Smarter hydraulics: Power efficient, intelligent off-highway machine performance

20 Aug 2026
Room 12
NFPA, Day 2
As mobile and electrified machines evolve, hydraulic efficiency has become a critical driver of machine performance, operating costs, battery size, runtime, and sustainability. This presentation demonstrates how equipment manufacturers can achieve significant energy savings by focusing on system-level optimization before component selection. Through energy mapping, duty-cycle analysis, intelligent controls, pressure-loss reduction, gravity-assisted functions, and optimized machine architectures, organizations can reduce energy consumption, lower total cost of ownership, and improve machine productivity. Real-world case studies highlight measurable efficiency gains, proving that strategic electrohydraulic design delivers both competitive advantage and long-term value.
