Abstract
Report Overview
This second edition Steering Systems Report provides a detailed market
overview including all the latest technological developments within the
sector. Also covered are profiles of all the major players within the industry
and a detailed company index. The report goes into details of how the market
is structured for EPS, Hydraulic, EHPS, Active Steering, Total Chassis
Control, Steer-by-wire, and Four Wheel Steering.
Aside from the economic malaise affecting the entire auto industry, there were
several notable changes in the steering system industry in 2008:
- The changeover to EPS is accelerating, driven by government and consumer
demands for more fuel efficiency. Most European platforms for 2012 and beyond
will want EPS as standard.
- A demand for low-cost, low-function EPS has been identified for emerging
markets.
- In mature markets, active steering and four-wheel steering have achieved
solid footholds.
- Steer-by-wire may appear in production in 2015.
- Total Chassis Control systems that tie active steering to braking,
acceleration and suspension control are being rapidly developed.
