- Making sense of engines
Heavy-duty equipment is known for its ruggedness in harsh environments, but vehicles are not neglecting their sensitive side. - The world's fastest digger gets
closer
JCB's Dieselmax goes 350 mph and teaches engineers much about engine capability, extreme testing, and program management. - The whole system, and nothing but the
system
Properly implemented, an electrohydraulic system can add a great deal of automatic control, advanced performance, advanced diagnostics, and remote monitoring to a mobile application. - Regenerative hydraulics
The use of multiple hydraulic pumps can satisfy the needs of various circuits in off-highway equipment. - The gas is greener
Biofuels promise to help reduce petroleum cinsumption and CO2 emissions, but much of the potential depends on production and infrastructure investments. - Material returns
Effective use of materials information is important to engineers in development of parts and components.
