Electric Power Steering
Compact design offering all components required for the steering
13 % energy saving in VDI cycle thanks to power-on-demand technology
Easy-to-assemble design
Omission of all hydraulic components, therefore no assembly costs incur for the currently used hydraulic steering (valves, tubes, hoses)
Maintenance free
Ease service due to self test routine
Harmonized system components (transmission, steering motor and –controller, steering angle sensor)
Transmission with automotive gearing guarantees an extremely low noise level
Excellent driving ergonomics (e.g. steering ratio adjusted to actual driving situation)
Steering parameters matched to customer specifications
New features via software modification (e.g. signaling straight-line driving by modifying the steering resistance)
ZF-tested interaction of all system modules
100% EOL tested
ZF’s system responsibility
Certified according to UL583E.
Functional system safety approved by the Technical Control Board (TÜV Süd) according to DIN EN 13849,PL d conformity.

E-Steering vs. Hydrostatic Steering Motivation for Development
| Energy Consumption | Hydraulic circle always active | Only active during steering maneuver |
| Environment | Oil circuit Necessaire
Risk of oil leakage | No oil circuit for steering |
| Hydro motor loud and constantly active | Quiet transmission with automotive gears in short-term operation (Power on demand) |
| Comfort | Fix steering regime | Programmable driver profile |
| Functionality fixed | New features per software modification |
| Complex, decentral system |
