U.S. TRW Automotive (NYSE: TRW) today announced the successful signing of a large business, for more than a series of light commercial vehicle manufacturers (LCV) to provide electric hydraulic power steering systems (EPHS), expected in 2013 . TRW electro-hydraulic power steering system is available with electric power steering (EPS) comparable fuel economy and emissions performance, and higher load can be applied to vehicles. The latest generation of TRW electro-hydraulic steering systems Gen-C structure based on 12 volts, the power output performance of the market leader.

    Recently, the European Commission announced the light commercial vehicle will perform more stringent emission standards, the goal is in 2017 the LCV reduced emissions per kilometer of 175 grams in 2020 to 147 grams.

    TRW's director of global product planning CharlieCregeur shift, said: "electro-hydraulic power steering support of this mature technology light commercial vehicles, or vans. Such vehicles the average annual mileage in one hundred thousand kilometers or more, if every one hundred kilometers The fuel savings can reach 0.3 liters, reduction about 7 grams, then for a large team and individual business operators, its benefits are obvious now, the market used in the electro-hydraulic power steering system has 20 million sets, the system performance and reliability have been fully verified. "

    Vice President of Engineering FrankLubischer turn, added: "The increasingly stringent vehicle emission standards, while the pure electric power steering is also unable to meet certain load requirements, therefore, electro-hydraulic power steering in the LCV market with great potential for development, we produced Gen-C motor pump unit can provide up to one kilowatt of power, for not more than 7 tons of weight to support up to 18kN load vehicle. "

    Electro-hydraulic power steering fuel economy and comfort features for the commercial vehicle drivers and commercial fleet is very attractive. TRW electro-hydraulic power steering system also uses an advanced sense of speed steering technology, the adjustment is more flexible to meet various requirements under the road driving to ensure safety under high speed and robust sense, and in vehicles and provide a comfortable city driving experience. According to other vehicle subsystems provide load information, electro-hydraulic power steering can also choose to apply different levels of aid.

    Lubischer President concluded: "To quickly bring to market new vehicles and new power scheme, car manufacturers increasingly fierce competition between the electro-hydraulic power steering technology is easily applied, the motor pump unit assembly flexibility, shorter development cycles, lower cost of the project advantages, but also consistently good feedback from the market The technology has been included B-class car, SUV, LCV, including all types of vehicles used in TRW for its electric power steering (EPS) market-leading solutions, we also see that people thought would be completely replaced EPS electro-hydraulic power steering technology, market demand is still ongoing.
