GenSteer™: Fail-Operational Steer-By-Wire without Redundant Electronics

GenSteer is a fail-operational Steer-by-Wire (SbW) system designed to replace conventional orbital and electro-hydraulic steering architectures in Off-Highway vehicles. Traditional systems rely on hydro-mechanical linkages that are robust but limit flexibility, while current Steer-by-Wire implementations require redundant electronic controllers, backup power systems, and complex wiring to achieve fault tolerance.

Traction-X®: The Integrated Drive and Suspension for Next-Generation Two-Wheelers

Traction-X® is a patent-protected wheel, drive and suspension architecture that solves a structural weakness in urban two-wheelers. It addresses a long-standing conflict in scooter design: Customers want a protected footwell, relaxed seating position and compact wheelbase, but these packaging requirements force small wheels and heavy powertrain swingarms. The result is reduced stability, tire grip,
