Russian translation:электроусилитель рулевого привода
Explanation:
Even though approximately one half of all EPS in the world are, in fact, hydrolic EPS, I would recommend using the suggested translation for the simple reason that 80 per cent of powered steering systems in Russia are pure hydrolic, with no electrical motor involved. Exceptions to this rule are huge trucks used in open mining, and the latest MAZ and KAMAZ trucks. Thus instead of being a fuzzy match, this is a perfect match.
Also, Pana:
"rack-drive" is traditionally translated into Russian as "привод через рейку" vs. "реечный привод". A little weird, since both versions are acceptable in every text BUT an automotive one. Naturally, this preference has its deep roots in the phrase "rack-n-pinion" as "шестерня-рейка", a long-awaited improvement in Russian cars which was only achieved not so long ago. Amazingly, both versions are equally acceptable for "pinion-drive": "привод с через шестерню" and "шестеренный привод".

Explanation:
Dear Pana:
Please look to teh following excerpt from Ford company text:
=====
Electrically Powered Steering

What it is: Electrically powered steering uses an electric motor to drive either the power steering hydraulic pump or the steering linkage directly. The power steering function is therefore independent of engine speed, resulting in significant energy savings.

How it works: Conventional power steering systems use an engine accessory belt to drive the pump, providing pressurized fluid that operates a piston in the power steering gear or actuator to assist the driver.

Electro-hydraulic steering, one electrically powered steering concept, uses a high-efficiency pump driven by an electric motor. Pump speed is regulated by an electronic controller that varies pump pressure and flow, providing steering efforts tailored for different driving situations (see VAPS). The pump can be run at low speed or shut off to provide energy savings during straight-ahead driving, which is most of the time in most world markets.

Direct electric steering uses an electric motor attached to the steering rack via a gear mechanism with no pump or fluid. A variety of motor types and gear drives is possible. A microprocessor controls steering dynamics and driver effort. Inputs include vehicle speed and steering, wheel torque, angular position and turning rate. The motor is shut off to provide energy savings during straight-ahead driving.

Customer benefit: Energy savings/improved fuel economy and potentially better steering feel with reduced system complexity and improved system reliability
=====

Well, thus we arrive at the CORRECT answer:
рулевое управление с электрическим или электрогидравлическим приводом.

elektrousilitel’ rulya


Explanation:
электроусилитель руля

This is a very clear and straightforward option, which is a direct analogy with the system, commonly known as “gidrousilitel’ rulya”(=Eng. "hydropowered steering"). Based on my search results (see below), “elektrousilitel’ rulya” is the Russian term for "electrically powered steering". This term is widely used by many Russian automakers, including Lada (Togliatti), where this system is being tested at the moment.

... концерн Энергия совместно с Волжским автомобильным заводом разработал электроусилитель руля опытные образцы которого уже проходят испытания на вазе
