We’re solving motion control needs for today’s world and an automated future. We relentlessly innovate to enhance safety, control, comfort and performance.
Nexteer has redefined Hydraulic Power Steering (HPS), bringing fuel efficiency and even Advanced Driver Assist features not typically found on heavy duty trucks and commercial vehicles.
Enabling Safer, More Durable & Reliable Driving for Shared, Autonomous & Electric Vehicles
To support the shared, electric and automated future of vehicles like people movers, our team at Nexteer focuses on advanced steering systems that will enable broader applications. In particular, our CES Innovation Award-winning Automated Steering Actuator provides a high availability, high output and high durability solution for more capable shared AVs – including those without a steering wheel or driver.
How Award-Winning SbW + Stowable Column Will Transform Future Mobility
Nexteer’s award-winning technology combination of Steer-by-Wire (SbW) with Stowable Steering Column reinvents the “behind-the-wheel” experience and opens an untapped frontier of advanced safety and performance features for autonomous and traditional driving.
Nexteer’s Robin Milavec Featured in Automotive News Innovation Q&A
Nexteer’s President, CTO and CSO Robin Milavec recently weighed in on the megatrends that are driving the future of mobility and leading to smarter, safer and cleaner vehicles in an Automotive News innovation roundtable.
High-Output Steering Systems Capable of Handling Heavy Loads
As we move toward a world in which more vehicles plug in instead of fill up, technology in the entire vehicle will have to evolve – not just the components related to fuel. At Nexteer, one way we’re supporting the industry’s electric evolution is through our complete line of underhood High-Output Electric Power Steering (EPS) Systems – which have increased output capabilities to meet the needs of heavier electric vehicles (EVs).
Advanced Safety & Packaging Flexibility with Innovative Power Pack Design
One of the exciting, ADAS-enabling technologies in the Ford Bronco is Nexteer’s Near Cylindrical 10 FIT Folded Circuit Board Power Pack. This new power pack features our most compact, highest content design ever – a 10 FIT capable folded circuit board that enhances safety, cost savings and packaging space.
Steer-by-Wire: Electrification & the Convergence of Megatrends
In the fast-changing automotive industry, the Electrification trend is not occurring in a vacuum. As more vehicle models move to electric versions, they are also adopting new software, connectivity and assisted and automated features for advanced safety and performance. As the center link of Nexteer’s advanced steering suite, Steer-by-Wire (SbW) plays an important role in enabling each of these industry megatrends.
From our long-standing commitment to our local communities to our history of developing innovative, safety-critical motion control technologies to our focus on environmental, health and safety – Nexteer’s commitment to environmental, social and corporate governance (ESG) / sustainability is woven into all aspects of our business. In short, we’re committed to being a responsible corporate citizen in everything we do.
A Steering Solution Fit for the Future of Trucks and EVs
With heavier vehicles like full-sized trucks and SUVs leading the pack in terms of new vehicle sales, automakers need an EPS system capable of handling higher loads to provide ADAS and advanced safety features on their most popular vehicles.
Improving the Driver Experience Through Connectivity & OTA Updates
Advanced software is creating endless opportunities for future vehicle features through OTA updates, crowd sourcing and V2X communications. These will provide drivers with advanced safety and performance benefits and challenge automakers to differentiate themselves and make their brand stand out.
Innovative Solutions for Future Steering System Challenges
With Nexteer's proven CIS portfolio and engineering experience, we work with our customers to embrace and solve their challenges which ultimately provides drivers with a safe and comfortable experience behind the wheel.
Innovative Engineering and Manufacturing Under One Global, Digital Roof
At Nexteer Automotive, one of our key advantages to industry-leading innovation is our in-house ownership of the engineering process. From R&D to design, testing, validation and manufacturing – we do it all under one global, digital roof.
Cyber Security: Considerations for the Next Generation of Connected Vehicles
While our OEM customers incorporate cyber security at the vehicle level, Nexteer further enhances safety by integrating multi-layer cyber security at the steering system level for maximum protection.
Relentless Innovation in Times of Social Distancing
With enhanced safety measures in place, Nexteer remains committed to our culture of relentless innovation. From production lines to customer service and technical centers, we are working to make sure both our One Nexteer culture and commitment to world-class intuitive motion control solutions remain strong.
The Future of Collision Avoidance with Automatic Emergency Steering
With our advanced steering software, SbW seamlessly manages or eliminates steering wheel rotation during AES maneuvers bringing added confidence, security and comfort to the driver. The result is a more graceful and intuitive steering transition before, during, and after an AES collision avoidance event, especially if the vehicle needs to make large, rapid movements to avoid an obstacle.
Driveline Innovations Power the Future of Mobility
Nexteer recently expanded our Driveline product portfolio with new and enhanced technologies to support the demands of EVs. These advanced Halfshaft technologies are essential in EVs and MaaS, providing a smooth ride, increasing control and durability while limiting disturbances for drivers and passengers.
Nexteer’s Stowable Steering Column innovation will take a driver’s “behind-the-wheel” experience to a whole, new level. Our technology enables the steering wheel to retract into the dashboard when hands-off, automated driving is engaged. It can also be used in traditional vehicles when the vehicle is not in motion – increasing available space for driver comfort and other activities.
Dual Pinion-Assist EPS: Growing Architecture for Electric & Sport Utility Vehicles
When considering steering solutions, Dual Pinion-Assist Electric Power Steering or DPEPS has emerged as a key technology – to compliment Rack-Assist EPS (REPS) – for the growing demand in electric and utility vehicles.
Nexteer Invests in Tactile Mobility to Support Software Offerings & Next Level “Steering Feel”
Nexteer’s collaboration with Tactile Mobility is a perfect complement to our existing global software business model and focus on motion control software. Through this investment, we are looking forward to building out even more of our software offerings that maximize over-the-air updates and connectivity for even safer, more reliable driving.
Innovation Meets Operations with Digital Trace™ Manufacturing
