In brief
The additional electrical moment allows for auxiliary steering functions.
Useful to know
Bosch's Servotwin combines a hydraulic steering mechanism with electronically controlled electric assistance for heavy-duty trucks. The combination allows for additional functions to support steering. [1]
This is not the same as a fully electric steering without a hydraulic part. When comparing systems, separate the source of the basic help from the way the electronics add adjustments. The common presence of a lane keeping assistant does not prove the same mechanical architecture. The exact version and in-car integration determine which features are actually available to the driver.
