Challenges and Trends for Mobile Work Machines
Sustainability and digitization also play a major role in offroad applications. The demand for electric drive concepts for mobile work machines like excavators, tractors, and municipal vehicles is growing.
There is also an emphasis on increased efficiency, reduced friction, and performance-optimized rolling bearing arrangements for space-saving designs and electromechanical actuators as a replacement for hydraulic systems. Digital tools are used to locate and monitor equipment. Additionally, environmental and operating data can be collected and analyzed to adapt important operating parameters in real time.
