By leveraging
Nexteer's existing, industry-leading EPS building blocks, mPEPS
provides scalability, which in turn offers OEMs cost- and
time-efficiencies including shorter development cycles and higher
rate of component reuse on vehicle platforms – while still
delivering advanced safety and performance for drivers such as low
noise, vibration and harshness (NVH) levels.
Nexteer's mPEPS building block approach also enables flexibility
to meet OEMs' wide-ranging requirements for advanced gear-based
steering systems and supports all vehicle propulsion types (EV,
ICE, etc.) as well as the needs across various global markets.
"Global and China Domestic OEMs want cost- and time-efficiencies
without sacrificing steering performance," said Robin Milavec, President, Chief Technology
Officer, Chief Strategy Officer and Executive Board Director,
Nexteer Automotive. "With Nexteer's launch of mPEPS – our modular
Pinion-assist steering – we now offer a complete, modular portfolio
that leverages building blocks from our industry-leading electric
power steering systems. Our launch timing is perfect to
further capitalize on growth in APAC and meet global industry needs
for flexible, scalable and cost-effective steering solutions that
applies across EVs, ICEs and mixed propulsion platforms."
Nexteer's Complete Modular Suite of Global EPS
Solutions
Nexteer's mPEPS is the company's third modular
steering design after Modular Column-Assist EPS (mCEPS), which was
announced in October 2021, and
Modular Rack-Assist EPS (mREPS), which was announced in
April 2023.
In addition to Modular EPS systems, Nexteer offers a complete
