This presentation extends DHC and EREV to the off-highway domain as a diversified strategy combining electrified platforms with flexible, low-carbon power generation. The dedicated hybrid cycle (DHC) provides breakthrough thermal efficiency (>20% improvement over Otto cycle) and fuel-agnostic design (hydrogen, methanol, ammonia, biofuels) enables a compact, high-efficiency range extender that preserves the zero-emission electric drivetrain while eliminating refueling infrastructure anxiety. The DHC-enabled extended-range electric (EREV) concept, powered by renewable fuels, offers an optimal bridge and long-term solution for high-duty-cycle off-highway applications.

• Per NACFE's real-world study: how duty cycle, terrain and infrastructure shape technology suitability, and how this applies to off-highway decision-making
• Insight into a breakthrough fuel-agnostic DHC engine technology that can serve as a high-efficiency range extender for electric off-highway platforms
• A strategic framework for combining electrification with renewable fuels to achieve deep decarbonization without compromising operational productivity
• Engineering study examples and a forward-looking technology roadmap for the next decade of off-highway powertrain evolution.
