The Circuit: Electrification

The transition to electric vehicles (EVs) has been a focus of OEMs around the globe seeking cleaner, more efficient mobility. From the chassis perspective, this can present new challenges as EVs have heavier load requirements due to heavy batteries, as well as new packaging and noise, vibration and harshness (NVH) needs as the noise of the road isn’t masked by an internal combustion engine.??

On the Steering front, we offer advanced steering technologies that are capable of handling EVs’ heavier load requirements, plus packaging and NVH needs.?

On the Driveline front, our technologies include high efficiency joints to help extend battery life and battery charge, while lightweight axles are designed with NVH performance in mind.?

Advanced Steering and Driveline Technologies for Electrified Trucks?

Automakers are continuing to move toward an electrified future, and as many plan to launch electric versions of their flagship trucks and SUVs in the coming years, the larger vehicle segments are not being overlooked. According to Forbes, new trucks are outselling new cars at a record pace of more than three to one, with the light truck segment (which includes pickups, SUVs, crossovers, minivans and some smaller delivery vehicles) accounting for approximately 75 percent of all new vehicle sales in 2021.?

How Driveline Technologies Enhance Your Driving Experience?

For a lot of people, the driving experience is much more than just getting from point A to point B. Whether it’s electric vehicles (EVs), off-road vehicles (ORVs) or muscle cars, they often require specific components for specialized driving experiences – think the quietness of EVs, driving over rocky terrains in an ORV or going from 0 to 60 mph in a muscle car.??

Nexteer’s driveline systems – which transmit torque from the engine to roadwheels – are key components to enhancing the driving experience in all these wildly different scenarios.?
