MotionIQ™

Intelligent Motion
Control Software

Shaping the future of the software-defined chassis

Software-defined vehicles (SDVs) and the introduction of ‘by-wire’ technologies mark a transformative new era in mobility – where software is not just an enabler, but the core driver of vehicle innovation and value.

Nexteer’s MotionIQ software suite is the intelligence powering our ‘Motion-by-Wire’ technology portfolio – including Steer-by-Wire (SbW), Rear-Wheel Steering (RWS), and Brake-by-Wire (BbW) – as well as our industry-leading Electric Power Steering (EPS) systems.

By combining these advanced technologies with our safety-critical software expertise, Nexteer is shaping the future of the software-defined chassis – enabling seamless systems integration, significant development cost savings, and speed-to-market for our OEM partners.

Slide 1

Hardware Standardization

Advanced software-enabled technologies, like Steer-by-Wire, Electric Power Steering, Brake-by-Wire and Rear-Wheel Steering, allow OEMs to program component software to feel different across various vehicles, such as a luxury SUV, a pickup truck or a sports car - even if the same hardware system is used across different vehicles.

Slide 1

Accelerated Development For Reduced Costs

With software tools from MotionIQ/Dev, engineers can make real-time updates during vehicle testing, accelerating steering feature development from days to minutes—all with little to no coding expertise.

Slide 1

Integrated Chassis Control

Software-defined vehicles are moving towards a more centralized system for more integrated, updatable and flexible architectures. With proven systems integration and software expertise, Nexteer helps OEMs build centralized architectures for coordinated control across chassis systems and actuators

Slide 1

Virtual Validation For Speed-To-Market

Nexteer’s Level 1-4 virtual ECU (V-ECU) and other virtual engineering capabilities reduces costs for customers by enabling system-level software verification much earlier in the development cycle, allowing for testing and issue detection even before hardware or physical prototypes are available.
