SUZHOU, China, Aug. 4, 2021 /PRNewswire=KYODO JBN/ --

production milestone of two million Rack-Assist Electric Power Steering (REPS)
systems at its Nexteer Suzhou Plant.

"Since the production of REPS began in Suzhou in 2015, we have provided these
innovative, high-quality steering systems to numerous OEM customers across the
region," said Yi Ren, General Manager, Nexteer Suzhou. "Our REPS systems
support growing industry megatrends such as electrification and automation, and
we're constantly updating our product portfolio to meet the growing need of
OEMs for advanced safety and performance."
Nexteer's REPS is designed for heavier vehicles to handle higher front-axle
loads and optimize packaging space. While providing branded steering feel and
road feel, REPS also enables these heavier vehicles to take advantage of all
the advanced safety and performance features enabled by EPS technology, such as
lane keeping, park assist, traffic jam assist, lane departure warning and more.
REPS systems are also playing a critical role in global OEMs' transition toward
electrification. For example, with the added weight of batteries in electric
vehicles, OEMs are also turning to Nexteer's High-Output REPS systems, which
nearly doubles the steering load capability of standard REPS. Nexteer's
High-Output REPS system can steer up to 24 kilonewtons (kN) of load compared
with 10-17 kN for a typical REPS system.
"Nexteer produced the world's first 12-volt REPS system in 2010 and has since
become the global leader for REPS. Our REPS system provides millions of drivers
around the world every day with industry-leading steering assistance and
driving experience through advanced safety, performance and comfort – making
driving safer, greener and more fun." said Dr. David Fan, Global Vice President
and Asia Pacific Division President, Nexteer Automotive. "Nexteer continues to
leverage our expertise in software, electronics and vehicle system integration
to develop innovative solutions that enable a new era of safety and performance
for all levels of automated driving, as well as supporting all modes of vehicle
propulsion, be it traditional internal combustion, hybrid or pure electric
systems."
In addition to REPS, 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 Dual
Pinion-Assist EPS (DPEPS), Single Pinion-Assist EPS (SPEPS), Column-Assist EPS
(CEPS) and High-Availability EPS.
