About the Client

An off-road equipment manufacturer adapting its vehicle platforms to meet new emission norms as part of a regulatory compliance and sustainability initiative. The client required an engineering partner to manage electrical system changes across multiple domains and suppliers under tight timelines.

The Challenge

To meet updated emission regulations, the client had to modify its existing platform while ensuring that all electrically interfaced systems—especially those connected to the engine and emission control units—were revalidated. The changes had to be managed across multiple part suppliers and development centers before production cut-off dates.

Key challenges included:

• Compliance-driven electrical system redesign across legacy platforms
• Coordinating component updates with multiple part suppliers
• Tight timelines tied to production and regulatory enforcement schedules
• Multi-domain coordination across powertrain, electrical, and software teams

The Solution

We provided end-to-end engineering support covering system evaluation, component selection, and complete electrical integration planning.

Key solution components included:

• Review and analysis of existing vehicle electrical architecture
• Identification of components impacted by emission regulation changes
• Selection and specification of new/modified electrical parts:
  • Engine interface modules
  • Emission-related control systems
  • Vehicle-side components
• Load analysis and distribution updates to accommodate new hardware
• Definition of new software change specifications
• CAN network message mapping, re-routing, and distribution
• Updated vehicle-level schematics and system-level documentation
• Final work package handover ready for client validation and production rollout

The Impact

The project enabled the client to meet emission compliance targets while preserving program timelines and minimizing disruption:

• On-time electrical system integration supporting compliance deadlines
• Improved system reliability through detailed load balancing and network mapping
• Reduced program risk through multi-location engineering collaboration
• Streamlined supplier coordination for part and software alignment
• Demonstrated expertise in emission compliance engineering for off-road platforms
