iVT Expo USA brings together various technology suppliers for the off-highway equipment industry to provide attendees with the chance to see components and systems they may be interested in using in their future machine designs.
Among the technologies on display at the 2026 edition will be electronics, such as sensors and control units, human machine interface (HMI) devices, batteries and more. Many of these components are now working alongside today’s fluid power systems, either directly or indirectly, on mobile machinery.
Electrification, for instance, has prompted the pairing of hydraulics, batteries and electric motors to create hybrid- and full-electric systems. Meanwhile, technologies like telematics and internet of things (IoT) devices are increasingly collecting data from various machine systems, including hydraulics, to bring performance and maintenance improvements.
Therefore, it is becoming increasingly important for those developing and working with fluid power systems to have an understanding of the various technologies now being used in conjunction with hydraulics and pneumatics on mobile machinery.
