Abstract: A method is for reducing an energy demand and/or energy consumption by a vehicle, in particular a motor vehicle. The vehicle includes a steering system having at least two wheel steering angle actuators for changing a respective wheel steering angle of a vehicle wheel on an individual wheel basis, and a vehicle sensor system for driving situation recognition. In at least one operating state, in which a predefined driving situation is identified using the vehicle sensor system, a power consumption by at least one wheel steering angle actuator is reduced in order to reduce the energy demand and/or energy consumption, in particular such that the power consumption by the at least one wheel steering angle actuator is below a power consumption by the at least one wheel steering angle actuator planned for in the identified predefined driving situation.
