This allows you to control the direction of the vehicle. Additionally, steering columns are designed to absorb energy in the event of a frontal impact, preventing injury to the driver.
There are mainly three types:
- Mechanical, which have no assistance. These are the most common in older vehicles.
- Hydraulic, which use hydraulic assistance to make turning the steering wheel easier.
- Electric, abbreviated as EPS, which is the most modern type and uses an electric motor for assistance, offering greater efficiency and lower maintenance requirements.
