Making sense of engines
Heavy-duty equipment is known for its ruggedness in harsh environments, but vehicles are not neglecting their sensitive side.
The world's fastest digger gets closer
JCB's Dieselmax goes 350 mph and teaches engineers much about engine capability, extreme testing, and program management.
The whole system, and nothing but the system
Properly implemented, an electrohydraulic system can add a great deal of automatic control, advanced performance, advanced diagnostics, and remote monitoring to a mobile application.
Regenerative hydraulics
The use of multiple hydraulic pumps can satisfy the needs of various circuits in off-highway equipment.
The gas is greener
Biofuels promise to help reduce petroleum cinsumption and CO2 emissions, but much of the potential depends on production and infrastructure investments.
Material returns
Effective use of materials information is important to engineers in development of parts and components.
