The growing integration of electric power steering (EPS) systems in commercial vehicles such as buses and trucks is pushing up their demand all over the world. Commercial vehicles usually operate at night and have to travel through remote locations, often facing harsh weather and conditions. Thus, commercial vehicle drivers and fleet owners are increasingly incorporating electric power steering systems in their vehicles in order to reduce the chances of road accidents.
Additionally, the implementation of regulations regarding the adoption of advanced driver assistance systems (ADAS) with several vehicle systems by the governments of various countries is also propelling the demand for electric power steering systems. For example, as per the Regulation No. 79 of the Economic Commission for Europe, of the United Nations (UN/ECE), the uniform provisions pertaining to the approval of automobiles mandate the installation of advanced steering equipment in vehicles.
