 Torrance,
Calif. 06/23/2006 -- American Honda announced today that
Honda R&D Japan has developed the world's first Electric Power
Steering (EPS) system for All Terrain Vehicles (ATVs). This newly
developed system monitors steering torque and vehicle speed to
adjust the levels of steering assist and feel. When stopped or
at low speeds, it requires light steering effort, and as speeds
increase, the amount of assist is adjusted to provide the appropriate
level of feedback. An ATV with this Honda exclusive technology
is easier to maneuver through rough terrain, rocks, washes, and
ruts while at the same time, reducing rider fatigue. Honda's first
application of EPS on a production ATV is anticipated in the U.S.
in the near future.
