• Potential of CO2 reduction • Standardisation and System comparison • Electronic architecture and Integration

Electro-mechanical steering systems offer a substantial potential for reducing energy consumption. At the same time advanced steering systems make a great contribution toward vehicle safety, comfort and assistance system. And it is still a challenge for the automotive industry to use electro-mechanical and electric power steering in vehicles with peak performance in the premium segment. Even more promising in regard to CO2 -Reduction are electro hydraulic steering systems for trucks and trailers. The potential of meeting CO2 - Legislation in 2014 (175 grams) and to reduce fuel consumption via an advanced steering system is really auspicious in this sector.

However a lot of crucial challenges still have to be mastered: The reliability of EPS and EHPS, front wheel steering as well as for rear wheel steering system and active steering has to be improved. And the systems require a solid integration in the chassis system and driver assistance systems.

Conference Highlights:

• Learn how growth potential in steering systems compares with other automotive electronic systems
