SAE MOBILUS is the platform for research and full-text access to technical papers, standards, eBooks, magazines and scholarly journals. The search index references not only SAE publications, but also publications from other associations and publishers in the field of mobility technology (e.g. VDA – German Association of the Automotive Industry). SAE MOBILUS supports new ideas and networks the mobility community. In addition, SAE MOBILUS also offers topic-specific eBook collections in cooperation with Wiley Verlag on the topics of aerospace and automotive, computer systems and cyber security.


SAE Knowledge Hubs (e.g. Cyber Security, Advanced Manufacturing and Powertrain) are the central access point to information on new mobility technologies, industry information, training and the latest news. Also included are insights from technology thought leaders and entrepreneurs as well as regulatory innovations and standards.


Additive manufacturing is the hot topic in the industry. Many standardization organizations already have corresponding working groups. At SAE, a corresponding working group for the Aerospace Material Specifications (AMS) began its work three years ago and has now published the first four standards:

  • AMS7000: Laser-Powder Bed Fusion (L-PBF) Produced Parts, Nickel Alloy, Corrosion and Heat-Resistant, 62Ni – 21.5Cr – 9.0Mo – 3.65Nb Stress Relieved, Hot Isostatic Pressed and Solution Annealed
  • AMS7001: Nickel Alloy, Corrosion and Heat-Resistant, Powder for Additive Manufacturing, 62Ni – 21.5Cr – 9.0Mo – 3.65Nb
  • AMS7002: Process Requirements for Production of Metal Powder Feedstock for Use in Additive Manufacturing of Aerospace Parts
  • AMS7003: Laser Powder Bed Fusion Process

SAE International is today one of the leading professional associations for mobility technologies. In addition to developing standards and creating material specifications, the association also publishes technical reports (which are also presented at SAE’s numerous conferences), books and magazines on an ongoing basis.

SAE supports medical assistance in air transportation with the free availability of the transportation standards in this area. Access the transportation guidelines here.

SAE EDGE™ research reports provide current and industry-standard research on the most important topics in today’s mobility industry, including connected and automated vehicle technologies, electrification and new manufacturing methods. To date, 17 research reports have been published. The reports provide engineers and scientists with a very good overview of the state of research.

SAE International has a new preprint server, MobilityRxiv, on which previously unpublished articles and research papers on the topics of mobility and transportation can be published. Publication on SAE MobilityRxiv is free of charge. Manuscripts and work reports that are not intended for publication in specialist journals or at conferences can also be published here. All digital contributions are given a DOI (Document Object Identifier) so that they can be cited.

SAE International Standard J1939 DBC file (Data Base Container) is a generic database file based on the SAE J1939 standard. It contains the rules and definitions for translating CAN bus (Controller Area Network) messages into physical values. This file is often used in vehicle diagnostics and development to analyze and interpret communication between electronic control units (ECUs). It covers a wide range of J1939 data such as signals, parameter groups (PGNs) and messages. Further information on this topic can be found at SAE Shared Mobility.

With the newly announced SAE International Journal on Sustainable Transportation, Energy, Environment & Policy, SAE now publishes 13 journals.
