Over the last few decades, there has been a continuing trend toward replacing hydraulically powered equipment on work trucks and other commercial vehicles with electrically powered equipment. This technology shift is the result of a variety of factors, including the need for fuel efficiency and a desire for lighter, more compact vehicle systems.
Switching to electrically powered equipment offers one way for truck builders to reduce weight and minimize the amount of space a system takes up. The growing shift from hydraulics to electricity makes it more important than ever to control the distribution of electrical power effectively.
