Electrically powered steering uses an electric motor to drive either the power steering hydraulic pump or the steering linkage directly. The power steering function is therefore independent of engine speed, resulting in significant energy savings. 9, record 1, English, - electric%20power%20steering

La direction à assistance électrique est un système dans lequel un moteur électrique situé sur la colonne de direction, sur le pignon ou sur la crémaillère assiste le conducteur pour le braquage des roues. Des capteurs mesurent des paramètres tels que l'angle volant ou la vitesse du véhicule. Ces informations sont transmises à un calculateur qui évalue, en temps réel, l'assistance optimale à apporter au conducteur par le moteur électrique. 1, record 1, French, - direction%20%C3%A0%20assistance%20%C3%A9lectrique
