We expect there could be some continued incremental headwinds in the off-highway end market and lower than expected MirrorEye aftermarket fleet and bus volumes despite the continuing expansion in fleet relationships. Many of these fleets are evaluating the technology prior to availability as a factory installation which we expect will increase the OEM volumes, as we have outlined with several of our OEM customers making the system standard equipment but may impact demand for higher volume retrofit applications.”
