Engine designers are advancing electronic control systems to eliminate components and generate more power from smaller engines. They also are leveraging networks to integrate transmissions, global satellite inputs and navigation to further improve fuel efficiency.
The push to improve efficiency starts in the minutia of combustion and engine design and extends to integration with other vehicle systems. Engineering enhancements also are making cabs quieter as they work to maximize the burning of every drop of fuel.
