The 6DF IMU 6-D Motion Variant provides six dimensional motion sensing over six degrees of freedom by sensing translational movement in three perpendicular axes (surge, heave, sway) and rotational movement in three perpendicular axes (roll, pitch, yaw).

Inertial measurement sensors improve efficiency, safety in farm equipment

Designed to be an alternative to urea-based SCR systems, the Hydrocarbon Lean NOx Catalyst (HC-LNC) uses either diesel fuel or ethanol as the dosing reductant.

Aftertreatment before it’s an afterthought

HybriDrive captures energy generated during braking events and transforms it into electrical energy that is stored and used when necessary to supplement engine power. Supplementing engine power with the stored electrical energy for vehicle acceleration or when the engine needs to work hard keeps the engine running at its most efficient point for maximum fuel efficiency.
