Protecting Advanced Trucking Electronics in Harsh Environments
05/13/2026 | Beth Massey, MacDermid Alpha Electronics SolutionsFor decades, trucking was defined by horsepower, payload, and driver endurance. Today, the competitive edge lies in electronics, as advanced sensing, communications, and data processing systems reshape how commercial vehicles operate. The industry is rapidly digitizing, with electronic systems now critical to safety, uptime, and fleet efficiency. Technologies like ADAS, radar, lidar, and telematics enable real-time decision-making, while distributed sensors monitor key vehicle functions. Because these systems operate in harsh conditions, environmental protection using potting, coatings, and encapsulation is now a core design priority.
