Commercial vehicle (CV) active power steering is a sophisticated steering technology designed for heavy-duty vehicles like trucks and buses. It employs electronic controls, sensors, and actuators to adjust the steering effort dynamically according to driving conditions. This system improves vehicle handling, reduces driver fatigue, and enhances safety. Unlike traditional steering, it provides real-time adaptability and precise control.
The primary types of commercial vehicle (CV) active power steering include hydraulic power steering (HPS), electric power steering (EPS), and electro-hydraulic power steering (EHPS). Hydraulic power steering assists the driver by using hydraulic fluid pressure generated by a pump to ease wheel turning, thereby lowering steering effort. These systems incorporate technologies such as steer-by-wire, variable gear ratios, and active rear steering, with components including steering racks, columns, and wheels. They find applications in light commercial vehicles (LCVs), medium commercial vehicles (MCVs), and heavy commercial vehicles (HCVs), serving end users such as original equipment manufacturers (OEMs) and the aftermarket.
Note that the outlook for this market is being affected by rapid changes in trade relations and tariffs globally. The report will be updated prior to delivery to reflect the latest status, including revised forecasts and quantified impact analysis. The report's Recommendations and Conclusions sections will be updated to give strategies for entities dealing with the fast-moving international environment.
Tariffs are significantly impacting the commercial vehicle active power steering market by increasing the cost of imported electronic control units, sensors, actuators, precision steering racks, and semiconductor components used in advanced steering systems. Heavy commercial vehicle manufacturers in North America and Europe are most affected due to reliance on imported electronics and precision parts, while Asia-Pacific suppliers face export pricing pressures. These tariffs are raising vehicle production costs and slowing system adoption in price-sensitive fleets. However, they are also encouraging localized component manufacturing, supplier diversification, and accelerated development of cost-optimized steering technologies.

The commercial vehicle (cv) active power steering market size has grown strongly in recent years. It will grow from $5.71 billion in 2025 to $6.21 billion in 2026 at a compound annual growth rate (CAGR) of 8.8%. The growth in the historic period can be attributed to expansion of heavy commercial vehicle production, increasing focus on vehicle safety regulations, growing adoption of electronic steering systems, rising demand for improved vehicle handling, advancements in hydraulic and electric steering technologies.
The commercial vehicle (cv) active power steering market size is expected to see strong growth in the next few years. It will grow to $8.71 billion in 2030 at a compound annual growth rate (CAGR) of 8.8%. The growth in the forecast period can be attributed to increasing penetration of autonomous commercial vehicles, rising electrification of truck platforms, growing integration of advanced driver assistance systems, increasing demand for connected vehicle technologies, continuous innovation in steering control software. Major trends in the forecast period include increasing adoption of steer-by-wire systems, rising integration of sensor-based steering controls, growing demand for driver fatigue reduction technologies, expansion of active rear steering solutions, enhanced focus on steering precision and safety.
The growing demand for fuel-efficient vehicles is expected to drive the expansion of the commercial vehicle (CV) active power steering market in the coming years. Fuel-efficient vehicles are designed to consume less fuel while covering the same distance compared to traditional vehicles. This increase is fueled by rising fuel prices and heightened environmental awareness, as both consumers and governments aim to cut emissions and reduce transportation costs. Commercial vehicle active power steering contributes to fuel efficiency by improving steering accuracy and lowering energy consumption, making vehicles easier to handle and more efficient. For example, the International Energy Agency, based in France, reported in May 2024 that electric car sales have steadily risen to 14 million (18%) in 2023, up from 3 million (4%) in 2020. Hence, the demand for fuel-efficient vehicles is boosting growth in the commercial vehicle active power steering market.
Companies in the commercial vehicle active power steering market are focusing on adopting advanced technologies like electric power steering to improve fuel efficiency, reduce emissions, enhance steering accuracy, and support autonomous driving features. Electric power steering (EPS) systems use an electric motor instead of hydraulic fluid to assist the driver, increasing efficiency and allowing integration with advanced driver assistance systems (ADAS). In April 2025, Nexteer Automotive, a US-based company specializing in steering and driveline technology, introduced a high-output column-assist electric power steering (HO CEPS) system. This system provides up to 110 Nm of steering assist, making it suitable for larger, heavier vehicles that typically require more complex steering solutions.
In January 2025, Rane Group, an industrial company based in India, partnered with ZF Friedrichshafen AG to develop rack drive electric power steering technologies. This collaboration aims to localize cutting-edge electric power steering systems, improve vehicle safety and comfort, and strengthen the availability of innovative steering solutions in the Indian market. ZF Friedrichshafen AG, headquartered in Germany, specializes in advanced active power steering systems for commercial vehicles.
