HYDAC to showcase integrated systems strategy at iVT Expo USA 2026

HYDAC will use iVT Expo USA 2026 to pitch its Integrated Systems Approach for off-highway OEMs as electrification, automation and software-driven machine design raise engineering complexity. The company will also show a skid steer with integrated HYDAC technologies and deliver two technical presentations at the conference.

Why it matters: - Off-highway OEMs are being pushed to design machines around integrated performance, not just individual components. - Electrification, automation, connected hydraulics and software integration are changing how mobile equipment is engineered. - HYDAC is positioning its system-level engineering approach as a way to reduce development risk, improve machine performance and increase lifecycle value.

What happened: - HYDAC said it will highlight its Integrated Systems Approach at iVT Expo USA 2026. - The company will be at Booth 510 during the event. - HYDAC will also display an OEM skid steer equipped with integrated hydraulic, filtration, cooling, sensing, electronic and control technologies. - Product managers will deliver two technical presentations during the conference on integrated systems engineering and functional safety for off-highway equipment. - HYDAC directs visitors to more information about its mobile equipment solutions.

The details: - HYDAC’s Integrated Systems Approach combines three engineering disciplines: fluid power engineering, controls and electronics engineering, and application and system engineering. - Fluid power engineering covers hydraulic performance, filtration, thermal management, accumulators and energy efficiency. - Controls and electronics engineering integrates sensors, controllers, software and machine intelligence to monitor, automate and optimize system performance. - Application and system engineering combines those technologies into complete machine solutions for specific applications. - HYDAC says the approach evaluates how systems interact to improve machine behavior rather than treating technology separately. - The company says it works with OEMs early in the design process to define machine objectives and identify opportunities for system optimization. - HYDAC says more than 60 years of engineering expertise support the approach across the full machine. - The company’s broader portfolio includes fluid power, filtration, cooling, electronics, controls, accumulators, sensors and integrated system solutions for mobile and industrial applications.

Between the lines: - The message reflects a broader shift in off-highway equipment toward system integration and software-heavy design. - HYDAC is aiming to be seen less as a parts supplier and more as an engineering partner. - That positioning matters because OEMs facing tighter efficiency, reliability and regulatory demands may want fewer disconnected vendors and more cross-discipline support. - The booth demo suggests HYDAC wants to make the case with a real machine, not just technical claims.

What's next: - HYDAC will use iVT Expo conversations to discuss machine efficiency, hydraulic-electronic integration, thermal management and condition monitoring. - The company will continue pitching the Integrated Systems Approach as a way to build smarter and more reliable off-highway equipment. - Visitors can meet HYDAC at Hall F, Booth 510 during iVT Expo USA 2026.
