We control what moves
NX NextMotion
One step ahead
Our flexible modular system enables the implementation of any drive, steer or brake-by-wire requirements up to revolutionary system-on-chip (SoC) solutions. Thanks to the modular and scalable system architecture of NX NextMotion, we are already meeting the requirements of future mobility scenarios. By using the latest chip technology and maximum computing power, we are able to integrate additional software modules from our customers into the NX NextMotion ECU. Furthermore, it is possible to cover requirements from the aviation as well as the maritime sector.

- of slip on all tires
- the roll and pitch angle of the vehicle
- the road and tire friction value (grip)
- safety-relevant tire parameters (skew stiffness, wear)
Driving dynamics use cases
- Replacing the previous stability control system with steer-by-wire steering intervention
- Implementation of virtual rear-axle steering
Use cases assistance systems
- Validation of driving commands of the autonomous driver
- Execution of driving commands adapted to the driving and environmental situation
- Warning of worn tires
- Rollover warning for off-road vehicles with precise pitch and roll angles
Why By Wire?
Safer, more flexible, less expensive
The elimination of mechanical connections in steering, braking or driving systems not only enables the complete redesign of the vehicle interior or the development of new functions and features - it also makes a significant contribution to reducing complexity and costs. The digitization of previously manual or hydraulic vehicle functions also guarantees maximum precision as well as unique control, representing a true revolution in the entire vehicle and mobility industry.
Your benefits:
- Improved driving comfort thanks to variably adjustable steering ratio
- Individually applicable/adjustable driving dynamics
- New interior concepts due to the elimination of mechanical connections (steering, brakes, etc.)
- Improved safety through real-time networking of safety-related systems
- Standardization and simplification of vehicle and chassis platforms
- Increased safety through elimination of the steering column
- Elimination of human error through automated steering and braking intervention
- Increased development speed and reduced effort
- Stowable input devices
- Central interface for automation of technical process flows
- Prerequisite for autonomous driving
- Savings in manpower and simultaneous increase in effectiveness (24/7)
