Auxiliary functions the chassis does not know
Pumps, booms, lighting and PTO drives are added after the chassis is built, and need control of their own.

I-10 / Special Purpose VehiclesOne chassis, many bodies —
One chassis, many bodies —
one control architecture.
Fire and rescue, ambulance, municipal, road maintenance and airport vehicles carry more auxiliary functions than the chassis was ever built for. Makersan supplies the controllers, displays and sealed operator controls that put those functions on one CAN bus, in batches of ten as readily as a thousand.
On the body builder's floor
Every build is a variant of one.
Short runs, many variants
Configurable software keeps one hardware set serving a whole catalogue of bodies without new tooling.
Duty on standby
Vehicles that idle for weeks and then work hard need electronics that wake reliably and draw little at rest.
Proof for the approval file
EMC, ingress and temperature test evidence supplied with the parts, for vehicle-level approval.
Relevant products
Control for everything behind the cab.
A body-electronics stack that joins the chassis bus instead of running beside it.
Controllers
Body and PTO control for pumps, valves, booms and lighting.
