Abstract
A steering system for a vehicle, having a steering wheel, a steering gear and a steering module, disposed between them, for superimposed steering engagement by a controlled electric motor. The electric motor has an input shaft connected to the steering wheel and an output shaft connected to the steering gear. For the sake of structurally simplifying the steering module, the electric motor is in direct engagement, in line with a clutch that can be engaged and disengaged, with the input shaft via a first gear, and the electric motor is in direct engagement with the output shaft via a second gear.
