ADAS isn't just for luxury cars anymore. Today's entry-level SUV buyers expect lane keep assist, automatic parking, and traffic jam assist-even in base models. The problem? Traditional steering systems struggle to handle these features in compact platforms. TRION column electric power steering (C-EPS) system solves this, making ADAS accessible without redesigning the car.
Precision That Fits in Small Packages
ADAS features like lane keep assist (LKA) need steering that responds in milliseconds, with minimal "play." Our C-EPS delivers:
The TOS sensor tracks angle changes within 0.3°, so LKA can nudge the wheel 2° to keep the car centered-no overcorrection.
The motor reacts in 50ms (faster than a human blink), critical for avoiding sudden lane drifts.
A German OEM testing LKA with our system found:
Lane deviation incidents dropped by 42% in highway tests.
The system worked reliably even in tight turns (15°+ steering angle), where traditional EPS often falters.
Seamless Integration, No Extra Weight
Adding ADAS to small SUVs usually means extra sensors, wiring, and controllers-bulking up the car. Our C-EPS avoids this:
Its ECU connects directly to the vehicle's ADAS computer via CAN FD, cutting 1.2kg of extra wiring.
It shares power with the car's 12V system, so no need for a separate battery (saving another 0.8kg).
A Chinese automaker launching an entry-level EV SUV used this to add LKA and automatic parking without increasing curb weight: "We kept the range at 400km, which was non-negotiable for our buyers."
Future-Proof for More ADAS to Come
Today's small SUVs need to support tomorrow's features (e.g., automated lane changes). Our C-EPS is ready:
OTA updates let you add new ADAS functions (e.g., improved parking algorithms) without recalling vehicles.
The motor and sensor have 20% extra capacity, so they can handle more complex steering commands as ADAS evolves.
A U.S. brand planning a 2026 model refresh noted: "We won't need to swap out the steering system to add Level 3 features. That's a $2M savings in retooling."
