“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.”

The REPS is designed for heavier vehicles to handle higher front-axle loads and optimise 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.

With the added weight of batteries in electric vehicles, OEMs are also turning to high output REPS systems which nearly doubles the steering load capability of standard REPS. The supplier’s systems can steer up to 24 kilonewtons (kN) of load compared with 10-17 kN for a typical standard REPS.
