At JTEKT Europe, we are reinforcing our diversification strategy through a technical partnership with CKP Engineering, leading to the development of the Security Driving System (SDS) — an innovative fail-safe steering solution designed to improve safety, reliability and driving continuity in demanding mobility environments.

What is the SDS?

The Security Driving System is a mechanical fail-safe sub-system integrated into the vehicle’s steering architecture.

It is designed to :

• maintain continuous steering capability in the event of an incident,

• reinforce driver safety in high-performance and leisure applications,

• ensure a consistent and predictable driving feel, in line with JTEKT’s steering expertise,

• provide a robust and reliable solution for mobility, motorsport and defence applications.

A partnership built on complementary expertise

The SDS is the result of a close collaboration between :

• JTEKT Europe, bringing its leadership in steering systems, industrial excellence and high safety standards,

• CKP Engineering, a French engineering SME recognised for its innovative product development in mobility, defence and competition.

Together, we combine JTEKT’s industrial capabilities with CKP’s agile engineering know-how to deliver a solution that strengthens steering safety while enhancing performance and driving precision.
