Welcome Message 

FISITA President, Dr. Akihiko Saito 

This year we are celebrating the 60 th anniversary of FISITA 

- 60 years of a congress that has become one of the most 

important dates in the international 

auto calendar. 

Throughout that time, we in the auto industry have been 

no strangers to pressure. Pressure from customers, pressure 

from competitors and increasingly pressure from policy-makers. 

But few would disagree that it is now more intense 

than ever before. 

Last year more than 70 million vehicles were manufactured 

worldwide. Global demand for personal mobility 

continues to grow in the developing markets, hand-in-hand 

with heightened public concern about the effects of CO 2 

emissions on climate change. Then there are the associated 

challenges we face in areas like safety and traffic congestion. 

The world, as always, turns to engineers to square 

this circle. Our theme for this congress the Future of Automobiles 

and Mobility is more than just words. We really 

are fighting to secure a sustainable future for our industry 

and for the planet. 

As we prepare for this Congress, we are all wrestling with 

the question of how to meet tough new emissions targets 

in the US, European Community and in Asia. Many of the 

alternative powertrain and fuel technologies, which we 

hope to use in order to reach these targets, are incredibly 

complex and take us right to the limits of current engineering 

knowledge. 

At times, the demands placed on us as automotive engineers 

can seem almost impossible. But take a moment to 

consider what we have already achieved. 

Exhaust emissions have been cut by an average of 85% 

since 1990. Today’s passenger cars have achieved a double-digit 

reduction in CO 2 emissions since 1995, despite 

the impact of safety regulations on vehicle weight and the 

increasing consumer preference for larger vehicles. And talking 

of safety, road traffic fatalities have decreased by 30% 

in the last 25 years, despite vast increases in the number of 

vehicles on the world’s roads during that time. 

These are great achievements of which we automotive engineers 

can be proud. They also give us confidence in solving 

the tough technical challenges we face today. 

The automotive industry leads the world in R&D investment, 

spending around EUR 85 billion globally. If we were 

a country, we would be the world’s 6 th largest economy. 

No other industry does more to address the environmental 

impact of its products and as automotive engineers we can 

claim to be working at the cutting edge in countless technologies 

which will benefit society as 

a whole. 

In 1948 FISITA was founded under the motto “Progressons 

en Commun - Together we Progress”. 60 years later 

FISITA and the automobile have both progressed beyond 

recognition but the motto still holds true. Our Federation, 

which began with five founding members, now unites the 

engineering societies in 38 countries who share the belief 

that we can secure our future through innovation and 

collaboration. We can find the answers needed to make 

personal mobility even cleaner, safer and more affordable 

for everyone. But only if we work together. 

This September we will assemble the best minds in the 

industry to exchange ideas, share knowledge and push 

the boundaries of automotive technology - just as we did 

in 1948. With this, our 32 nd congress, we offer you the 

chance to be inspired by some truly exceptional technical 

presentations and to gain an expanded perspective on the 

new technologies which are driving our industry. Just as 

importantly, we give you the opportunity to build relationships 

with the customers, suppliers and expert technology 

partners who can help you and your company to flourish in 

this demanding climate. 

I firmly believe that this Congress will be a major step towards 

our shared goal of sustainable development, contributing 

to the happiness and prosperity of us all. 

I hope that you will find plenty to interest you in this programme 

and I look forward to meeting you in Munich 

in September.

At the 2006 FISITA Congress in Yokohama, special sessions concentrated 

for the first time on Vehicle Safety Communications. During the 2008 

FISITA Congress, progress on this important subject will be presented in 

a special session on the afternoon of Tuesday 16 September. The session 

will be jointly organised by PIARC and FISITA as part of a Memorandum of 

Understanding between the two associations. It will focus on the need for 

more active co-operation between the world’s automotive engineers (represented 

by FISITA) and the public sector road / transportation infrastructure 

builders and operators (represented by PIARC) with support from the global 

Intelligent Transport Systems (ITS) community. 

13:30 - 15:30

Dining out in Munich 

The heart of Munich is the Marienplatz with the New 

Town Hall (Neues Rathaus), built 1867 - 1909 in the 

Flanders Gothic style. Its belltower houses the world-famous 

Glockenspiel, which was created in 1908. The figures 

of the carillon show different parts of Munich’s history. The 

upper part depicts a joust which was 

arranged for the marriage of Duke Wilhelm V. and Renata 

of Lothringen. The lower part of the carillon shows one 

of Munich’s traditional dances, the “Schäfflertanz”. 

Next to the Marienplatz you can experience “Bayerische 

Gemuetlichkeit” in one of the famous beer halls. You can 

enjoy traditional music, tasty Bavarian dishes and, of course, 

a “Maß of Beer” in one of the following restaurants:

hall burned down in 1932 but was rebuilt using the original 

wrought-iron frames and is now a meeting place for old 

and young.

Welcome to Munich 

Munich lies at the foot of the Alps, surrounded by lakes and 

yet this beautiful natural setting is home to a thriving metropolis, 

with more than 1.3 million inhabitants. An eclectic 

mix of the old and the new, Munich is Germany’s third 

largest city and one of the country’s most popular travel 

destinations. Its renowned universities blend tradition with 

a firm focus on innovation and progress. 

A lively cosmopolitan atmosphere is apparent wherever you 

go; on a stroll through the famous Englischer Garten you 

are just as likely to experience the beat of African drummers 

and rhymes of the German rappers as the brass bands for 

which the city is famous. 

From modern art to old masters, from the Philharmonic 

Orchestra to the many intimate jazz cafes and bars, theatre, 

cabaret and ballet, Munich has lots to offer the visitor. No 

matter what you are interested in, whether it’s architecture 

or history, culture or technology, just having fun or relaxing 

in beautiful surroundings, you can find it in Munich. 

The area around the city also offers many places of interest: 

romantic castles, breathtaking scenery, baroque churches, 

tranquil lakes and exciting museums. Take the opportunity 

to experience the best Bavaria has to offer with us 

during the congress cultural programme 

(see page 56). 


Oktoberfest - or the “Wiesn” 

as the locals say 

The world’s biggest beer festival starts right after the 

Congress on Saturday, 20 September and runs until 5 

October 2008 - don’t miss it!!! 

Did you know that the locals refer to the Oktoberfest as 

the ‘Wiesn’, which is a derivative of Theresienwiese, the 

grounds where it is held? Ever since 1810, when Crown 

Prince Ludwig married Princess Therese of Saxony-Hildburghausen, 

and the citizens of Munich were invited to 

attend the festivities held at the fields in front of the city 

gates, the ‘Wiesn’ has become an essential part of Bavarian 

tradition with more than 6 million visitors every 

year. 

The Oktoberfest has much more to offer than exciting roller 

coasters and huge beer tents. The celebration starts with 

the Grand Entrance of the landlords and the magnificent 

horse-drawn drays on Saturday morning before the official 

opening at the stroke of noon, when the first barrel of beer 

is tapped and the traditional cry of ‘Ozapft is’ can be heard 

from the Mayor. 

Munich’s largest and most traditional breweries invite you 

to join the festivities. Drink beer by the litre, eat traditional 

Bavarian food such as giant pretzels with a diameter 

of 15 inches. Listen to live brass bands playing traditional 

Bavarian music as well as more up-to-date music, and enjoy 

yourself with hundreds of other people from all over the 

world, dancing and singing the hours away. 

To find out more visit: www.muenchen.de 

We are offering you to book a table at the opening of the 

Oktoberfest. The package includes the following services: 

Hostess reception and support service 

Table reservation in one of the beer tents 

½ roasted chicken and 2l specially brewed 

Oktoberfest beer per person 

Price per person: EUR 55,00 + 19% VAT 

If you are interested in this package or additional services 

(transfers, Oktoberfest gifts, etc.), we are very happy to 

assist you.

Price: 85 EUR (excludes lunch) 

Lake Ammersee is situated only 30 km southwest of Munich near to the 

beautiful region of the Bavarian Alps. Although it is the third biggest lake 

in Bavaria, it is still relatively unknown, which makes a visit even 

more attractive.

cloisters and castles. 

After visiting the monastery you can examine the famous stuccowork in the

Wednesday 17 September (09:00 - 17:00, approx. 8 hrs) 

Price: 140 EUR (includes lunch and entrance fees) 

The setting of this “Fairytale castle” could not be more perfect. Located on 

a mountain top, the fascinating external design and interior architecture 

reflect the style of German Romanticism in the early 13 th century. The entire 

complex has been lined with limestone ashlars from the nearby quarry 

“Alter Schroffen”. 

Seven weeks after the death of King Ludwig II in 1886 Neuschwanstein 

was opened to the public. Every year it attracts 1.3 million people and in 

summer more than 6000 visitors a day stream through rooms that were 

intended for a single inhabitant. After visiting the castle you will visit the 

famous Wieskirche, which has been an UNESCO World Heritage site 

since 1983. 

OP-5

Sailing ships, models of atoms, windmills, space probes, diesel locomotives, 

industrial robots, organs, lifeboats - this unbelievable abundance of technical 

achievement - and lots more - can be found in the “German Museum” right 

in the city centre of Munich. A house of superlatives: it is not only one of 

the leading scientific-technological museums in the world, but also one of 

the most frequently visited, and with an area of 50,000 square metres the 

biggest of all. 

OP-6 and OP-7

1664. The cube shaped building with its exterior staircase forms the foundation 

of this wide baroque complex and visitors can take a walk in the 

beautiful park. The interior of the palace is also well worth a visit; especially

Students & Young Engineers 

The 32 nd FISITA World Automotive Congress includes two special programmes for students and young engineers: the Student 

Congress and the Travelling Fellowship Programme. 

Students and young engineers have applied to participate in either programme and are going to present a technical paper at the 

congress. These papers are marked with [SC] in the technical programme (see pages 25-47). The topics of the papers are the 

same as those for the main congress. 

FISITA Student Congress 

The Student Congress runs parallel to the main congress in 

room 11 and gives engineering students the opportunity to 

meet in a technical forum with their peers from all over the 

world. Students and young engineers are going to present 

and discuss their technical papers and also have the opportunity 

to attend the main congress including the Plenary 

Sessions, where they can meet with some of the world’s 

most influential engineers, designers and experts. Delegates 

attending the main congress are also able to attend the student 

presentations. 

Prizes 

FISITA Travelling Fellowship 

FISITA offers young engineers under the age of 35 the opportunity 

to participate in a two week Travelling Fellowship 

Programme. This programme runs from 8–19 September 

2008 (starting one week prior to the main congress). Fellows 

experience exclusive technical tours to automotive 

facilities (e.g. BMW, Daimler, MAN, Technical University 

of Munich) in week one, and then join the Congress in 

week two. The FISITA Travelling Fellowship is an excellent 

opportunity to gain an in-depth understanding of Germany’s 

automotive industry, to take part in a major international 

congress and to mix with other talented young engineers 

from all over the world. 

Participation is limited. Candidates have applied to their 

national FISITA member society who have then selected 

one engineer from their country to be nominated for the 

programme. 

FISITA awards prizes for the three outstanding papers presented at the congress from students and young engineers. 

The awards, presented at the Closing Ceremony of the main congress, are as follows: 

First Prize: 1000 EUR + Certificate 

Second Prize: 700 EUR + Certificate 

Third Prize: 500 EUR + Certificate 


FISITA Education Initiatives 

FISITA supports a range of successful education programmes aimed at encouraging young people to pursue their careers in automotive 

engineering and guarantee the future of our industry. We will be showcasing the following initiatives during the FISITA 

2008 congress. Visit us at the Foyer on the 1st floor to find out how you, your company or university could benefit from these 

activities. 

Formula SAE / Formula Student is a series of competitions 

organised by several FISITA member societies around the 

world, in which teams of university students compete to 

design, develop, build and race - small, formula style cars. 

The competitions are among the most popular anywhere 

in the education world - exposing the teams to marketing, 

time management, team building, budgeting and presentation 

skills in addition to applied engineering techniques. 

In 2006, FISITA launched the FISITA Formula SAE World 

Cup, an exciting global competition which brings together 

the winning teams from the various national Formula SAE 

competitions to compete against one another at the same 

event. The winning team from each eligible national competition 

automatically qualifies for a place in the FISITA World 

Cup competition. What’s more, FISITA provides sponsorship 

of up to EUR 10,000 for each national winning team to 

take part in the World Cup event. 

www.fisita.com/formula 

www.formulastudent.de 

FISITA supports Greenpower Formula 24, a unique electric 

car based technology project for secondary schools. 

Now in its tenth year, Formula 24 has grown to become a 

major national programme engaging hundreds of schools 

across the UK. Thousands of pupils aged between 10-18 yrs 

have designed, built and raced their 24-volt racing cars 

on tracks around the UK, sowing the seeds of science, 

maths and engineering in young minds. 

With an established track record in the UK, Greenpower 

Formula 24 is now able to offer a package which can be 

rolled out in countries throughout the world, enabling large 

numbers of students to become involved in a technical 

project which creates the engineers of tomorrow. 

Greenpower will be showing two cars at FISITA 2008, 

along with the components, modules and details on how 

to start your own Formula 24 initiative. Members of the 

Greenpower team will be on hand to explain this 

exciting programme and answer your questions.
