Heavy-Duty Off-Road and Specialty Vehicles

Machines, Motion and controls 1

Engineering heavy-duty vehicles for Off-Road or Special-Purpose commercial applications, while obeying the same underlying engineering priciples, is a vastly different marketplace. Our customers are concerned with utilization, ruggedness, cost, parts availability, field repair, low-volume manufacturing, and many more factors that act to differentiate the engineering culture and have a direct effect on how these vehicles are designed.

We have direct experience working with our customers in this market and can speak directly to your concerns.

Whether your market is the Commercial Vehicle (from eMobility to Heavy Vehicle), Passenger Vehicles, or Personal Transportation, you can believe in TSI to carry your project through to a successful completion.


We have an extensive platform-level development portfolio in the Transportation and Mobility marketplace. Contact us for a customized presentation that will cover recent project solutions and experience that will speak directly to today's challenges.
