Underscores Nexteer’s Steer-by-Wire Leadership & Trusted Partnership with China’s Leading OEMs
AUBURN HILLS, MI AND SUZHOU, CHINA / ACCESS Newswire / January 6, 2026 / Nexteer Automotive, a global leader in advanced steering and motion control technologies, recently sponsored a Coalition Meeting of the Automotive Chassis-by-Wire Standards Research Group in China, to advance the country’s national Steer-by-Wire (SbW) standard.
The meeting convened the “Chassis-by-Wire Standard Research Group,” a specialized committee within China Automotive Standardization Research Institute responsible for developing and refining China’s national Chassis-by-Wire and SbW standard. Nexteer has been an active member of this working group since 2023, playing a collaborative role in shaping technical, safety and performance requirements for next-generation steering systems. On December 2, 2025, the national steering standard GB 17675‑2025, developed with the participation of this working group, has now been officially released.
According to various industry analysts, China is expected to lead global adoption of SbW technology as the market rapidly advances toward electrified, intelligent and software-defined vehicles. The development of a national SbW standard provides OEMs with regulatory clarity and confidence to accelerate deployment of this transformative technology at scale.
“Steer-by-Wire is a foundational technology for the future of vehicle motion control,” said Geoff Krieger, Product Line Executive Director, SbW, Nexteer Automotive. “We are honored to contribute to the development of China’s national SbW standards that will support safe, reliable and scalable adoption of SbW technology.
