It all adds up to more than 2.5 million Delphi Electric Power

Steering units produced worldwide—and counting.

“What’s more,
the handling is
entertaining, the electric
power steering offers decent
feedback, and the ride
quality is excellent for
such a small car.”
AutoExpress, September

 Delphi Electric Power Steering is fully integratable with

column rake/telescope.

The system incorporates world-class column energy

absorbing technology.

Delphi Electric Power Steering includes full design control of

key electromechanical components such as sensors, motors,

and controllers.

The Delphi Difference

Delphi’s wheel-to-wheel system integration capability

enables the best total system performance.

The system offers a proprietary active return-to-center

“The feature for enhanced returnability, requiring less effort from

steering system is
the driver. Another advanced feature is active damping,
totally new compared to
the Corsa and comes from designed to help eliminate overshoot during a “back-to-
supplier Delphi. It is laid out
more directly, which makes the center” return for improved vehicle stability and safety.
Meriva much more agile and
nice handling …”
Auto Motor und Sport, Delphi’s system features a DC brushless motor for

superior control capabilities.

“The
Malibu has
nicely weighted
electrically boosted
steering and longish
suspension travel that
gobbles ruts.”
Motor Trend, September

“… the
steering system
shows a sensitive
connection to
the road.”

 A Technology Revolution
Delphi Electric Power Steering is a value-packed technology
that delivers benefits to vehicle manufacturers, drivers,
and the environment. Delphi Electric Power Steering:
• Eliminates the pump, hoses, and hydraulic fluids for
reduced maintenance and reduced recycling
• Enables fuel economy comparable to manual steering
(up to 4 percent improvement)
• Enhances safety by maintaining power steering in the
event of an engine stall
• Provides variable effort steering for uncompromised
city and highway driving
• Reduces development time via rapid laptop tuning—
from eight months to just one week
• Enables reduced assembly time by up to four minutes
• Serves as a technology enabler for lanekeeping, active
front steering, hybrid cars, chassis control integration,
and active tuning

“The
electrical power
assisted steering works
well, making parking easy
around town, yet firm and
direct enough for motorways
when the wind is blowing.”
Sunday Business Post,
July 2003 (Opel Meriva)

“Also
curves ‘taste well’
with the Meriva. It
understeers lightly, building
up quite high lateral
accelerations, precise to drive with
the electrically powered steering.
… on the Meriva steering precision
and good easiness of handling
give pleasure of driving.”
