A-CX Launches Partnership with Epec at iVT Expo Chicago 2026
Most machines waste fuel, and most break down in ways nobody saw coming. A-CX partners with Epec to change that, debuting at iVT Expo Chicago 2026 on August 19 and 20.
Your machines already keep track of things like fuel use, temperature, and running hours. Epec’s hardware, the control units and in-cab screens, gets that information off the machine and turns it into telematics data A-CX can use. A-CX takes that same information and turns it into plain advice the operator can see while they work.
On the job, that means three things. The machine tells the operator when it is running outside its efficient load range, so it burns less fuel for the same work. It gives an early, plain warning when a part is wearing out, before it leaves the machine stuck in the field. It also cuts ramp-up time for newer operators and reduces the errors that come with it, with tips right on the display.
“Epec has spent decades engineering control units and displays for off-highway machines, built for some of the harshest operating conditions in the world. Getting to work alongside a company with that kind of track record is something we’re genuinely proud of.“ – Ville Houttu, CEO & Co-Founder, A-CX
A-CX estimates that a fleet of 50 machines running a typical mixed-duty cycle could save around $100,000 a year in fuel, mostly from running engines in their best range. The real figure depends on the machines themselves, which is the kind of thing A-CX works out with a customer directly.
Come find A-CX at the Epec stand, booth 315, and ask for Ville or Mikko. You can also see more of A-CX’s work with heavy machines at A-CX equipment and machinery work.
