Against the trend of software-defined vehicles, traditional hydraulic brakes are being replaced by Electro-Mechanical Brake (EMB), a core component of Motion-by-Wire chassis control. Developed by Nexteer drawing on its mature steer-by-wire expertise, EMB adopts all-electronic independent four-wheel actuation instead of hydraulic pipelines. It brings prominent strengths including faster response, independent wheel braking control, customizable brake pedal feel, dual-power safety redundancy, smaller layout space, less maintenance and higher energy efficiency to extend EV range. More than an upgraded brake component, EMB realizes deep coordination with steer-by-wire and other chassis systems, forming an integrated software-defined motion control framework. It empowers advanced functions like AES and steer-by-brake, laying a foundational technology path for intelligent, safe next-generation new energy vehicles.
The global EPS steering rack market keeps growing driven by booming new energy vehicles. Electric power steering racks fully replace hydraulic steering systems for higher energy efficiency.
