Mobile Machines

Industrial equipment on the move

Mobile machines bring together mobile industrial equipment from the agriculture, construction and transportation industries. Whether these are tractors used for farming, forestry vehicles, cranes and bulldozers used for construction or long haul and short haul transportation vehicles, they are addressed here.

Topics of concern for these industries include sustainability concerns, a desire to expand their solutions offerings along the value chain and within the ecosystem, ambitions to increase autonomy of vehicles and the introduction of electrification.
