Commercial Vehicles

Interface solutions for commercial vehicle applications.

Vans, transits, tenders, and fleet vehicles operate in demanding service environments where controls must survive continuous daily use, weather exposure, and driver operation with work gloves. RNC solid-state switches and panels integrate into exterior and interior surfaces without mechanical components that wear, corrode, or fail under fleet duty cycles.

What commercial vehicle controls face.

Commercial vehicle controls are used by fleet drivers wearing work gloves, activated hundreds of times per day across delivery routes, service calls, and loading operations. Exterior controls face rain, road salt, pressure washing, and temperature extremes. Interior controls face vibration, dirt, cleaning agents, and continuous mechanical stress. Fleet operators need controls that survive the full vehicle service life without scheduled interface maintenance, because a service van with a broken door release or a failed compartment switch is a van that is not earning revenue.

Why solid-state piezo for commercial vehicles.

Fleet-life durability
50 million activations with no contact wear, no dome fatigue, no actuation drift. A switch that works identically on year one and year ten of fleet service.
All-weather exterior operation
IP69K sealed. Rain, road salt, pressure washing, temperature cycling from -40C to +85C. No seals to degrade, no ingress points, no corrosion pathway.
Gloved operation without compromise
Force-based activation works with any work glove, any thickness, any material. No conductive fiber requirement. No sensitivity adjustment needed per glove type.
Behind-surface integration
Controls integrate behind metal, plastic, or composite vehicle body panels. No visible buttons, no cutouts that compromise the panel seal.

RNC solid-state switches are used in commercial vehicle applications across European fleet platforms, providing exterior and interior controls that maintain consistent performance across multi-year fleet duty cycles without interface-related maintenance interventions.
