On the first day of October, the doors of Romexpo opened to inaugurate a new chapter in automotive innovation: the Bucharest Auto Show (SAB) 2024. Over the course of six days, attendees will have the opportunity to explore the future of mobility, where technology, creativity and cutting-edge engineering converge. An exceptional partnership between the Scientific Senate of the Dan Voiculescu Foundation for the Development of Romania and the Bucharest Auto Show (SAB) will bring revolutionary prototypes to the fore, demonstrating the impact of scientific research on the automotive industry and the future of transportation.
Breakthrough technologies for tomorrow's mobility
One of the most eagerly anticipated exhibits at the exhibition is a project by engineering students from the University of "Danunrea de Jos" in Galati. They have developed a go-kart equipped with a four-stroke internal combustion engine. The vehicle has been designed in accordance with the technical and economic constraints of the contemporary automotive industry, and is a miniature replication of a conventional automobile. Following a series of exhaustive trials, the go-kart has exhibited remarkable dependability and capability, and has consequently become a focal point for those with an interest in pioneering developments in mechanical engineering.
Furthermore, visitors will have the opportunity to view a cutting-edge racing car, meticulously designed and optimised by the young Bogdan Ivănică, a noteworthy adolescent who secured a podium position in the National Super Slalom Championship. The vehicle's performance and efficiency illustrate how nascent talent, nurtured by academic institutions and initiatives such as the Dan Voiculescu Foundation for the Development of Romania, can revolutionise the standards of the automotive industry.
Official opening with high-profile guests
The opening ceremony of SAB 2024 was attended by senior government officials, automotive industry leaders, academics and leading researchers. This event represents a pivotal moment for the discourse between the automotive industry, exemplary education and scientific research. The future of mobility is a crucial topic, and collaboration between these sectors is vital to develop sustainable, efficient and innovative solutions.
SAB 2024: Investing in young engineering talent
As a scientific partner of the event and organiser of the SAB 2024 Scholarship, the Scientific Senate of the Dan Voiculescu Foundation for the Development of Romania persists in its investment in the future of Romanian engineers and researchers. Through this initiative, the Scientific Senate reaffirms its commitment to support young people with potential in the development of advanced technologies, thereby facilitating opportunities for development and affirmation in a field that is in a state of constant transformation.
The Bucharest Auto Show 2024 is not only an event dedicated to car enthusiasts, but also a forum for the advancement of knowledge concerning the future of mobility through the processes of innovation, education and research. The event will take place at Romexpo from 1-6 October, and will provide an opportunity to gain insight into the future of mobility.
