Engineers and technical experts association SAE International, US, has completed the beta test phase of its new Global Technology Library – Electric Vehicle database. Set for a full release at the end of June, the database is projected as the prime place to investigate, understand and explore vehicle electrification worldwide. Built on the success of SAE’s Digital Library platform, the Global Technology Library – Electric Vehicle provides perspectives on competitive news; market performance; private and government research; intellectual property developments; and proposed and enforced international regulations.
The types of content will include SAE technical papers and standards, SAE eBooks and SAE magazine content. In addition, the resource will also contain data from sources outside of SAE International, including global regulations, patents and patent applications, news articles and market forecasts and industry reports.
Much of that information will be made available through content partnership agreements between SAE International and other publishers.
The beta test included private reviews and product tests by several industry experts representing OEM’s, suppliers, government agencies and private research labs. Such experts provided feedback during the development phase of the product and the beta testers’ feedback will be incorporated into the final design.
