WELCOME

I am very pleased and honored to invite you to the annual Next Generation Steering Systems Summit USA 2023. This is the second occurrence in the venerable Automotive Hall of Fame in Dearborn and the very first one being hosted by Bendix Commercial Vehicle Systems.

The 2022 summit, which brought together a wide range of automotive industry experts from multiple disciplines and with different backgrounds, has demonstrated in a striking way the power of real human interaction instead of mere virtual collaboration. I am really looking forward to meet all the familiar faces and many new participants in person next April in Michigan.
