Designing electrification for heavy-duty off-highway equipment

19 Aug 2026
Electrification and alternate fuels
Off-highway machinery pushes electrification systems harder than most road vehicles. Equipment operates under continuous load, often in remote environments where charging infrastructure is limited. This session examines practical approaches to electrifying construction, agriculture and mining equipment using lessons from defense, transit and commercial vehicle programs. Attendees will learn how to design battery systems, hybrid architectures and worksite energy strategies that support real duty cycles while maintaining reliability and productivity in demanding environments.
  • How to design battery systems for heavy equipment duty cycles and continuous load environments
  • Practical charging strategies for worksites with limited or no grid infrastructure
  • How hybrid energy systems extend machine uptime and reduce operational risk
  • Common electrification design failures in industrial equipment and how to prevent them
  • How to align energy architecture with real worksite productivity and operator needs
