HeavyTech Showcases Emerging Technology at MOVE America 2025

Last month, HeavyTech had the opportunity to attend MOVE America in Detroit—one of the nation’s leading conferences focused on mobility innovation, electrification, AI, infrastructure, and the future of transportation. For a young company with big ambitions, MOVE America provided exactly the kind of platform we value: a place to engage with industry leaders, share our story, and demonstrate how hybrid–electric machinery and intelligent systems will shape the next era of off-highway equipment.

A Strong First Impression

Even before arriving, we knew MOVE America would be an important milestone—but the reception we received exceeded expectations. HeavyTech is still early in its journey, yet we found that our mission resonated strongly with attendees from across the mobility and industrial sectors. Engineers, fleet operators, OEM leaders, investors, and technologists all expressed enthusiasm for the idea of purpose-built hybrid and electric compact machines built in the U.S. with cutting-edge controls, AI vision, and advanced electro-hydraulic systems.

The recognition we received confirmed that the off-highway industry is hungry for real innovation—not incremental changes, but fundamental rethinking of how compact equipment is designed, powered, and controlled.

Showcasing Our Vision AI Training Model

One of the highlights of the event was the opportunity to demonstrate our Vision AI training model, a core part of the intelligent machine platform we’re building. Our approach focuses on applying real-time perception and operator-assisting intelligence to compact equipment—technology traditionally seen only in large, high-budget autonomous vehicle programs.

At MOVE America, we walked attendees through how our system interprets its environment, identifies worksite elements, and prepares the groundwork for the next generation of smarter, safer, and more efficient off-highway machinery. The response was overwhelmingly positive. Many attendees expressed that this kind of capability has been missing from the compact equipment space, and that HeavyTech’s approach could meaningfully raise the bar for the entire industry.

Building Momentum and Expanding Our Network

Beyond the technology itself, MOVE America gave us the chance to connect with potential partners, suppliers, early adopters, and investors. These relationships are invaluable as we move toward completing our first operational prototypes and preparing for early customer engagement.

Attending events like MOVE allows us to share the progress happening behind the scenes—from our rapid prototype development to the upcoming rollout of our AI Vision system on full-size machines. It also reinforces HeavyTech’s image as a capable, execution-driven company committed to reshaping how U.S.-built compact equipment is designed and delivered.

Why Events Like MOVE Matter

HeavyTech is building more than machines—we’re building the foundation of a modern industrial company rooted in innovation, U.S. manufacturing, and practical engineering. Conferences like MOVE America amplify that effort by connecting us with the people and organizations that share our vision for the future.

As we continue closing our Reg CF round and begin preparing for our next stage of growth, visibility and engagement with the broader mobility ecosystem become even more important. MOVE America helped accelerate that momentum, and we’re already planning future participation in key industry events.

Looking Ahead

The HeavyTech team returned from Detroit energized and more confident than ever in the path ahead. With our first prototype nearing completion, AI Vision field testing approaching, and strong investor support behind us, 2026 is shaping up to be a defining year for the company.

We look forward to sharing more updates soon—and to showing the industry what a lean, focused, U.S.-built innovation company can accomplish.
