Nexteer Automotive Announces Direct Drive Hand Wheel Actuator Nexteer Automotive announced its Direct Drive Hand Wheel Actuator (DD-HWA) as the company's latest advancement in Steer-by-Wire (SbW) technologies. DD-HWA establishes a new benchmark for steering feel, system integration and vehicle design flexibility enabling automakers to deliver next-generation driving experiences across software-defined vehicles and all levels of assisted and automated driving. DD-HWA is compatible with both 12V and 48V vehicle architectures, supporting integration across traditional, hybrid and electrified platforms globally. As the cornerstone of Nexteer's Motion-by-Wire™? portfolio, SbW replaces the traditional mechanical connection between the hand wheel and road wheels with electronic control, enabling packaging and design flexibility, plus new safety and performance features. This evolution from mechanical to digital control sets the stage for Nexteer's next SbW milestone: DD-HWA. Following is an overview of the combination of innovations and benefits to OEMs and drivers. Premium Steering Feel: Smooth and highly responsive steering gives drivers confidence, control and comfort in all driving conditions. Fast, dynamic response for superior handling: High amplitude-response bandwidth. Precise, comfortable steering feedback: Cogging torque ripple tightly controlled. Compact, Lightweight, Low or High Mount Designs: Low-Mount is positioned with the feedback actuator under the dash. High-Mount is a compact design with the feedback actuator mechanism located just under the steering wheel or other steering interface. This breakthrough allows the steering interface to be located almost anywhere in the cabin and opens the door to innovative stow and interior concepts. Both designs support all propulsion types and optimize space and energy efficiency especially important for NEVs. Enhanced Safety: Rigid-connection structure enhances steering accuracy, while built-in redundancy mechanisms ensure stable operation. In-House High-Performance Motor: Vertical integration of key components further strengthens competitiveness, supply agility and quality control. Simplified Architecture: Streamlined design reduces components, improves robustness and enables seamless vehicle integration. High-Precision Multi-Channel Angle Sensing: A redundant multi-channel angular sensor design, coupled with a specialized gear combination structure, delivers exceptional signal accuracy enhancing safety and diagnostic performance. 48V and 12V Compatibility: High-power output with reduced current draw improves efficiency, thermal performance and safety across EV, hybrid and ICE platforms.

Nexteer Automotive Launches Rear-Wheel Steering Nexteer Automotive announced a Rear-Wheel Steering (RWS) system engineered for cost-effectiveness, lightweighting, durability and seamless integration. Nexteer's RWS is also optimized for enhanced maneuverability, stability, safety and performance - delivering a superior driving experience especially when steering heavier vehicles with long wheelbases such as trucks, SUVs and EVs. The company earned two RWS contracts with a leading Chinese OEM and expects to start production in 2026. Nexteer's new RWS allows the rear wheels to turn up to 12 degrees in coordination with the front wheels, optimizing handling at both low and high speeds. At lower speeds, RWS reduces the turning radius for potentially challenging maneuvers, such as parking in tight spaces, parallel parking, backup events and hitching. RWS also improves vehicle nimbleness during tight partnering and overall city driving. At higher speeds, RWS enhances chassis responsiveness, vehicle stability and safety by improving control during sudden lane changes or evasive maneuvers. It also enhances driver comfort and reduces fatigue especially while speeding and trailering. Nexteer strategically designed its RWS to solve industry challenges and leverage its existing technology leadership and building blocks. Following are key highlights; Nexteer's RWS design prioritizes cost-effectiveness and lightweighting design principles, enabling OEMs to quickly adopt RWS into vehicle platforms with minimal impact on fuel efficiency or EV range; Reuse & Integration: Also tied to cost-effectiveness, Nexteer's approach offers component and manufacturing process reuse with its Rack-assist Electric Power Steering (REPS) systems, as well as easy integration with all vehicle types and potential to simplify rear axle designs; In Steer-by-Wire (SbW) vehicles, RWS may offer additional synergies as RWS could serve as an additional redundancy layer to meet safety requirements; Durable & Reliable: Nexteer's anti-rotation design minimizes friction, enhances strength and supports long-term reliability; Proven & Pioneering: During RWS development, Nexteer pulled from its REPS, SbW, software and vehicle integration expertise, as well as its legacy as a pioneer of RWS-for-mass-production in the early 2000s for GM truck applications (Quadrasteer); Synergies & Compounding Benefits: For longer wheelbases/heavier loads, OEMs can combine RWS with Nexteer's other steering/driveline solutions to compound driver benefits. Nexteer is globally renowned for motion control tailored for larger/heavier vehicle segments. the team is excited to announce RWS, they are already innovating next-generation enhancements and looking forward to a future announcement. Nexteer will publicly debut RWS in their exhibit at the 2025 Auto Shanghai event April 23–May 2, 2025. Announcement • Mar 07

By leveraging Nexteer's existing, EPS building blocks, mPEPS provides scalability, which in turn offers OEMs cost- and time-efficiencies including shorter development cycles and higher rate of component use on vehicle platforms - while still delivering advanced safety and performance for drivers such as low noise, vibration and harshness (NVH) levels. Nexteer's mPEPS building block approach also enables flexibility to meet OEMs' wide-ranging requirements for advanced gear-based steering systems and supports all vehicle propulsion types (EV, ICE, etc.) as well as the needs across various global markets. Nexteer's m PEPS is the company's third modular steering design after Modular Column-Assist EPS (mCEPS), which was announced in October 2021, and Modular Rack-Assist EPS (mREPS), which was announced in April 2023. In addition to Modular EPS systems, Nexteer offers a complete portfolio of EPS systems that can steer vehicles of all sizes - from small cars to heavy-duty trucks and light commercial vehicles. Other EPS solutions from Nexteer include Steer-by-Wire, Rack-Assist EPS (REPS), Dual Pinion-Assist EPS (DPEPS), Single Pinion-Assist EPS(SPEPS) and Column-Assist EPS (CEPS). Nexteer also offers High Output and High Availability options for all EPS systems. High Output EPS increases the steering capabilities to allow heavier vehicles, like EVs and heavy-duty trucks, to take advantage of EPS's advanced safety, comfort and fuel economy benefits. High Availability EPS ensures the steering safety net is always on through intelligently optimized software designed for simultaneous, multi-path processing and hardware redundantancies.
