Economies of (drivetrain) scale
Emissions challenges continue, but engine and transmission
technology is advancing solutions and improving vehicle systems
intergration.
Searching for real-world responses
Prototype testing is constantly changing as electronic technologies
help transform equipment; design processes adjust as digital
development evolves.
Hydraulic brakes on one hand, air brakes on the
other
Building a better brake system had continued to challenge engineers
for more than a century, as a changing world has demanded
correspondingly advanced brake technology.
