Dave Slaman, General Manager, Valeo North America "The market is very tough at the moment especially for Tier 1s and Tier 2s...we are preserving cash and getting more done with less people...we get it done with existing resources even if that means 80 hour work weeks...there are many choices, many not credible; ARi backed by SAE is very credible." David Cole, Chairman, Center for Automotive Research "One important way we can deal with the expected significant shortage of skilled people is to facilitate the connection of experienced industry leaders to automotive manufacturers and suppliers who have business and technical challenges. In this context, ARi is an important part of SAE. ARi is off to an excellent start with its outstanding leadership team. Its role will grow exponentially during this current economic crisis."
