SAE Truck & Off-Highway Engineering

February 2017

    • The next phase
      Meeting Phase 2 fuel efficiency and GHG emissions for heavy trucks will require multiple technology pathways-some of which are still on the horizon.
    • Active vibration damping for construction machines
      An innovative concept for an active system to reduce machine oscillations based on frequency identification.
    • Consumer electronics come on board
      Smartphones and tablets are likely to play a large role in HMIs for heavy vehicles-if productivity and safety are not compromised.
    • Patton's new campaign
      As new SAE International President for 2017, Doug Patton will advocate STEM, "cultivation" of prospective young engineers.
    • PACCAR's Sproull primed for SAE Commercial Vehicle post
      As SAE International's new 2017-2020 Commercial Vehicle Sector VP, Landon Sproull intends to bolster the society's involvement in evolving industry regulations and to better cultivate cross-sector alliances.
    • You may have noticed: 'Truck' in the title
    • Glowing aerodynamic add-ons could boost big-rig fuel economy by 7-10%
    • SAE Standards focus for 2017: Cyber, connected vehicle, EV charging, vehicle autonomy
    • Follow the chemistry to better CFD combustion simulations
    • Churning toward stronger, more uniform aluminum casts
    • Cat 14M3 'most technologically advanced' motor grader for construction
    • What's New at ConExpo & IFPE
    • Dr. Christian Wiehen, Chief Technology Officer for WABCO, discusses ADAS, platooning and automated future for trucks.
