ON-HIGHWAY MACHINERY ISN'T OUR USUAL CUP OF TEA, BUT SOME OF THE LATEST DEVELOPMENTS IN HEAVY-DUTY VEHICLE DRIVELINE TECHNOLOGY - SOME OF WHICH WILL NO DOUBT BE IN EVIDENCE AT THE IAA THIS SEPTEMBER - ARE WELL WORTH PAYING ATTENTION TO Given the recent spate of headlines about wi-fi-linked 'platoons' of commercial trucks and related developments of misleadingly described 'driverless' or 'autonomous' vehicles, a casual observer could be forgiven for assuming that the advanced engineering departments of the major truck manufacturers are doing scarcely anything but work related to the Internet of Things. It is certainly true that the potential for improving the efficiency of increasingly intelligent digital connections - not least through advanced condition monitoring systems (see On The Road Again, p62) - is a top engineering priority.
