Europe Automotive EPS Market Size

Europe Automotive EPS Market Analysis

The Europe Automotive Electric Power Steering (EPS) Market is projected to grow with a CAGR of more than 6% during the forecast period.

• The integration of numerous steering sensors in an electric power steering (EPS) helps provide additional safety benefits to the driver. Moreover, the enactment of stringent fuel economy norms, along with safety initiatives by the governments and international associations, are considered important drivers for the growth and development of the advanced steering systems.
• Electric power steering systems are fuel-efficient as compared to the other alternatives, which is due to the absence of belt-driven hydraulic or manual pumps, which run constantly, whether assistance is required or not. EPS provides fuel savings as high as 0.4 l for every 100 km, along with a reduction in CO2 emissions of up to 7 g/km.
• Major automakers have their own electric power steering systems such as Ford adaptive power steering. Adaptive steering systems of Ford utilize a precision-controlled actuator just inside the steering wheel, without making any changes to its traditional steering system. Adaptive steering makes the car more nimble and easier to turn.
• Large commercial vehicles, such as buses and trucksare different from passenger cars, as the large vehicles have the requirementof higher torque to provide steering assistance, additionally they have much higher mileages, heavier loads and more constant use than passenger cars, due to all the above reasons EPS is a much needed solution for commercial vehicles.
