What does EPS stand for?
1 Answers
Automotive EPS stands for Electric-Power-Steering system. Its function is to use the power generated by an electric motor to assist the driver with power steering. Compared with the traditional Hydraulic Power Steering system (HPS), the EPS system has many advantages: 1. The motor only provides assistance during steering, which can significantly reduce fuel consumption. 2. The steering assistance level can be adjusted via software, balancing steering ease at low speeds and handling stability at high speeds, with good returnability. 3. The steering gear operates with less noise and provides lighter steering effort.
