What is the SAE UtilityAdvance Challenge™?
Through the SAE UtilityAdvance™ Challenge, universities will think critically about relevant emerging technology issues relevant to the commercial vehicle and logistics industry. Teams of university students will apply engineering and problem solving techniques to propose a solution to a timely and relevant issue in the commercial space.
