Nexteer Automotive Group Ltd.

Company Profile

Business Overview

-The Company is a global leader in developing and manufacturing advanced steering and driveline systems as well as advanced driver assistance systems and autonomous vehicle technologies. The Company was previously a business division under GM focusing on steering operations before splitting off as a part of Delphi Corporation.

-In 2010, the Company was acquired by Pacific Century Motors, based in China.

-In recent years, the Company’s primary focus has been on electric power steering (EPS) systems, due to its benefits of improved fuel economy and reduced emissions. In addition, EPS systems can act as an enabler for both advanced driver assistance and autonomous technologies. As such, part of the Company’s growth strategy is to focus on the development and sale of EPS systems. In the fiscal year ended December 31, 2019, despite the decrease in the Company’s total sales, the percentage of the Company’s total sales comprised of EPS systems increased to 67.4%. The Company’s EPS sales have steadily comprised more of its total business over the past five years.
