mREPS: Safe, Flexible, Cost-Effective Steering for Heavier Vehicles – Including EVs
Today’s OEMs need greater hardware standardization and scalability to drive efficiencies and help offset costs as they electrify their vehicles.
To help our customers overcome these challenges, we’ve introduced two modular electric power steering (EPS) platforms – including our Modular Column-Assist EPS (mCEPS) and our new Modular Rack-Assist EPS (mREPS).
mREPS: A Modular Steering Solution for Heavier Vehicles
Introduced at the 2023 Auto Shanghai Show in April, our new mREPS system combines the efficiency benefits of a modular system with the capability of steering heavier vehicles, such as EVs and light commercial vehicles.
By leveraging our existing, industry-leading EPS building blocks, mREPS provides scalability, which in turn offers OEMs cost- and time-efficiencies including shorter development times and higher rate of component reuse on vehicle platforms.
Among the many benefits of the mREPS system is a full-cylindrical integrated powerpack, which achieves advanced safety and reliability within compact packaging for SAE ADAS Levels 3 to 5.
In addition, mREPS enables responsive steering via custom-developed, high-performance torque and position sensors.
With the global automotive industry shifting toward electrification, mREPS is well positioned to provide a cost-effective, innovative steering solution that applies across EVs, ICE vehicles and mixed propulsion platforms.
