From STW Technic
It's not easy to develop the next generation of heavy equipment. Giving consideration to all the customer needs and requirements, such as more comfort, better safety and less expensive while at the same time providing a simple "no worry" package is difficult.
As electronics, software and computer technology enters that once purely mechanical world, modern heavy equipment becomes more like a Boing 777 than a 56 Chevy. Similarly as in the auto industry, electronics continues its triumphal procession. That's easy to believe, because 90% of the innovation is driven by electronic and software.
Without saying, launching a new technology is also sometimes tricky. Electric, electronics and software are often times the reason for machine malfunctions, which doesn't necessarily mean that there are more failures today. Rather it is more likely that it is harder to find and fix these faults. A burst hydraulic hose is simply easier to detect than a corroded connector, which in turn is easier to find than a bug in the depths of software.
