If you’re working on the next generation of construction, agricultural, or off-highway vehicles, make sure to visit APEM at iVT Expo 2025. We will be showcasing brand-new innovations and product ranges, unveiled for the first time at the show. From adaptive control concepts to new HMI solutions, our technologies are designed to meet the evolving demands of modern vehicle environments.
WHAT YOU’LL FIND ON THE APEM STAND
TRY THE SYNAPSE PROGRAMMABLE JOYSTICK
What if your joystick could adapt to the task, the terrain, or the operator — in real time?
At iVT Expo, we will unveil SYNAPSE, our new adaptive joystick concept, for the first time. An adaptive joystick that responds in real time — for optimal vehicle control.
Your vehicle. Your working environment. Your way.
Fine-tune joystick settings to match every task, operator, and environment.
Customize joystick behavior instantly — to enhance safety, precision, and responsiveness.
You’ll be able to test the concept on our stand and discover:
- Context-aware motion control
- Real-time adaptive motion constraints
- Haptic feedback that warns before reaching unsafe zones


Don’t miss the presentation by Alexandre Gonfalonieri, our Market Research & Innovation Manager, who will introduce SYNAPSE and share insights from years of field research and collaboration with OEMs, operators, and industry stakeholders.
