Steer-by-Wire
Arnold NextG puts an end to the past: the old, classic steering column is obsolete. With our revolutionary steer-by-wire technology, steering signals are transmitted purely electronically – precise, safe, direct, and without detours.
The result? A completely new dimension of vehicle control that elevates design freedom and driving dynamics to new levels. The future steers electrically – and it starts now.
NX NextMotion: Fail-safe Electronic Steering
The steering revolution starts here.
Arnold NextG breaks with the past and redefines vehicle technology. With our highly redundant steer-by-wire systems, we set new benchmarks: fail-safe, platform-independent, and as a convenient add-on solution. NX NextMotion accelerates system approvals from authorities thanks to intelligent redundancy, paving the way for autonomous driving on public roads.
With over 20 years of experience and a team combining expertise and innovative spirit, we set new standards. Our groundbreaking technology enables unprecedented possibilities: flexible interiors, entirely new vehicle designs, and more precise vehicle dynamics controls.
Steer-by-Wire is more than just technology – it’s the future. And we make it possible.
Advantages of Steer-by-Wire – The New Way to Steer
Unlimited Freedom in Vehicle Design and Construction:
Goodbye, steering column! Without mechanical steering components, entirely new possibilities arise for interior, utility, and engine compartment design. You dream it, we make it happen.
Safety on a New Level:
No steering column, reduced injury risk. Our parametric steering capabilities adapt lightning-fast to any driving situation – for maximum safety, always and everywhere.
The Key to Autonomous Driving:
Steer-by-Wire isn’t a component; it’s the component. Automatic parking, lane-keeping? Without us, it’s just a dream. With us, it’s reality.
More Comfort – Fewer Vibrations:
Road noise, vibrations? Not with us. Our technology filters it all out and ensures buttery-smooth steering – whether on cobblestones or highways.
Less Weight, More Efficiency:
Fewer parts, more performance. Our systems make vehicles lighter, save energy, and reduce tire and brake wear. Efficiency you can feel.
Driving Feel as You Want It:
Individual and electric: with digitized steering and real force feedback, we create a steering experience that couldn’t be more precise or personal.
Control That Inspires:
Our adaptive steering thinks along: gentle and comfortable when parking, stable and direct at high speeds. Perfect control in every situation.
Redefining Sustainability:
15% less energy consumption, 43.5% more efficiency. And we also help reduce CO₂ emissions. Steer-by-Wire isn’t just smart – it’s green.

Steer-by-Wire: Everything You Need to Know About Digital Steering
Vehicle steering is evolving: Steer-by-wire replaces mechanical linkages with digital control signals. Instead of transmitting steering input via a physical connection to the front axle, the system sends precise electronic signals—enabling greater control, lower maintenance, and entirely new vehicle design concepts.
While this technology has long been standard in aviation (fly-by-wire), it is now making its way onto the road. Modern steer-by-wire systems are already approved for road use and are increasingly being integrated into commercial vehicles, autonomous shuttles, and specialized machinery. With NX NextMotion, Arnold NextG takes it a step further—delivering a robust, redundant, and highly adaptable solution for both new vehicles and retrofitting existing fleets.
General Advantages of Steer-by-Wire
Steer-by-wire offers numerous benefits that make a decisive difference in both conventional and autonomous vehicles:
✔ Higher precision: Steering commands are transmitted in real time, with zero play
✔ Weight savings: No mechanical linkages, fewer components
✔ Lower maintenance: No wear parts such as tie rods or hydraulic systems
✔ Space-saving design: Frees up room for innovative interior layouts
✔ Enhanced safety: Redundant systems prevent failures and react faster, with greater accuracy
