NEXTEER ACHIEVES GLOBAL PRODUCTION MILESTONE OF 100 MILLION ELECTRIC POWER STEERING SYSTEMS

0

AUBURN HILLS, Mich., Dec. 14, 2023 /PRNewswire/ — Today, Nexteer Automotive announced its global production milestone of 100 million electric power steering (EPS) systems – a key technology enabling fuel efficiency and advanced safety and performance. Nexteer is a global leader of EPS – serving more than 60 customers around the world.

"Nexteer’s EPS systems provide advanced safety and performance along with precise, predictable feel of the road. In essence, EPS acts as the ‘heart’ of the vehicle’s personality and performance by giving the driver control and feel of the road," said Robin Milavec, President, Chief Technology Officer (CTO), Chief Strategy Officer (CSO) and Executive Board Director, Nexteer Automotive. "As the number one EPS supplier in North America and number three globally, Nexteer’s growth has been fueled by our alignment to key megatrends like electrification and software, as well as our long-standing commitment to relentless innovation and experience as systems integrators."

Nexteer’s EPS systems are currently featured in eight out of ten full-size trucks in North America, two out of five small cars in Europe. And in China in recent 2 years, more than one out of four BYD cars and six out of ten Changan cars are equipped with Nexteer EPS systems. The company’s EPS systems can be found on vehicles around the world such as the GMC Hummer EV, Ford F150 and F150 Lightning EV, Ford Bronco, RAM 1500, Jeep Grand Cherokee, Peugeot 208, Jeep Avenger, Chevrolet Silverado, Cadillac Escalade, Zeekr 001 EV, BMW 1-Series, BYD Song Plus/Song Pro/Ocean-Series, GAC Aion S/Y, Chery Tiggo 7/ Arrizo 8, Changan EADO/UNI-V and more.

About EPS

EPS uses an electric motor to assist driver steering. Hardware and software are developed concurrently and work seamlessly together to connect the driver with the road – accounting for driving dynamics and the operating environment. This "connection to the road" provides the driver an experience consistent with the vehicle’s brand (such as luxury, sport, etc.), while also giving important safety cues regarding the type of road surface the driver is traveling on (such as icy, gravel, etc.).

EPS is also a key advanced driver assistance systems (ADAS) feature enabler. EPS translates data from the vehicle’s electronic control unit (ECU) into precise mechanical steering functions. Many Nexteer EPS-enabled ADAS features are already on the road today such as park assist, lane keeping, lane departure warning, traffic jam assist and more.

Nexteer’s Complete Global EPS Portfolio

Nexteer offers a complete portfolio of EPS systems that can steer vehicles of all sizes – from small cars to heavy-duty trucks and light commercial vehicles. EPS solutions from Nexteer include Steer-by-Wire, Rack-Assist EPS (REPS), Dual Pinion-Assist EPS (DPEPS), Single Pinion-Assist EPS (SPEPS) and Column-Assist EPS (CEPS).

Nexteer also offers High Output, High Availability and Modular options for its EPS systems. High Output EPS increases the steering capabilities to allow heavier vehicles, like EVs, to take advantage of EPS’s advanced safety, comfort and fuel economy benefits. High Availability EPS ensures the steering safety net is always on through intelligently optimized software designed for simultaneous, multi-path processing and hardware redundancies. Modular EPS leverages a cost-effective, modular platform design with flexibility to meet OEMs’ wide-ranging requirements for advanced steering systems.

2023 Nexteer EPS Production Milestones

In addition to surpassing the 100 million EPS systems milestone globally, Nexteer also accomplished several local EPS production milestones, including:

Saginaw, Mich., USA: 15 million REPS systems Querétaro, Mexico: 20 million EPS systems Tychy, Poland: 15 million CEPS systems Suzhou, China: 12 million EPS systems

"Nexteer’s 2023 EPS production milestones are a testament to our team’s commitment to producing high-quality, safety-critical steering systems for our customers around the world," said Milavec.

Nexteer Automotive (HK 1316) is a global leading motion control technology company accelerating mobility to be safe, green and exciting.

HONG KONG, Dec. 14, 2023 /PRNewswire/ — From International Luxury Travel Market (ILTM) Cannes, Marriott International, Inc. announces its milestone 500th luxury hotel opening, bolstering its position as a leader in luxury. Featuring an unrivaled portfolio of luxury hotel brands, The Ritz-Carlton, St. Regis Hotels & Resorts, W Hotels, The Luxury Collection, EDITION, JW Marriott and Bulgari Hotels & Resorts, Marriott confidently pushes the boundaries of experiential travel reimagining the future of luxury and offering the limitless and transformational power of cultural discovery.

Over 200 luxury hotels and resorts across Marriott’s luxury portfolio are in the global development pipeline, including 24 properties expected to open in 2024.

"The debut of The St. Regis Riyadh as our 500th luxury hotel stands as a momentous milestone for Marriott International, underscoring our mission to bring unparalleled access to the most exclusive destinations and farthest reaches of the world," noted Tina Edmundson, President of Luxury at Marriott International. "Our luxury portfolio is complemented by truly exceptional guest experiences, allowing us to set the standard for the future of indulgent travel, while continuously innovating and blazing new trails.

As the hospitality industry continues to see unprecedented demand for travel and personalized experiences, Marriott is uniquely poised to not only anticipate trends forecasted in the luxury space, but to define them as well. Jenni Benzaquen, Senior Vice President of The Ritz-Carlton and St. Regis Hotels & Resorts, shares: "We are expanding the reaches of our portfolio to what we have coined ‘nu-luxury frontiers’ – boundary-breaking escapes that combine guests’ desires for authenticity, adventure, and exclusivity. We are consistently pushing the limits, and ourselves, to go beyond star ratings to offer truly transformative experiences and unbridled access that long outlast a traveler’s itinerary. While 2023 saw increased demand to revisit the beloved luxury destinations that travelers had long missed, guests are now focusing on new destinations, ethical escapes and a desire to champion social practices so that travel remains sustainable for generations to come."

Ritz-Carlton Reserve is also expected to open two properties next year – Nujuma, a Ritz-Carlton Reserve in the Red Sea, and  Nekajui, a Ritz-Carlton Reserve on the Papagayo Peninsula in Costa Rica, each offering a distinct and truly immersive getaway.

St. Regis Defines its Position as a Global Luxury Icon

In the year ahead St. Regis anticipates focused growth across its resort portfolio including openings in the most coveted leisure destinations from Los Cabos to Cap Cana in the Dominican Republic to Florida’s exclusive Longboat Key.

W Hotels Continues Bold Brand Evolution to Cater to the Next Generation Luxury Traveler

The Rome EDITION officially debuted in July, while The Singapore EDITION and The Riviera Maya EDITION at Kanai opened in preview in November, with The Tokyo EDITION, Ginza similarly launching in preview in mid-December. These strategic expansions pave the way for the brand to venture into new territories, showcasing EDITION’s innovative and unparalleled approach to curating distinctive, personalized experiences that authentically embody the essence of each location. Building on its existing portfolio of 19 hotels across global destinations like New York, Barcelona, Iceland, Tokyo, and Dubai, EDITION Hotels expects to launch into another new market next year. Looking ahead to 2024, EDITION is slated to venture into Saudi Arabia with the anticipated opening of The Jeddah EDITION along the Jeddah Corniche.

  • Equivalent of around 76% of total trees in Singapore absorbing CO2 per year
  • Almost 56% of purchases on the Carousell marketplace displaced the purchase of a new item
  • On average across Carousell marketplace’s six key markets, 55% of surveyed users reported an increase in buying and selling of secondhand items in 2022 as compared to 2021
  • Mr Gaurav Bhasin, Chief Strategy Officer, Carousell Group said, “By facilitating secondhand transactions, Carousell Group holds a central role in advancing the circular economy alongside our users in the Greater Southeast Asia region. As a key enabler of the circular economy in our region, we have a responsibility to lead by example and measure the potential positive impact of choosing secondhand products over new ones in a trustworthy and transparent way. In addition to the Avoided Emissions calculations, we have also taken the opportunity to calculate our Group’s Carbon Footprint. The robustness of our chosen methodology underscores our strong commitment to sustainability, and it forms the bedrock of our sustainability endeavours.”

    To quantify our impact, Carousell partnered with Vaayu, a European climate tech company leveraging proprietary AI and machine learning technology and utilising its Life Cycle Assessment (LCA) database of over 600,000 product data points. As the initial phase of Carousell Group’s quantification journey, the scope of the report covers only the four goods categories of Carousell, Laku6 and REFASH. The Group is committed to progressively incorporating all remaining categories and integrating other Group brands Mudah.my, Chợ Tốt and OneShift within the scope in the coming years.

    Ms Namrata Sandhu, Co-founder and CEO, Vaayu said, “Retail is responsible for 25% of global carbon emissions and with research continuing to show we’re not on track to keep global warming below 1.5C, we’re at a critical inflection point. Circular business models, like recommerce, offer a clear path to reducing retail’s impact on our planet, which is why we are so proud to partner with Carousell Group to quantify its climate impact and empower communications with its users.”

    Besides the quantification of Avoided Emissions, the report also underscores the significance of every individual transaction in contributing to the overall circular economy impact. For instance, buying a secondhand sofa on Carousell can, on average, save up to 131 kg of Co2e, the equivalent of almost six trees absorbing Co2 per year.

    As part of Carousell Group’s goal to accelerate the future of secondhand through recommerce, the Group’s marketplaces have been rolling out a variety of recommerce programmes and features across multiple platforms and markets this year. Mr Quek Siu Rui, Co-founder and Chief Executive Officer, Carousell Group said, “Our mission is to make secondhand the first choice for everyone. We have stayed true to this mission over the past 11 years, and we remain committed to making selling and buying secondhand even simpler, more trusted and convenient. With the release of the report, we hope more people realise how easy it is to embrace secondhand as a lifestyle and contribute to a greener world, without compromising on the things they enjoy.”
