English.chinabuses.com: A significant amount of new technologies will be introduced into commercial vehicles over the next 7 years. Electronics and especially driver assistance systems are the areas in which the majority of new technologies and related functionalities will be introduced.

However, due to high prices and sometimes-limited perceived benefits a rather slow penetration of these technologies is expected. New technologies in power train and chassis will be launched with substantial volume, as they will not be offered as optional equipment or features but are integral part of new vehicles. Examples are emission reduction technologies such as selective catalytic reduction (SCR), exhaust gas recirculation (EGR) or independent front wheel suspension (IFWS). Focus of product development will shift from adding functionality to reducing vehicle costs and increasing reliability–a different approach regarding innovation is necessary.
