Switch Technologies for Heavy Duty Trucks

Throughout the 90's there will be continuous progress in switch technology applicable to heavy duty commercial vehicles such as trucks, buses, off-highway construction, agricultural, in many ways similar to that applied to passenger cars. Visibility, recognition of function, ease of function, location and consistence of operation will be principal areas of concern with the foremost being safety and longevity of service.

That portion of the switch behind the dash panel also becomes increasingly important as space becomes more valuable.

Major changes will occur both to the switches themselves as well as the method used for the signals such switches transmit.
