Equipment manufacturers increasingly are launching full-electric and diesel-electric vehicles to respond to market demands and to reduce carbon footprints. Electrifying off-highway platforms does not mean that hydraulics will be completely replaced by electric motors, however. To maximize the advantages of both hydraulic and electric technology, suppliers are developing a new generation of hydraulic pumps, valves, and electronic controls that are compact and provide the required performance.
This 60-minute webinar from the editors of Truck & Off-Highway Engineering will explore the engineering and implementation of advanced electrohydraulic systems geared toward making diesel- and battery-electric mobile machines more productive and efficient. An audience Q&A session will follow the technical presentation.
Highlights include:
- Electrification challenges in the off-highway market and the exciting transformations happening in hydraulic architectures
- Utilizing electrohydraulic systems to improve overall capability in conventional and electrified machinery
- How electrohydraulic systems introduce previously difficult or impossible control schemes and allow for more sophisticated operation and features
- How we can improve the quality of off-highway electrohydraulic systems through lessons learned from other sectors, from traditional automotive and aerospace to industrial automation
- How the industry is adapting to meet demands for greater efficiency and electrification head-on
