Commercial Vehicle (CV) Active Power Steering Market Research Information Report by Type (Hydraulic Power Steering (HPS), Electric Power Steering (EPS), Electro-hydraulic Power Steering (EHPS)), by application (Medium commercial vehicles, Heavy commercial vehicles), by Region - Forecast to 2032

Commercial Vehicle Active Power Steering Market Overview

The Commercial Vehicle Active Power Steering Market is projected to grow from 5.2 USD Bn in 2021 to 13.2 USD Bn by 2032, exhibiting a compound annual growth rate (CAGR) 12.1% during the forecast period (2023 - 2032).

Commercial Vehicle (CV) Active Power Steering system enhances controlled energy to the steering mechanism in order to minimize the effort to turn the steered wheels while driving at typical speeds. Active power steering system in heavy commercial vehicles minimizes the physical struggle of the driver while turning the wheel when the vehicle is stopped or in motion. Introduction of advanced assistance functions of power steering in order to increase vehicle safety is expected to have a significant impact during the forecast period. The advanced active power steering is user-friendly and highly compatible with the advanced assistance systems, which is presumed to witness various improvised and innovative assistance functions for steering in near future. Currently, critical factors such as driver’s road safety, fuel efficient driving solutions, and reliable driving at minimal efforts are considered in the global automotive industry.

CV active power steering market has witnessed an outstanding growth in the global automotive market and expected to grow with a CAGR of ~12% over the forecast period. The CV active power steering market is divided into Hydraulic Power Steering (HPS), Electric Power Steering (EPS), and Electro-hydraulic Power Steering (EHPS). Shifting preference of the manufacturers towards Electric Power Steering over Hydraulic Power Steering in order to increase the gas mileage is presumed to escalate the global demand. HPS for commercial vehicles enable the vehicle to be steered using manual effort during the power-steering system failure. However, continuous running of commercial vehicle pumps fluid all the time in HPS, which result in wastage of horsepower and higher fuel emissions. Eliminating an engine-driven hydraulic pump result in the increment of gas mileage up to one mile per gallon (mpg), which is anticipated to boost the market demand for EPS in upcoming years. Moreover, low maintenance better response at different speeds, less power consumption are various factors which are expected to escalate the market demand in future.

CV active power steering is segmented into Light Commercial Vehicle (LCV), Medium Commercial Vehicles (MCV), and Heavy Commercial Vehicle (HCV) by their applications. EPS is implemented on a very large scale in LCVs owing to various advantages offered by them including ease in networking with electronic assistance systems and higher fuel efficiency. However, no electrified steering has been introduced in the HCVs due to front axle load. In addition, Hydraulic power steering is widely used in MCVs owing to various features such as greater safety at minimum efforts, higher controllability under critical situations, absorbs road shocks and many more. However, safety in HCVs remain the primary concern in the CV active power steering market. Automotive manufacturers are advancing the prevailing steering systems by fusing new safety modules such as active steering in the hydraulic steering systems, which is expected to augment the demand over the forecast period.  

Key Players

The prominent market players in the global CV active power steering market include ZF Friedrichshafen AG (Germany), AB Volvo (Sweden), Tedrive steering systems GmbH (Germany), Ognibene Power SPA (Italy), BMW AG (Germany), Knorr-Bremse (Germany), Bosch (Germany), Daimler AG (Germany).

Industry Developments

February 2024: Southern Korean HL Group’s HL Mando Firm, an electric car and autonomous driving system development unit, has teamed up with China’s Tianrun Industrial Technology Co to establish a car parts joint venture focusing on commercial vehicles as part of its global expansion.

The two corporations created Tianrun Mando, with the Chinese automotive parts manufacturer owning a 60% stake and the balance being held by the South Korean firm. In this joint venture based in Shandong province, China, Tianrun invested CNY60m ($8.3m), while HL Mando spent CNY40m.

Tianrun Mando is targeting the worldwide market for electric power steering systems (EPS) for commercial vehicles. The company will concentrate on China before expanding globally; with 60 million units sold annually the country is the world’s second-largest commercial vehicle market.

November 2023: Porsche has unveiled plans for its new Panamera: a sporty luxury sedan which offers an even broader range of digital capabilities than previous models along with fresh expressive design features that seem certain to make any trip memorable – whether it's about comfort or speed! With improved E-Hybrid powertrains that deliver greater performance levels than ever seen before as well as new high-end suspension technologies designed specifically around these models themselves; there are few other cars currently available which can match this level sophistication either mechanically speaking or aesthetically pleasing.

For example, among standard equipment found within each brand-new Panamera includes two-chambered air suspension featuring Porsche Active Suspension Management (PASM); now equipped with an updated valve control system allowing much wider selection between different settings depending upon driver requirements at any given moment during their journey from point A through B – whether taking corners gently or bouncing over bumps with vigour – all without compromising ride quality; because let's face it: nobody wants to feel like they're driving one of those old-fashioned ‘sprung’ cars which used to go up and down like a rollercoaster.

Regional Analysis

Geographically, the global CV active power steering market has been divided into four major regions such as North America, Europe, Asia-Pacific, and the Rest of the World. Amongst all the regions, North America has been witnessed as the major contributor in terms of revenues, strong infrastructure, developed economy, and incessant growing construction and logistics industries. Europe is presumed to hold the largest market share owing to relentless technological developments and rapid implementation of CV active power steering technology in various other application segments.
