The company presented its first-generation “Lean Energy-Saving” Electric power steering, already in production, alongside an upcoming second-generation ADAS electric-hydraulic hybrid power steering system.
First-Generation AE6500: Lightweight and Cost-Effective
Developed in response to global trends toward lightweight construction and energy efficiency, AEAUTO‘s first-generation AE6500 pure hydraulic Electric Power steering system was launched in 2022. Designed specifically for heavy-duty commercial vehicles, it offers several advantages over traditional Electric Power Steering (EPS) systems:
Extreme Lightweight Design: Utilizing biomimetic structure design and advanced materials, the AE6500 achieves a weight reduction of 18% while maintaining an output torque of 8000Nm and variable speed ratio characteristics.
Customizable Turning Feel: Unlike conventional European standards (e.g., Bosch 8098 steering systems), the AE6500 reduces steering effort by 10%-20% and allows dynamic adjustment to suit different regional driving conditions and preferences.
Cost-Competitive Pricing: Through structural optimization and modular production, the system combines high-end quality with mid-range pricing, offering manufacturers a cost-effective solution without compromising on performance.
Upcoming Second-Generation AE6500: ADAS Integration for Smart Driving
The second-generation AE6500 electric-hydraulic hybrid Electric power steering system is set to further revolutionize the industry by integrating advanced driver-assistance systems (ADAS).
Key features include:
Support for L2-L4 Autonomous Driving: The system enables functionalities such as lane-keeping, wind compensation, and automatic parking.
Energy Efficiency: With a 25% reduction in energy consumption in hybrid mode, the system significantly enhances vehicle range.
Redundant Safety Design: Dual-system backup ensures reliability, meeting safety requirements for high-level autonomous driving.
Competitive Advantages Over Traditional Systems
Compared to established systems like Bosch Servocom, the AE6500 series offers:
Lightweight Construction: AE6500 18% weight reduction compared to similar products aids in achieving emission reduction targets.
Localized Adaptation: The system is tailored to meet the needs of emerging markets with adaptable steering characteristics and functionalities.
Smart Integration: The second-generation product seamlessly integrates with ADAS, reducing costs for manufacturers aiming to upgrade their vehicles with intelligent features.
Driving Innovation in Commercial Vehicle Steering
AEAUTO‘s AE6500 series represents a leap forward in commercial vehicle steering technology, addressing both lightweight and intelligent driving demands. With the first generation already making waves in the mid-to-high-end market due to its excellent cost-performance ratio, the second-generation ADAS hybrid system positions the company at the forefront of autonomous driving solutions.
In an era driven by carbon neutrality and connected vehicles, AEAUTO continues to innovate, redefining the value proposition of Electric power steering systems. By providing comprehensive solutions for commercial vehicle manufacturers, the company is paving the way for a greener, more efficient, and safer future in the automotive industry.
