On-Road Safety for Off-Road Vehicles
APEM
OEMs of small off-road vehicles need a plug-and-play solution to add durable on-road signaling capabilities to their equipment. A new all-in-one device provides the answer.
Figure 2. Off-road vehicles often have exposed dashes, but they may require fundamental on-road signaling controls. This plug-and-play device is designed to help manufacturers and OEMs provide this functionality without incurring extra development costs.
