Abstract

The global trend of power steering systems for passenger cars, SUVs, pickup trucks and even light commercial vehicles clearly shows the replacement of hydraulic power steering systems (HPS) by electric power steering systems (EPS). In the mature vehicle markets Japan, Europe and NAFTA this development has already started about 15 years ago and is now more or less finalized for the whole range of passenger cars. The emerging markets in Asia/Pacific, South America and Russia are following with a delay of several years but increasing speed. In these markets the demand for cost efficient solutions is one of the main drivers for the technology decision of the OEMs. Column drive EPS (EPSc) is very often the technology of choice to cover this requirement.
