Each year, OHR analyzes the construction equipment market to determine where the sector currently stands and to forecast where it’s heading. Chris Sleight, managing director of OHR, will be sharing the latest update to the global and regional construction equipment outlook at this year’s Off-Highway Conference, hosted by OHR and being held in partnership with the sixth annual Power Progress Summit (formerly Diesel Progress Summit), taking place October 1-2, 2024, at the Voco Chicago Downtown Hotel in Chicago, Ill.

Sleight is considered one of the world’s leading authorities on the global construction equipment markets.

In addition to Sleight’s presentation, the Off-Highway Conference will feature presentations on the North American used equipment market; the alternative fuels roadmap for off-highway equipment; and opportunities and challenges of autonomy in transportation.

Presentations for the Power Progress Summit will focus on the dramatic changes in engines and powertrains that are being driven by emissions regulations and advances in hybrid, electrification and other technologies. This year’s theme, “Developments in Digitalization & Decarbonization” also brings in conversations related to automation and autonomy, connectivity, artificial intelligence and more in relation to their role in accelerating strategies to deliver more efficient and lower/zero-carbon solutions.

In addition, the Summit will recognize excellence in product design, development and innovation with the annual Power Progress Summit Awards, which are now open for entry through July 1.
