Steeling systems with steel housing in passenger cars and light commercial vehicles

The deployment of welded steel housings has led to a rethinking of steering gear development and production, as they allow greater design flexibility and faster fulfilment of special design requirements from car makers. The rack-and-pinion steering gear with a steel housing increases steering comfort and, due to the use of an adjustable vane pump, reduces fuel consumption and CO2 emissions. Tedrive Steering has gained experience with steel housings in passenger cars and is also making use of this technology for light commercial vehicles.
