Powering the Future Across Industries
Our TruEPS™ can be integrated with independent front suspension or with traditional rigid axle pitman arm to draglink mounting
Traditional Rigid Axle
Most Class 6-8 trucks still use rigid axles. What’s special about our TruEPS steering system is that it allows for “center mount position”.
Our compact fully integrated EPS gives you all the design freedom your designers ever wished for.
Of course we are also supporting the traditional mounting position as you can see in the image below.
Independent Front Suspension
For low-floor buses it’s essential to optimize for minimized entry height. Independent front suspension like in this example from our partners eVersum is the preferred solution.
Our TruEPS system has strong advantages for this axle design with its super compact design and integrated components.
