Scuderi Group at SAE World Congress 2008 - Day One
The Scuderi Group opened up the first day of the 2008 World Congress on Monday, greeting the throngs of engineers and automotive executives that have flocked to Detroit the annual gathering at the Cobo Center. 
Headlining all the exciting updates around the Scuderi Air-Hybrid Engine was the news about the split-cycle engine's valve train test rig. Results from the independent laboratory developing the prototype showed that the valve train matched all the previous computer simulations and in many cases exceeded expectations around engine efficiency, power and NOx emissions. Exciting news indeed as not only has the valve system been one of the most critical components of the core engine, but it came out even better than expected. With a full exhibit team of engineers, sales, marketing and public relations personnel, the Scuderi Group had a steady flow of engineers wanting to learn more about the engine and the recent testing updates. As usual, the exhibit welcomed its share of media and analysts including editors from Motor Trend, Motor News, Machine Design, Auto Tech News, Global Insight, Automotive Industries, and Engine Technology International, among others. With a good night's sleep behind us, Day Two is expected to be the busiest day of the show and has a full agenda with off-site meetings, more media interviews and the annual Tex-Mex swaree hosted by the Scuderi Group's independent laboratory.
