- Connectivity takes center stage
Telematic links have become the norm, helping fleet owners and operators improve efficiency and letting OEMs predict component failures. - More power, less noise, fewer emissions
These key attributes drive development of new generators both big and small. - TARDEC pursues advanced power generation
U.S. Army, GM collaborate on fuel-cell-generated electricity to power the vehicle's propulsion system and onboard electronics, while providing off-vehicle power via an Exportable Power Take-Off unit. - Developing an alternative engine concept
Ricardo's CryoPower engine leverages two unique combustion techniques for reduced emissions and fuel consumption-liquid nitrogen and split combustion. Long-haul trucking and stationary power generation will be the first beneficiaries of the technologies. - Technology time-warp
The road to autonomous driving has been under construction for decades, as showcased by SAE's Mobility History Committee at the 2018 WCX in Detroit. - Editorial
