The 2nd AAI Summit
The second AAI Summit was held on November 25th and 26th, 2013 in Bali, Indonesia. Seven countries, eight institutes, and a total of 35 people participated in the summit, including institute presidents and vice-presidents. India, Indonesia, Malaysia, Japan and Thailand joined the 1st AAI Summit and again in the second. China and Vietnam were new participants for the 2nd AAI Summit. Here are the participant institutes:
China:China Automotive Technology & Research Center (CATARC)
China Automotive Engineering Research Institute Co., Ltd. (CAERI)
India:The Automotive Research Association of India
Indonesia:Indonesian Automotive Research and Development Institute(INARD)
Japan:Japan Automobile Research Institute (JARI)
Malaysia:Malaysian Institute of Road Safety Research (MIROS)
Thailand:Thailand Automotive Institute (TAI)
Vietnam:Viet Nam Register (VR)
The AAI Summit aims to contribute to the establishment of a healthy automobile society in Asia and mutual understanding among the institutes. The 2nd AAI Summit included an institutional development session and 4 sessions (Researchers Exchange, Emission, Safety and EV) based on requests from the 1st AAI Summit. Experts exchanged opinions on specific projects.
The summit resulted in understanding the actual situation of the institutes and finding diversity among the countries due to their different backgrounds. The proposal of feasible and reasonable measures according to each country’s differing situations was encouraged. The participants agreed that data establishment/accumulation and improvement of research level were very important. The participants achieved consensus, especially on continuous efforts for reduction of energy consumption, traffic accidents and a better air quality due to motorization. Thailand will be a candidate to host the next AAI Summit.
