Nexteer is working with Coda on tuning the steering to maximize driver comfort and steering effort. The EPS system enables quicker response and improved handling and steering feel, claims the company.
Nexteer currently has column, pinion and rack-assisted EPS systems in mass production. Its broad portfolio enables it to provide cost-effective EPS solutions for a full range of vehicle segments, sizes and classes from small cars to large trucks, the company said.
Mike Richardson, vice president of steering business unit at Nexteer Automotive, said: “We are planning $400m in future investments for our global operations, technology and equipment in the coming years, a majority of which is ear-marked for green steering technologies like EPS.We have a global footprint that will be optimized to support our diverse customer base around the world.”
Since 1999, Nexteer (the former steering division of Delphi) has put more than 12 million EPS units on the road globally.
Coda Automotive is a manufacturer and distributor of all-electric cars and transportation battery systems.
