Eaton’s Mobility Group has introduced a new generation of multiplexed and wireless vehicle control technologies designed to improve durability, flexibility, and digital connectivity for on- and off-highway applications.

The company said the solutions use standardized, reprogrammable architectures that allow equipment manufacturers to deploy a common control system across multiple vehicle platforms, reducing the need for customized designs.

Eaton’s multiplexed switch technology replaces traditional electromechanical systems with digital interfaces that enable multiple modules to communicate over a single data bus. This reduces wiring complexity, installation time, and vehicle weight, while improving diagnostics and operator feedback.

Because the systems are software-driven, switches can be reprogrammed through updates, allowing OEMs and fleets to adapt vehicle functions to regulatory, seasonal, or job-site requirements without redesigning wiring harnesses or control panels.

The control solutions are sealed to withstand water, dust, mud, and extreme temperatures, and are designed to deliver hundreds of thousands of reliable switch cycles, the company said. Eaton’s wireless control technologies complement the in-cab systems by enabling safe remote operation of high-value equipment, with rugged housings, customizable feedback, and fail-safe logic for demanding field conditions.
