 Sometimes mandatory, often voluntary, security frameworks are created to provide federal and commercial organizations with an effective roadmap for securing information technology (IT) systems. The goal is to reduce risk levels and prevent or mitigate cyberattacks. To accomplish this task, security frameworks typically provide a series of documented, agreed upon, and understood policies, procedures, and processes necessary to secure the confidentiality, integrity, and availability of information systems and data.

According the Celanese's Jeffrey Helms, engineered material innovations are helping OEMs and their suppliers develop the vehicles of tomorrow with components that not only reduce weight, but also deliver cost savings and help reduce emissions and waste.

The AirLink GX450 mobile gateway from Sierra Wireless incorporates an advanced fleet management feature that enables collection of OBD-II vehicle telemetry data.

Microchip Technology Inc.'s advanced motor control software plug-in for MPLAB X Integrated Development Environment (IDE) features auto tuning and self-commissioning capability.

There is more pressure than ever on heavy-truck engineers to find and create significant improvements in fuel economy and reduce tailpipe greenhouse gas emissions. Aerodynamic opportunities exist with technologies such as active grille shutters and truck platooning—and simulation will help to optimize these designs.

Commercial vehicle designers are using a variety of simulation and validation tools as they attempt to add functions and make additional improvements in systems that are already quite efficient.

The aerospace industry is facing immense challenges due to increased design complexity and higher levels of integration, particularly in the electrification of aircraft. These challenges can easily impact program cost and product time to market. System electrification and electromagnetic compatibility (EMC) have become critical issues today. In the context of 3D electromagnetics, EMC electromagnetic compatibility ensures the original equipment manufacturer (OEM) that radiated emissions from various electronic devices, such as avionics or the entire aircraft for that matter, do not interfere with other electronic products onboard the aircraft.

Engineers push for more efficient, cost-effective, and smaller aftertreatment systems for off-highway diesel engines, addressing challenges such as better particulate filtering and low-temp NOx conversion.

Aftermarket augments off highway autonomous efforts

The EcoFit Single Module takes advantage of innovations in catalyst and urea dosing technologies unique to Cummins Emissions Solutions.

Researchers at the Austrian Institute of Technology have developed a ventilation module for electric delivery trucks that showed it's capable of reducing the heat load by 37% in real-world tests.

Such a system affixed to vehicles with regular routes, such as delivery vans, could mean fresher data for road maintenance planners.

Akasol commercial-vehicle batteries Schulde

Powertrain developers who spoke at SAE COMVEC are leaving no stone unturned in their quest to trim emissions in commercial vehicles and off-highway equipment.

As global emissions regulations tighten, the automotive and marine sectors lean into alternative-fuel development.

Bridgestone's M854 wide-base radial all-position tire is fabricated for severe on/off highway applications.

The 360° Local Situational Awareness System (LSAS) from KTK Kommunikationstechnik and First Sensor consists of four digital HDR-CMOS cameras in specially adapted rugged housings and a software-based video processing unit.

Safe Shift all-wheel drive protection system from Marmon-Herrington (Louisville, KY) is a proprietary electronic control system that prevents damage to axle, driveline, and transfer case components commonly caused by improper operation.

Allison Transmission is offering a new option to fully electrify components used with its H 40/50 EP hybrid propulsion system for transit buses and coaches. Co-developed with Vanner Inc., Increased Accessory Power II provides power from the hybrid system to accessories such as electric air conditioning, electric air compressors, and power steering systems.
