Abstract

Technical discussions about effective means of addressing reduction in fuel consumption and lower CO2 emissions are often centred on elaborate and costly drive train modifications. The automotive supplier TRW shows how, independent of the selected drive train concept, steering solutions and leading-edge braking technologies can help to optimise consumption levels. For example, TRW can quickly adapt the electro-mechanical and electro-hydraulic steering system, the electronic stability control with a regenerative braking function ESC-R and the electro-hydraulic braking system SCB to different models and platforms.
