TRW Automotive has announced that its electrically powered steering column drive (EPS CD) technology is been used on two of the major vehicle platforms in European and Chinese markets.
The third generation powered steering is based on a modular and scalable architecture that is designed to provide freedom of packaging and can be used for a broad range of applications.
In Europe, the steering system has been launched in Volkswagen Polo, Up and e-Up, Audi S1, Fabia and Citigo, and in China it features in GAC FIAT Viaggio.
TRW vice president Dirk Kesselgruber said: "Our Gen 3 EPS is tailored to our customers' strategies to increasingly apply modular technology across global platforms.
"The beauty of these products is the building block nature of substituting motors, ECUs and other major items to fit the application without having to do a massive design tear up.
"The modular approach also helps us to tailor our offering for multiple regional requirements and meet the needs of different customers around the world."
The company also offers two electrically powered steering (EPS) solutions that are designed to cover the full vehicle platform range.
