By GlobalDataNexteer Automotive CEO and executive board director, chairman of the board, Zili Lei said: “For the first time in our company’s history, Nexteer crossed over $4bn in annual revenue – marking another period of year-over-year revenue growth that continues to outpace the market as measured by the change in global OEM unit production.
“In 2023, Nexteer also achieved record growth in the Asia Pacific region – surpassing $1.2bn in revenue. We continue to seize tremendous growth opportunities in Asia Pacific by securing new business with leading global and Chinese domestic automakers.”
Nexteer’s financial success was complemented by a record number of 77 customer programme launches in 2024.
Recently, Nexteer introduced a new rear-wheel steering (RWS) system, designed to enhance the driving experience for heavier vehicles with long wheelbases, including trucks, SUVs, and electric vehicles.
This system allows the rear wheels to turn up to 12 degrees in coordination with the front wheels, offering improved manoeuvrability, stability, safety, and performance.
