Electric power steering enables “astronomic” emissions reductions, says Nexteer

Global supplier of advanced steering and driveline systems Nexteer recently produced its 30 millionth electric power steering (EPS) unit. EPS uses a combination of electric motors, actuators, sensors and controllers to provide drivers with optimum steering control for a range of driving conditions. Automotive World spoke to Paul Poirel, Engineering Director, Nexteer Europe, about the trends driving the switch from hydraulic to electric power steering units.
