For engineers and product development teams looking to innovate, staying ahead of the latest trends must remain a top priority. To get a leg up on the newest component trends, design developments and industry-driven innovation, OEM Off-Highway has rounded up six recent and upcoming educational opportunities to help industry players stay sharp:
NEXT WEEK: The Benefits of a Battle-Tested Axial Flux EDU for Off-Highway Hybrid & Full-Electric Applications
Axial flux electric drive units (EDUs) are solving the challenges of space and weight limitations and accelerating OEMs’ time to market. Adam Nixon, VP of Engineering at Turntide Technologies, will take attendees on a tour of an axial flux EDU that was recently tested during King of the Hammers Desert Challenge, one of the harshest races in the world.
NEXT WEEK: Eliminating Integration Friction with a Single-Source 48V Power System
Transitioning to electric power is often stalled by the operational burden of managing multiple vendors. When batteries, motors, and controllers come from different suppliers, troubleshooting often leads to finger-pointing and costly production delays. This webinar explores the strategic shift toward an "easy integration" model. Athan Tsokolas will discuss the value of a single-source 48V ecosystem that provides a single point of accountability, ensuring your engineering team can focus on building world-class machines rather than mediating between component suppliers.
ON DEMAND: OEM Industry Summit | Spring 2026
Presented by OEM Off-Highway, this three-day, virtual event brings together knowledgeable industry experts to share insights into a range of topics from electrification to automation to operator environment. The OEM Industry Summit not only covers the latest OEM trends and technologies, but also answer some of the industry's toughest questions.
ON DEMAND: System-Level Electrification and the Integration of Hydraulics Controls and Power Electronics
In partnership with ZAPI Group and its Future of Electrification Conference, this panel brings together Applied Fluid Power and Danfoss Editron to explore how real progress in electrified machines depends on full system integration across hydraulics, controls and electric power systems. Panel experts examine practical lessons from the field, including hydraulic optimization strategies, coordinated control logic, commissioning practices and the engineering decisions that most influence efficiency, reliability and overall machine performance.
ON DEMAND: Perception at the Core: Enabling Next-Generation Precision Agriculture
This webinar explores how next-generation perception technologies are transforming precision agriculture, featuring insights from a panel of experts at TE Connectiivity. From cameras that analyze soil moisture and guide the exact placement of each seed to LIDAR and radar systems that allow tractors to operate reliably through dust, rain, wind, and snow, perception is becoming an essential capability in modern farming.
COMING SOON: OEM Industry Summit | Fall 2026
Presented by OEM Off-Highway, this immersive three-day virtual event is designed to connect industry leaders, innovators, and experts in a collaborative space. The event will offer unique insights and perspectives on the latest trends and cutting-edge technologies driving the OEM landscape, from evolving power sources to advancements in autonomous systems.
