A big part of these filings is connected to new technology. Company is working on electric vehicles and even hydrogen based engines.
There is also focus on electric buses, as cities are slowly moving towards cleaner transport options. At the same time, development around electric vans is also happening, which can be useful for delivery and small business work.
Not everything will come to market quickly, but groundwork is clearly being done.
Improvements in Core Areas
Apart from new fuel tech, patents are also related to basic but important things.
This includes safety, better vehicle performance and reducing running cost. In commercial vehicles, cost matters a lot, so even small improvement can make difference.
Company is also looking at driver comfort, which earlier was not given that much importance.

Final Thoughts
