dating back to 1905, SAE International facilitates industry, government, and academia collaboration on standards which cover the design, engineering, manufacturing, and testing of vehicles and their components. This allows, SAE International, to advance mobility knowledge and solutions for the benefit of humanity.

The voluntary participation of thousands of technical professionals from around the world serving on more than 530 technical committees has helped make SAE International the largest and most respected authority on vehicle engineering standards and their development.
