Nexteer’s Steer-by-Wire (SbW) is the center link across all megatrends – unlocking advanced safety and performance features and functionality. It also opens new possibilities for vehicle light-weighting and packaging flexibility.
SbW replaces the mechanical steering connection between the hand wheel and road wheels with algorithms, electronics and actuators. SbW emulates the “feel of the road,” offers a wide performance range (including sporty, luxury, comfort, etc.) and enhances maneuverability through our dynamic variable steering ratio.
SbW supports traditional driving and varying levels of Automated Driving (AD) across all vehicle types including ICEs and EVs.
