Standards of road construction machinery to rise
THE ASSOCIATION of Equipment Manufacturers (AEM) and SAE International have agreed to provide funding assistance to the road construction sector.
The agreement involves a resolve to take a more comprehensive approach to standards-development in the off-road equipment industry.
The partnership with SAE transfers financial costs from individual companies to AEM on behalf of the industry, and continues the support of important industry-related standards work.
The association says the partnership will provide long term value to manufacturers and all industry stakeholders by providing more clearly defined US standards.
