Expert Stage – Specialist Topics

Environment and Safety

The off-highway sector is on the cusp of the circular economy. Design, choice of materials and innovative marketing strategies are driving innovation throughout the entire value chain.

Innovative drive technologies

The desire to boost productivity and reduce the environmental footprint is a key issue. Alternative propulsion technologies, with which the latest generation of mobile machinery is equipped, make a decisive contribution to this.

Networking and automation

How can we reach the next level of autonomy? The starting point is high-performance assistance systems for mobile machinery, which ensure greater safety and efficiency in fields and on building sites.

Digital Services

Condition monitoring and predictive maintenance are key issues for the off-highway markets. The information gathered via diagnostic apps also offers great potential in engineering, sales and after-sales service.
