OEMs are currently making great efforts to reduce fuel consumption and emissions. Customers will also pay greater attention than ever in the future to CO2 emissions and how environmentally friendly vehicles are. The CO2 debate offers innovative companies great opportunities for growth. A significant contribution to reducing fuel consumption can be made by switching from conventional hydraulic steering systems to electromechanical steering systems. Auto manufacturers will increasingly fit future models with these steering systems. The use of electromechanical steering systems not only offers advantages in terms of fuel consumption, but also above all in driving dynamics, comfort and safety. Speed-sensitive steering, automatic parking, side wind compensation through to collision avoidance functions can all be realized through these steering systems.
