What does EPS mean when it appears in a car?

[ZacharyLee]

EPS in a car stands for Electric Power Steering. Its function is to use the power generated by an electric motor to assist the driver in steering. The system directly provides steering assistance through an electric power motor, eliminating the need for components such as a power steering oil pump, hoses, hydraulic fluid, drive belt, and pulley mounted on the engine, saving energy and protecting the environment. The EPS system has many advantages: 1. The motor only provides assistance when steering, which can significantly reduce fuel consumption. 2. The amount of steering assistance can be adjusted via software, balancing ease of steering at low speeds with handling stability at high speeds, and it has good returnability. 3. The steering mechanism operates with less noise and makes turning the wheel easier.
