SHANGHAI: Nexteer Automotive is displaying a full range of steering, driveline and software technologies at the 2023 Shanghai Auto Show from April 18 - 27, showcasing how the company, as a global technology leader, solves motion control challenges across all megatrends in the automotive industry.
Nexteer's booth feature a vehicle concept display, which highlights how Nexteer technologies, such as Steer-by-Wire (SbW), stowable steering column, high-performance halfshafts, steering software and more, support the various megatrends.
High-Output and Modular Options for Electric Power Steering (EPS)
Nexteer's complete line of underhood High-Output EPS systems offer increased output capabilities to meet the needs of heavier vehicles such as EVs, without the need to move up to more premium EPS technologies.
High-Output EPS can also help convert heavier vehicles like light commercial vehicles from hydraulic to electric power steering – enabling them to benefit from EPS's added safety and performance features.
In addition, Nexteer has expanded its cost-effective modular and platform design for Column-Assist EPS and Rack-Assist EPS.
These leverage Nexteer's existing, industry-leading EPS building blocks to achieve scalability for Nexteer and flexibility to meet a wide range of OEM customers' requirements.
Nexteer's wide range of halfshaft technology solutions offer lower mass, high durability and excellent noise, vibration and harshness (NVH) performance.
For example, Nexteer's halfshaft designs can meet expanded fatigue requirements due to increased torque and regenerative braking needs in EVs, and the Company's specialized joint types can be used for enhanced NVH and efficiency needs due to the quietness of EVs.
Steering Software Solutions
Nexteer's software portfolio includes: Software for Advanced Steering Features and Functions; Road Surface Detection; Vehicle Health Management; Brake-to-Steer; and Safety / Cybersecurity.
These solutions increase safety, performance and convenience across all ADAS (advanced driver-assistance system) levels and in connected environments via software-defined vehicles.
