SUZHOU, China, Oct. 22, 2021 /PRNewswire-AsiaNet/ --

Nexteer Automotive expands its Electric Power Steering (EPS) portfolio with its 
new Modular Column-Assist EPS System (mCEPS). This innovative system offers a 
cost-efficient, modular platform design achieving scalability for Nexteer and 
flexibility to meet a wide range of OEMs' requirements.

"Nexteer's mCEPS system creates new possibilities for vehicle types that have 
used traditional CEPS systems in the past. With a platform design and an 
expandable electronic control system, mCEPS allows us to meet OEM customers' 
needs for an advanced, customizable and cost-effective steering system that is 
flexible to customer packaging and other requirements," said Dr. David Fan, 
Global Vice President and APAC Division President, Nexteer Automotive. 

Nexteer's mCEPS system is available in three models – Standard, Enhanced and 
Pro – to support various load capacities and other requirements. For example, 
mCEPS Pro supports SAE automated driving levels 2 – 5, as well as over-the-air 
(OTA) updates and cyber security. All three Nexteer mCEPS models are based on 
AUTOSAR Release 4.0 electrical/software architecture. In addition, Nexteer's 
custom-developed, high-performance torque and rotation angle sensors provide 
outstanding noise, vibration & harshness (NVH) performance and a smooth and 
accurate steering feel – making drivers feel more connected to the road.

"Nexteer's mCEPS leverages our existing, industry-leading EPS building blocks 
to create a new solution that is re-configurable and customizable to the level 
of content required by the OEM. This serves as another proof point of how we 
leverage our electrical and software expertise to innovate customer-focused, 
motion control solutions," said Robin Milavec, President, Chief Technology 
Officer (CTO), Chief Strategy Officer (CSO) and Executive Board Director, 
Nexteer Automotive. "Nexteer will continue to enrich our portfolio with 
innovative products, like mCEPS, to cost-effectively meet our customers' unique 
needs today and as we anticipate their future needs in an evolving mobility 
landscape."
