Nexteer Automotive Systems has announced the release of its latest steer-by-wire technology: the Direct-Drive Steering Feel Simulator (DD-HWA). This game changing product sets a new standard in steering feel, system integration and vehicle design flexibility, allowing OEMs to deliver next generation driving experiences across software defined vehicles and various levels of assisted and autonomous driving.
The DD-HWA is compatible with 12V and 48V vehicle architectures, supporting integration across conventional, hybrid and electric vehicle platforms worldwide. Key benefits include:
- Premium steering feel and feedback: Smooth and responsive steering for safe, controllable and comfortable driving in all conditions.
- Compact and lightweight design: Supports low and high placement layouts, allowing the feedback actuator to be installed almost anywhere in the cabin, especially important for EVs.
- Enhanced reliability and safety: Rigid connection structure improves steering precision, while redundant multi-channel angle sensors and built-in safety mechanisms ensure system stability.
- Simplified architecture and high-performance motor: Reduced part count and vertical integration of core components improves supply chain response and quality control.
According to Nexteer, this is a major milestone in the transition from traditional mechanical steering to digital steer-by-wire, giving OEMs the ability to create differentiated user experiences while future proofing their platforms.
