Engineering for Uptime: A Blueprint for Commercial Vehicle Transformation

KPIT experts address challenges of maintaining legacy architectures while introducing centralized compute, OTA, new energy platforms and AI layers - driving integration complexity and validation effort.

KPIT Technologies is providing the executive leadership for this year's SAE COMVEC, a forum for global leaders in trucking, construction equipment, agricultural machinery and defense vehicles to address the technologies, regulations and innovations impacting transportation today and in the coming years. The theme for COMVEC 2026 (www.sae.org/events/comvec), which takes place in Schaumburg, Illinois, from September 29 to October 1, is “Resolving Current Challenges While Reimagining the Future.”

“For commercial and off-highway, this theme captures a structural contradiction the industry lives with every day: transform the entire product architecture while continuing to deliver near-zero downtime, tight margins and proven reliability,” Satish Kumar, senior VP at KPIT, said in a pre-event interview with Truck & Off-Highway Engineering.
