Engine Technology Progress In Japan, a quarterly report from iTEP

inter-Tech Energy Progress, Inc. (iTEP) delivers Japan's latest engine-related technology development in cost-effective reports for all levels of professionals and students in areas of engine, fuel, lubrication, and vehicle research, development, and design and environmental study.

Topics include combustion, emissions, tribology, conventional and alternative fuels, alternative powerplants (EV, HEV, FCEV, gas turbine, etc.), transportation, and more.

Since 1994, iTEP has published, in cooperation with the Society of Automotive Engineers of Japan Inc. (JSAE), Engine Technology Progress In Japan (ETPJ) in three technical areas:

iTEP obtains the latest technical papers published only in Japan at technical conferences held by JSAE and the Japan Society of Mechanical Engineers (JSME) and in journals by various organizations. iTEP selects useful subjects, analyzes and summarizes content, and often includes additional information for increased clarity.

Compared to independent research costs, ETPJ provides the latest and most useful technological information at a fraction of the cost. Click here for What ETPJ Offers to learn more about how ETPJ benefits you.

Three ways to stay informed about Japanese technology development are:

The ETPJ Annual Subscription

A semiannual journal consisting of seven chapters in about 80 pages for each technical area.

$900US for two journals (April and October) each year in Acrobat PDF files per technical area.

Individual ETPJ Chapters

In-depth technological reports by subject starting at $30US per chapter in an Acrobat PDF file.
