EXECUTIVE VIEWPOINTS

Off-highway industry executives from companies such as BorgWarner, Perkins, Cummins, and Danfoss reflect upon challenges inside, and outside, the industry, and what technologies, innovations, and strategies will need to be implemented to thrive into the long-term future.

Today's emphasis on improving fuel efficiency and reducing emissions is just the beginning. In the future, increasing productivity will be the most critical trend for the off-highway industry.

In the next 35 years, 2.2 billion people will be added to the world's population, and about 70% are expected to live in urban areas. The coming population explosion means farmers will need to produce more from every acre or hectare, and truckers will need to haul more goods. More buildings, roads, and infrastructure will need to be built in shorter timeframes.
