The Companies Behind Our Trucks (ConExpo 2026)
We didn't go to ConExpo 2026 just to walk the show floor. We went to meet the companies behind the parts we use on our trucks at Edison Motors and see how they're building equipment that actually holds up in the real world.
Some of what we saw confirmed what we already believe.Some of it gave us new ideas we're seriously considering for future builds.
The biggest takeaway is simple: the best trucks aren't the most advanced on paper. They're the ones that are overbuilt, easy to understand, and easy to fix when things go wrong.
In this video, we break down:
• The suppliers behind our trucks
• The technology that actually makes sense
• And ideas that could shape how we build trucks going forward
