Steering systems
VSE produces and develops steering systems for trucks, buses and coaches, special vehicles and trailers. Trailer steering systems are gaining increasing popularity, to more efficiently reach hard-to-reach locations, such as loading and unloading areas. This makes vehicles more productive, resulting in a better revenue model for the end user. With VSE steering systems, however, much more is possible than just achieving additional manoeuvrability.
REACH LOCATIONS THAT WERE PREVIOUSLY IMPOSSIBLE
OPTIMUM MANOEUVRABILITY
VSE stands apart in the industry because our steering systems are based on the use of electronics and hydraulics.
The big advantage compared to other steering systems on the market is that our steering systems are based on the Ackermann principle, enabling them to attain an optimum steering angle. This makes it possible to reach hard-to-reach locations, boosting a vehicle’s productivity by up to 30%!
COST SAVINGS
VSE steering systems are also compact and require little energy, providing significant fuel savings of up to 5% for trucks and 20% for trailers!
Because the steering systems have no mechanical connections, maintenance costs can be drastically reduced, by as much as 65%!
DESIGN FREEDOM
A key feature of VSE’s steering systems is that they consist of few components. A big advantage of the compact system is the incredible amount of design freedom this offers. This means there is no need to make concessions to a vehicle’s design.
DURABILITY
Our steering systems enable vehicles to deliver larger loads to more delivery points, including many that were previously impossible. This means less traffic from A to B, making this a more sustainable solution.
Our steering systems are also light, so huge fuel savings can be achieved in comparison to other steering systems on the market.
MORE THAN JUST A STEERING SOLUTION
VAST VEHICLE KNOWLEDGE
When developing a new truck, vehicle knowledge is extremely important. VSE is willing and able to work with you from start to finish during development of a new truck to help you find the best steering and suspension solution for a particular application.
The VSE team includes experts in vehicle design and software, mechanical, electrical and hydraulic systems. VSE also develops products in accordance with the latest safety and development standards.
VSE steering systems are developed and manufactured by VSE.
MADE-TO-ORDER STEERING SYSTEM
Because VSE systems are available as both standard and made-to-order solutions, the systems can be integrated into any truck, bus or coach, special vehicle or trailer.
VSE also utilises the latest technologies, and because the systems are controlled electronically they are future-proof!
WHY STEER?
Roads are becoming increasingly congested, more and more roundabouts are being built and accessibility is poor on many private properties. Because sustainability and cost savings are ever-growing concerns, there is a desire to work as efficiently as possible.
In order to get where you need to go at poorly accessible sites without sacrificing cargo capacity a vehicle can be steered.
An additional advantage of steering over not steering is the significant savings on tyre costs, which can be as high as 400%!
