Protected emergency vehicles save lives. The driver's cabin forms a hermetically sealed protective space. To maintain its protective properties, openings for steering rods must be avoided at all costs.
The Steer-by-Wire steering system from ME MOBIL ELEKTRONIK with electronic setpoint generator eliminates the direct mechanical coupling to the axle.
Realistic steering feel and precise control
Despite the mechanical decoupling, the steering feel remains realistic:
- The electronic steering wheel simulates steering forces and has a return to the straight-ahead position.
- The proportional or servo-hydraulic control of the steering axles offers sensitive and precise steering even on heavy terrain off-road.
Another requirement for protection vehicles is maximum maneuverability, which enables a quick retreat or driving through rough terrain in case of danger.
The combination of the fully redundant Steer-by-Wire solution for the main steering and an EHLA® solution for the rear axle is the ideal solution here, optimally combining safety and maneuverability.
