Abstract

The variable rack stroke (VRS) system is a device developed and patented by Hyundai/Kia that reduces the minimum turning radius of a vehicle by as much as 0.3 to 0.5 m. In addition, for small-sized cars the VRS system can be used to increase the strength of the side member, thus improving collision safety, endurance, and NVH performance (noise, vibration, and harshness).
