Late 1800s
The first motorcycle
Gottlieb Daimler and Willhelm Maybach created the very first motorcycle in 1885, with the first commercially produced bike rolling off the production line in 1894.
Early 1900s
Harley Davidson
Following five years of development, fifty single-cylinder Harley Davidsons were produced in Milwaukee, USA, in 1907, and has gone on to become an iconic brand.
1960s – 1980s
Japanese dominance
More affordable, lighter, and more efficient bikes from Yamaha, Honda, Kawasaki, and Suzuki, going on to dominate the motorcycle market.
1990s – Present

Advanced technology drives safety & efficiency in modern HGVs
Commercial Vehicles and HGVs have become increasingly sophisticated, with modern component technology playing a vital role in enhancing safety, efficiency, and operator comfort both inside the cab and externally.
Switches control key functions such as headlights, indicators, wipers, climate systems, and cab controls including touchscreen displays and seat adjustments. These user-friendly interfaces help streamline driver interaction with the vehicle.
Sensors collect real-time data on vehicle conditions and the surrounding environment, monitoring parameters like tire pressure, engine temperature, fuel level, blind spots, and braking performance. This information is critical for safe and efficient vehicle operation.
Connectors enable seamless communication between electronic control units (ECUs), sensors, and switches. These include IP-rated circular connectors for power and data, M12 connectors for sensors and ethernet, while in-cab USB ports aid driver comfort and connectivity.
LED lighting is widely adopted for its energy efficiency and durability. Headlights, exterior work lights, hazard, tail lights and beacons enhance visibility and safety in all conditions, while internal lighting improves comfort and usability for long-haul operations.
