While development of electric vehicles has cooled in some markets, it remains a technology area of focus for many sectors, including several served by fluid power and electromechanical motion technologies such as construction equipment and heavy-duty trucking. As our top piece in today’s newsletter highlights, hydraulics and pneumatics will continue to play an important role as machines become more electrified.
In this archived webinar from 2025, Chris Griffin of Parker Hannifin and Eric Vives from Poclain Hydraulics offer their insights on how expertise in fluid power can actually benefit the transition to electrification.
Other highlights in today’s newsletter include an update on Allison Transmission’s acquisition of Dana’s off-highway business, demonstrating the continued consolidation taking place within the market, as well as a look at how proportional valve technology is evolving to meet the needs of increasingly complex machine designs.
