The enormous increase in electronic systems of off-highway vehicles, together with more sophisticated demands on power and design, has raised plenty of new engineering challenges. Employing an electronic control system opens up new ways to implement mechatronic solutions. New functions can be realized by simply adapting the software. This guarantees a high degree of flexibility and extensibility, thus making the technology best suited for future industry requirements.
Reliability even under the extremely harsh conditions encountered by off-highway vehicles represents a specific challenge to technology. TTControl-TTTech Off-Highway and Prinoth AG by Leitner Snow cooperated by equipping Prinoth’s top-of-the-line “Leitwolf” (German for ”leader of the pack” or alpha wolf) snow groomer with TTControl’s electronic control system. For reasons of safety and economy, this highly maneuverable snow groomer has been equipped with an advanced control system.
Prinoth’s Leitwolf marks the beginning of a new generation of snow groomers, equipped with state-of-the-art technology.
