AT the Auto Shanghai 2025, Nexteer Automotive unveiled its latest motion control innovations under the theme “Pioneering Motion Control Globally at China Speed – Vision, Velocity and Value.” Visitors experienced how the company was shaping the future of mobility through motion-by-wire, software-defined chassis, and other related technologies.
Nexteer showcased cutting-edge technologies across six experiential zones within its exhibit at the National Convention and Exhibition Centre from 23 April to 2 May 2025.
Motion-by-Wire Zone: This interactive display engaged visitors with a driving simulation and featured groundbreaking innovations for next-generation safety, comfort, and performance, such as:
Steer-by-Wire & Rear-Wheel Steering, including software and systems integration, Handwheel Actuators, and Roadwheel Actuators (front and rear).
Brake-by-Wire: Nexteer’s Electro-Mechanical Braking made its public debut following its launch announcement the previous week. The company leveraged its technology building blocks to create a modular, high-precision braking system to strategically expand into “Motion-by-Wire” chassis control.
Software that powered Nexteer’s by-wire technologies and enabled software-defined chassis, such as advanced vehicle dynamics functions (including Steer-by-Brake, Hands-Off Detection, etc.), vehicle health management, and tools for accelerating vehicle development and integration.
Driveline, delivering advanced comfort, durability, and power through a portfolio of premium, low-mass, compact Halfshafts and High Efficiency/TriGlide Joints – especially important in NEVs and eDrive powertrains with increased torque and regenerative braking demands.
High Performance, High Comfort, High Efficiency & High Availability Zones: With industry-leading noise, vibration, and harshness (NVH) performance, advanced lightweighting, and precise motion control, these zones demonstrated how Nexteer’s steering, braking, driveline, and software technologies seamlessly integrated to deliver unparalleled performance, comfort, efficiency, and high availability (safety and optimised redundancies). A few technology examples included Modular Electric Power Steering (EPS), High Output EPS, premium Halfshafts, Compact Tripot Joint, 8-Ball CV Joint, Ball Spline Axle, and more.
“Pioneer Lab” Zone: Complementing public displays, Nexteer hosted by-invitation-only sessions in the Pioneer Lab – engaging OEMs in private discussions regarding innovation pipelines and collaboration opportunities.
“As a proven, global innovator of safety-critical motion control, Nexteer is a trusted partner domestically in China and across global markets. We have been growing alongside leading Chinese OEMs, enabling them – as well as legacy OEMs – to anticipate, adapt, and get to market quickly with the latest technologies with built-in quality and value. OEMs choose Nexteer because vision, velocity, and value are critical to succeed in hyper-competitive and quickly shifting markets,”* said Robin Milavec, president, chief technology officer, chief strategy officer, and executive board director, Nexteer Automotive.
