    • HMIs extend beyond the cab
      Telematics functions are being integrated into multi-function user interfaces.
    • Standards step forward in design of off-highway electronics
      Functional safety standards are starting to impact many development projects, while the auto industry's AUTOSAR standard is being deployed to help enable software reuse and simplify designs.
    • Leveraging automotive lightweighting techniques to improve off-highway emissions
      Where systems engineers can gain efficiencies in off-highway equipment is agnostic, they'll take it anywhere, and so they should, but one of the ways, often underestimated, is through the use of strong and lightweight advanced materials.
    • Waste heat recovery for the long haul
      A WHR system based on an organic Rankine cycle has been developed for a long-haul Iveco Stralis truck.
