Mike Terzo, founder and CEO of Terzo Power Systems, told Power & Motion that traditional fluid power and electromechanical systems all will find a place in the future. “The reality is that it's not going to be one or the other. I think fluid power will lose some ground in some applications,” he said, “but it's actually going to gain ground in others because we actually can now per a given cost point, we can actually now grab some hydraulic ground back from electromechanical. So, it’s interesting; that's why it's such an exciting time to be in this industry.”
