	SEMA's Powertrain Forum is a must-attend session for members involved with current and future powertrain technologies, OEM strategies for meeting fuel-economy and emissions standards and the impact on their products, revenue streams and business plans.

Powertrain technology advancements will continue at an unprecedented level for the next decade as OEMs strive to meet aggressive 2025 fuel-economy targets that are driven by new regulations. These changes will create new challenges and opportunities for performance aftermarket companies. Advanced powertrain technologies will significantly increase vehicle complexity, making it harder, more costly and more time consuming for SEMA-member manufacturers that must comply with the latest emissions requirements.

SEMA's Powertrain Forum—scheduled for Tuesday, November 4, from 11:00 a.m.–12:30 p.m., in rooms N258–N260 of the Las Vegas Convention Center—is a must-attend session for members interested in current and future powertrain technologies, OEM strategies for meeting fuel-economy and emissions standards, and the impact on their products, revenue streams and business plans.

Attendance is free but registration is required.

The Forum will include an overview of the SEMA-Clemson Vehicle Emissions Projects and SEMA’s Emissions Lab and Executive Order (EO) Program for vehicle compliance, as well as baseline vehicle information to help members predict the impact of aftermarket powertrain modifications on vehicle emissions.

Batman was driving on the streets of Detroit, and the shooters at KGP Photography caught the best all-angles look yet at the new Batmobile.

These latest shots go beyond the murky leaked ones, or the cropped or covered official shots, providing an all-encompassing view of the Dark Knight's imposing new ride. These tightly cropped shots, along with wider-angle views, give some perspective of the Batmobile's size compared to, say, a Ford Focus.

The 2014 SEMA Show Mobile App makes navigating the annual event easier than ever with features, such as exhibitor lists, seminar schedules, event listings, route generators and more.

“This is not your ordinary trade show app,” said Peter MacGillivray, SEMA vice president of communications and events. “Our new app is built to help move attendees around the Show as efficiently as possible so that they can see more great products, while helping exhibitors fill their day with quality meetings. We can’t wait for everyone to benefit from it.”

The mobile app includes traditional features, such as a customizable schedule of events, searchable list of exhibitors, and connectivity to the most popular social media sites. The most dynamic feature, however, is the “Locate Me” option that pinpoints the location of users at the SEMA Show and provides turn-by-turn directions to any place on the Show floor.

“Attendees at the SEMA Show want to spend their time meeting with exhibitors. The last thing anyone wants to do is spend their time trying to track down a specific booth,” said MacGillivray.

The 2014 SEMA Show Mobile App is available free of charge through iTunes and Android stores. Those who downloaded previous SEMA Show apps will need to download a new one. Those whose mobile devices are not compatible with traditional apps can access a web version.
