Magnetic Torque Overlay

Thanks to our Magnetic Torque Overlay (MTO), drivers of ¾ ton trucks and commercial vehicles can benefit from enhanced safety, comfort and ADAS features previously found only in lighter (electric steered) vehicles, such as:

  • Lane Keeping
  • Pull Compensation
  • Park Assist
  • Lane Departure Warning
  • Wheel Imbalance Rejection
  • Active Damping
  • Return to Center
  • And more!

Our MTO is an industry-first electromagnetic module within a hydraulic steering system that includes additional pressure sensing hardware, an electric control module and additional software – thus enabling ADAS features as well as a highly tunable, premium steering feel.

MTO is accomplished with no additional sliding or contacting components, belts, gears or motors, which can compromise steering feel and performance by adding friction or inertia. We also offer two MTO sizes – Standard and High Output – to enhance flexibility for desired features and packaging space. In addition, our scalable MTO cartridge valve enables integration with OEMs’ current gear configurations for heavy-duty trucks and commercial vehicles.

Nexteer MTO Enables

  • Improved comfort, control and safety with less driver fatigue
  • ADAS features and greater value to help close the price-to-feature gap between light-duty and heavy-duty trucks
  • Reduced warranty costs, exceptional durability due to fewer moving parts and non-contacting magnetics to steer the gear valve
  • Better fuel efficiency when combined with our SmartFlow Pump
  • Scalability with minimal assembly impact – Due to its modular design, MTO overcomes the technology hurdle of ¾ ton trucks and offers technical capability to steer Class 6, 7 and 8 trucks and commercial vehicles.
