Design teams take a holistic view, linking engines, transmissions, hydraulics, and aftertreatment systems to boost efficiency and performance.
The need to trim fuel consumption and emissions is forcing design teams to take a broader look at equipment operations, linking various systems so they work together closely. Engines, transmission, hydraulics, and even aftertreatment systems share data so that demands and power output are coordinated for optimal performance.
Advanced electronics are being used to analyze ambient temperature and many other parameters making it possible to make the most of every drop of fuel. The benefits extend beyond fuel consumption, even extending component lifetimes by reducing friction.
