From Machines to Connected Off-Road Systems
As vehicles evolve towards automation, electrification, and data-driven project delivery, we provide electronics that go beyond individual components to deliver connected, intelligent systems that improve productivity, safety, and efficiency across the entire machine lifecycle.
Pektron develops system-level electronic architectures that integrate machine control, connectivity, and user interaction into cohesive platforms.
System capabilities include:
- Machine control systems and electronic control units (ECUs)
- Integrated HMI (Human-Machine Interface) and operator interface systems
- Seamless 360° Vision and Infotainment System for operator and vehicle connectivity, jobsite safety and productivity
- Lighting and smart power distribution systems
- Sensor integration (positioning, load, environment monitoring)
- Connectivity modules for telematics
- Embedded control systems
We take a platform-first approach, enabling scalability across equipment ranges and reducing development complexity.

Supporting Compliance with Evolving Regulations
The regulatory landscape for off-highway vehicles is rapidly changing, particularly with the rise of autonomy and connectivity.
Key developments include:
- EU Machinery Regulation (EU) 2023/1230 introducing new requirements for safety, cybersecurity, and AI-enabled machinery, effective from 2027
- New rules requiring autonomous machines to include remote supervisory control and safe-stop capabilities
- EU 2025/14 type-approval regulations for non-road mobile machinery to harmonise safety and enable cross-border operation on public roads
These changes are redefining how electronics systems must be designed, placing greater emphasis on functional safety, cybersecurity, and system-level integration.
