Nexteer Expands Portfolio With High Output Column-Assist Electric Power Steering
Diverse Portfolio Helps OEMs Balance Performance, Price & Speed AUBURN HILLS, Mich., April 8, 2025 /PRNewswire/ -- Nexteer Automotive announces its latest breakthrough in steering innovation, High-Output Column-Assist Electric Power Steering (HO CEPS). This addition strengthens Nexteer's industry-leading steering portfolio and gives OEMs unmatched flexibility to optimize performance, cost, scalability and development speed across vehicle platforms while addressing diverse global market needs. EXPANDING VEHICLE SEGMENT COVERAGE WITH HO CEPS Traditionally, CEPS is used to steer smaller vehicles like compact cars, sedans, small SUVs and entry-level EVs. Nexteer's "standard" CEPS already supports higher-than-average steering loads, delivering 40–95 Nm of assist, making it a cost-effective alternative for heavier vehicles. Now with the launch of HO CEPS, Nexteer further expands steering assist capacity up to 110 Nm. Consequently, HO CEPS can support even larger and heavier vehicles, including vehicles that would typically require Dual Pinion or entry-level Rack-Assist EPS. By delivering increased torque and load-handling capabilities, HO CEPS enables these vehicles to maintain steering precision, battery/fuel efficiency and cost-effectiveness—without requiring more complex, premium under-hood EPS systems. DIVERSE STEERING OPTIONS HELP OEMS ADAPT With the launch of HO CEPS, Nexteer now offers a complete, High Output EPS Suite including HO versions of Single Pinion, Dual Pinion and Rack-Assist EPS. Beyond HO and standard EPS, Nexteer's lineup also includes: Nexteer's comprehensive steering portfolio empowers OEMs to balance cost, performance and development speed across multiple vehicle segments and global markets. "With our launch of High-Output CEPS, Nexteer continues to lead the way in steering innovation, giving OEMs the power to optimize performance, price and development speed for every vehicle in every market. As a leader in chassis motion control, we're helping automakers anticipate and adapt to the future of mobility," said Robin Milavec, President, Chief Technology Officer, Chief Strategy Officer and Executive Board Director, Nexteer Automotive. The company will premiere its HO CEPS in its exhibit (1.2H 1BF007) at the 2025 Auto Shanghai April 23 - May 2, 2025.
