Shaping the Future of Steering with Safety, Efficiency, and ADAS-Ready Technology
XEPS, a specialized supplier of advanced steering systems, offers a complete portfolio of Electric Power Steering (EPS) solutions for OEM customers worldwide.Covering Column Assist EPS (C-EPS), Pinion Assist EPS (P-EPS), Dual Pinion EPS (DP-EPS), and Rack Assist EPS (R-EPS) configurations, the new product line is designed to deliver unmatched steering precision, enhanced driver comfort, and seamless integration with modern Advanced Driver Assistance Systems (ADAS) and autonomous driving platforms.
Overall Benefits of EPS
XEPS’s EPS platforms bring significant benefits over traditional hydraulic steering systems. They improve steering comfort, handling stability and driving safety while reducing energy consumption and environmental impact. EPS systems are lighter, quieter, easier to install and require less maintenance, with excellent adaptability across vehicle types and driving conditions. Key benefits include:
- Improved steering assist characteristics, better maneuverability and safety.
- Motor provides assist only during steering, reduces energy consumption.
- Lighter, more compact than hydraulic systems, easier installation and lower noise.
- No hydraulic circuit, simplifies adjustment, testing and assembly automation, reduces production cycles.
- No fluid leakage, reduces warranty costs and environmental impact.
- Better low-temperature performance than hydraulic power steering.
C-EPS: Compact Steering for Small Vehicles
The Column-Assist EPS is an electric power steering system that integrates the motor, ECU, torque sensor and assist mechanism directly into the steering column. This highly compact architecture is ideal for small cars and light EVs, offers space savings, simplified installation and reliable return-to-center performance.
Benefits:
Flexible: Supports brushed or brushless motors, integrated or separate ECU.
Customizable: Steering column and controller design for engines 0.6-1.8L, micro and economy cars.
Driving Comfort: Light steering at low speed, stable handling at high speed.
Low maintenance: High reliability with self-diagnostics and safety control functions.
P-EPS: Direct Response and Optimized Steering Feel
The Pinion-Assist EPS (P-EPS) mounts the motor directly to the steering pinion, provides faster assist response and sharper steering feedback. Its compact design allows easy cabin integration, same dimensions as hydraulic steering units.
Benefits:
High precision: Torque sensor inside EPS housing for better detection and faster response.
Space-saving: Lighter construction with smaller installation space.
ADAS-ready: Fully compatible with advanced driver assistance features.
DP-EPS: High-Precision Dual Pinion Technology
For mid-to-large SUVs, MPVs and pickup trucks, the Dual Pinion EPS (DP-EPS) is a steering system that uses dual pinion technology, separates assist gear from steering shaft. This allows direct force application to the rack and more flexibility in vehicle layout. The dual pinion design makes the system suitable for more vehicles, including medium-sized cars.
Benefits:
Energy efficiency: Servo motor only activates during steering, reduces fuel consumption by 3-5%.
Highest safety: Fully compliant with ISO 26262 ASIL D standards.
Robust performance: Stable under extreme and complex driving conditions.
ADAS excellence: High steering precision at high speed for advanced driver assistance.
Full redundancy: Dual systems for power, communication, sensing, control and motor output to maximize reliability and safety.
R-EPS: High-Torque Steering for Larger, Performance Vehicles
For luxury sedans, high-performance cars and large SUVs, the Rack-Assist EPS delivers assist force to the steering rack, up to 16,000 N of output torque.
Benefits:
Integrated design: Assist unit combined with rack shaft for weight reduction and better assembly precision.
Direct force: Low inertia, low friction and high efficiency.
Advanced sensing: Equipped with high-precision redundant sensors from TDK for autonomous driving and ADAS functionality.
Various EPS Solutions for Steering Safety
Recent advancements in electric power steering (EPS) technology are changing the way vehicles provide steering assistance, making modern systems more efficient, compact and versatile than ever. Dual-pinion EPS (DP-EPS) and column-type EPS (C-EPS) offer tailored solutions for smaller and heavier vehicles, while rack-type EPS (R-EPS) and pinion-type EPS (P-EPS) provide a direct and efficient connection between the assist mechanism and the steering system. This integration brings safety, comfort and steering precision and driver confidence. As EPS evolves, it has become a cornerstone of next-generation automotive design—supporting lane-keeping assistance and autonomous driving and making vehicles safer, more reliable and ready for modern mobility.
OEM-Focused Innovation
“With our full EPS portfolio, OEM customers can choose the right steering solution for any platform, whether it’s a small city EV or a heavy-duty SUV,” said XEPS Foreign Trade Manager, “We combine latest engineering with highest safety standards, so our systems are ready for today’s ADAS and tomorrow’s fully autonomous driving.”
