Bosch is working on automotive electrification technology

According to the latest news from the Bosch Group, Bosch is also increasing its investment in pure electric vehicle powertrain technology, following the successful launch of parallel-type strong hybrid technology.

In 2009, Bosch established the hybrid and electric drive business unit. Bosch believes that the use of electric vehicles can improve the air quality in cities. If car-powered electricity comes from renewable energy sources, electric vehicles can play a large role in reducing carbon dioxide emissions. The strong hybrid versions of the Porsche Cayenne S and Volkswagen Touareg, which will be available this year, are the first cars to use the Bosch innovative parallel hybrid technology. In addition, PSA Peugeot Citroën and Bosch also formed an engineering team to develop diesel hybrid vehicles equipped with electric four-wheel drive, which is expected to be produced in volume in 2011. Bosch developed and produced power electronic controllers and motors for these models.

Bosch invests nearly 400 million euros each year in R&D of powertrain electrification. It is reported that Bosch has established a complete product line for powertrain systems for hybrid and electric vehicles, including core components that control the flow of energy in hybrid and electric vehicles such as power electronic controllers and high-power high-torque motors. Ready for mass production of power electronic controllers and motors. Bosch's product line also includes a variety of chargers, plug-in hybrid vehicles and electric vehicles can be charged on the external power supply through the charger.

The use of hybrid and electric driven powertrain systems affects many other automotive components and systems. Bosch is also working on research in these areas, including efficient auxiliary components such as electronic power steering, as well as braking and ESP systems tailored for hybrid and electric vehicles that can coordinate traditional mechanical braking and power generation. The brake effect of the machine. In addition, Bosch's technology is also included in electric vehicles' efficient thermal management systems for heating and cooling systems, as well as navigation systems that calculate the best route based on fuel efficiency.
