T&S led the electronic development of an electrohydraulic power steering for heavy trucks under ASPICE L2 and ISO 26262 ASIL-B, via teams in France, Germany and Egypt.
A leading European commercial vehicle manufacturer partnered with T&S to support the electronic development of an electrohydraulic power-steering system for heavy trucks. The program combined system engineering, software development, validation and quality assurance in a demanding automotive environment governed by ASPICE (level 2) and ISO 26262, requiring a scalable delivery organisation coordinating multiple engineering disciplines across several international locations while maintaining strong quality and safety standards.
The client needed to develop a steering system operating under ASIL-B functional-safety constraints while managing more than 1,500 technical requirements, with rigorous traceability between specifications, implementation, testing and validation. The electronic architecture involved multiple low-level components - communication protocols, bootloader integration and hardware-related functions - meeting strict automotive reliability requirements, with distributed teams across several countries over an 18-month project.
T&S delivered an end-to-end engineering approach across the full electronic development lifecycle - system engineering, low-level software development, validation, project coordination and quality assurance - mobilising delivery centres in Strasbourg (software, safety, project leadership), Cairo (qualification and unit testing) and Stuttgart (AUTOSAR expertise). The teams developed low-level electronic and software components including PMSM motor-control improvement and integration, CAN and SPI communication integration, Vector bootloader implementation and hardware driver development for safety-related functions, and established bidirectional traceability between requirements, development and validation. Throughout, T&S performed unit, integration and requirements-based testing to secure production readiness and industrial qualification.
The project demonstrates T&S's capability to manage complex automotive electronic development through coordinated international delivery, combining system engineering, embedded software and functional-safety expertise to deliver production-ready, ASIL-B-compliant steering systems.
