[highwayBoss]

Hey everyone,

I wanted to open a discussion on the latest news in heavy machinery, including any innovations, recalls, or global developments you've come across. With 2025 in full swing, we’re seeing a wave of new tech, from autonomous dozers to hybrid excavators, but it's hard to keep up with it all. Have you heard of any recent equipment recalls or updates from major manufacturers like Caterpillar, Komatsu, or Volvo? I’m also curious how these changes are impacting operations, fleet decisions, or job safety. Feel free to drop articles, opinions, or firsthand experiences, let’s keep each other informed!

Heavy machinery tech is evolving fast! Autonomous dozers and hybrid excavators are definitely making waves, but keeping up with recalls and updates from major brands is key. Anyone seeing big shifts in fleet management or job safety because of these innovations?

Caterpillar just rolled out an upgraded remote ops system for its D10 dozer, huge for safety in high-risk zones. Also heard Komatsu is expanding its electric lineup in Europe. Anyone else notice how telematics data is changing how fleets are being maintained and scheduled lately?

Crazy how fast things are moving, those remote ops upgrades from Cat sound like a big win for safety. Telematics is game-changing too!
