Today’s episode is part of a special series were doing to focus on the cutting-edge fluid power technologies and customer solutions on display at the 2024 iVT EXPO.

iVT EXPO is an annual exposition for the off high vehicle design and engineering community, with exhibits that are highly focused on a number of key technologies, including new powertrains, electric and hybrid systems, control systems, sensors, and autonomous technologies. Hydraulics serve as a key enabling technology for these vehicles and many of these systems, iVT EXPO offers an ideal platform for growth and expansion of hydraulics, both in its affiliated education program and on its show floor.

On today’s show, our guest is Russ Schneidewind. Russ is the Director of Business Development at HydraForce. HydraForce designs, manufactures, and markets hydraulic cartridge valves, custom manifolds, and electro-hydraulic controls for use in industrial and mobile equipment applications worldwide. We’ve had Russ on the podcast before to discuss the products that HydraForce showed at their booth at IFPE 2023. Today, we invited Russ into our forum to learn about the applications that HydraForce will be showcasing at their exhibit at iVT EXPO.
