thyssenkrupp was also invited to the opening ceremony of the Zalaegerszeg automotive test track, where our engineers presented improvements and exceptional capabilities of our Steer-by-Wire (SbW) steering systems.

During the thyssenkrupp demonstration, a VW Golf 7 R test car equipped with a SbW steering system developed by thyssenkrupp engineers in the E/E competence center in Budapest was introduced to the guests. The maneuvers presented are usually carried out by automotive manufacturers and suppliers during development and testing phases. The SbW system is a non-mechanical steering system, which is now in the development phase and will later allow many new features for autonomous driving cars also. For example, in the future it will be necessary for the vehicle to steer itself without turning the steering wheel, or the steering wheel should be fully displayed into the dashboard of the car.
