SSP 225 – Electro-Mechanical Power Steering System
The electro-mechanical power steering (EPS) system assists the driver’s steering input using an electric motor. This motor drives a worm gear, providing speed-dependent steering assistance.
The system delivers a direct steering feel without unwanted feedback from the road.
This Self-Study Programme explains the design and operation of this technology and highlights the differences compared with conventional hydraulic power steering systems.
The electro-mechanical power steering system is currently installed on the Lupo 3L TDI.
