Nexteer Unveils Its MotionIQ™ Software Suite for Intelligent Motion Control
Driving the Future of Intelligent Motion Control
Nexteer's new software suite comprises three product groups, MotionIQ/Control™, MotionIQ/Dev™ and MotionIQ/Health™, that seamlessly work together to deliver precise motion control, accelerated chassis development and advanced predictive maintenance. They include:
"In today's hyper-competitive automotive industry, OEMs are in a global race to bring high-quality, software-defined vehicles to market faster while also reducing development costs. To achieve this, suppliers must be more than partners; we must become force multipliers," said Robin Milavec, President, Chief Technology Officer, Chief Strategy Officer and Executive Board Director, Nexteer Automotive. "Nexteer's MotionIQ software answers this call by unifying chassis motion control, development and health-monitoring into a single suite, helping OEMs slash development cycles, drive down costs and embed the latest by-wire technologies. With MotionIQ, Nexteer is not only delivering smarter software; we're transforming the way chassis systems are engineered and integrated at scale."
Virtual Simulation Reduces Cost & Development Time
Nexteer also offers comprehensive testing and validation capabilities, including platforms like Hardware-in-the-Loop (HiL) and Virtual ECUs (V-ECUs) for active system simulation. Nexteer's level three and four V-ECU enables system-level verification early in the development cycle. This allows OEMs to begin software testing before physical hardware is available and identify issues earlier to prevent costly mistakes later in development.
Engineering Collaboration for Accelerated Development & Integration
Partners with specialized expertise and global insights, like Nexteer, are essential in helping OEMs rapidly design, develop, test and seamlessly integrate cutting-edge software solutions into vehicles, driving both innovation and efficiency. Nexteer's team of engineers acts as an extension of its customer's teams, championing agile software development to ensure efficient delivery, rapid prototyping and flexible products. Nexteer's software development process has been certified ASIL (Automotive Safety Integrity Level) D compliant with the ISO 26262 Functional Safety Standard and successfully assessed for ASPICE compliance.
Strategic Partner to Support SDV Transition
As OEMs adopt more centralized E/E architectures to support their software-defined vehicle (SDV) platforms, they are increasingly bringing software development in-house - including functions embedded in vehicle subsystems and core to their brands. Nexteer has numerous EPS and SbW production programs in development with global OEMs to deliver decoupled steering software.
This approach empowers OEM ownership of unique steering functions and accelerates speed-to-market for their SDVs. By working together in a more collaborative way, Nexteer helps drive engineering efficiencies for its customers by maintaining common software systems across vehicle platforms, enabling easier technology integration and updates, while also providing flexibility to support brand diversification needs.

Nexteer Reports Strong First-Half 2025 Results
AUBURN HILLS, Mich., Aug. 13, 2025 /PRNewswire/ -- Nexteer Automotive (HK 1316) today announced its first-half 2025 results, highlighting above-market revenue growth, strategic customer wins and strategic expansion of its global footprint and technology portfolio. Revenue for the period was $2.2 billion, up 7% compared with the first half of 2024. Nexteer continued growth momentum with China domestic OEMs (COEMs), with approximately US$0.6 billion, or 39%, of bookings generated by our COEMs' business. Total bookings for 1H 2025 were US$1.5 billion. "Nexteer continues to outperform the market by delivering innovation, securing strategic programs and investing in operational excellence, even amid ongoing volatility in global vehicle production," said Robin Milavec, President, Chief Technology Officer (CTO), Chief Strategy Officer (CSO), and Executive Board Director, Nexteer Automotive. "We remain confident in our ability to sustain momentum and deliver long-term value for our customers and stakeholders." First Half 2025 Financial Results In the first half of 2025, Nexteer delivered strong financial performance with revenue of US$2.2 billion, representing a 7% year-over-year increase, outpacing the market by 450 basis points. Adjusted EBITDA for the first six months of 2025 was US$230.4 million, an increase of US$33.1 million or 16.8% compared to the same period in 2024. The improved profitability was driven by higher volumes, enhanced efficiency and performance. Free cash flow improved to $36.7 million in the first half of 2025, compared with an outflow of $6.6 million in the same period last year. This improvement was driven by higher earnings and reduced capital expenditure, partially offset by increased working capital investment. Program Launch & Bookings Highlights The company launched 31 new customer programs, including its first dual-pinion electric power steering (DPEPS) program in China and first modular column-assist electric power steering (mCEPS) launch in Europe. Of these, 23 were new or conquest programs and 21 supported fully electric vehicle platforms – further demonstrating alignment with mobility megatrends and Nexteer's ability to tailor scalable solutions for EV and ICE applications. Nexteer secured $1.5 billion in new customer program bookings during the first half. Of those, 74% represented new or conquest business and 39% were tied to fully electric vehicle platforms. EPS programs accounted for 69% of bookings, complemented by additional growth in driveline and rear-wheel steering. Bookings with China domestic OEMs totaled $599 million, reinforcing Nexteer's strong position in China with local OEMS.
