“The future of mobility in India will be clean, efficient, safe and connected. Bosch has been providing technological solutions for 98 years in India and continues to be a leading provider of mobility services. With the transition to BS VI, we have been at the forefront in partnering with our customers in delivering cutting edge solutions to meet the mandate.” said Mr. Soumitra Bhattacharya, Managing Director, Bosch Limited & President, Bosch Group in India. He further added, “We are actively participating in shaping the future of mobility in India through our technology agnostic approach. “With a customer focused approach, we actively support the Government’s initiatives towards the auto sector with an India first objective.”
Products and Solutions for Indian market
Bosch’s vision for the future of mobility is to focus on areas such as clean, efficient, safe, automated, and connected. This is tied to three technological developments: automation, electrification, and connectivity.
Electromobility: Bosch accelerates development of EVs with customized solutions
Electrified and Powertrain Solutions
Bosch’s electric powertrain system is engineered for efficiency, economy, and dynamics. Aligned with Bosch’s goal of achieving carbon neutrality, these optimized powertrain systems are key to solving challenges in energy usage and climate change.
Integrated System for light electric vehicles
Bosch has devised an integrated system for Light electric vehicles with performance classes ranging from 1 to 20 KW, to have an all-in-one solution that enables a safe and dynamic ride experience. The motor, control unit, battery, and innovative connectivity functions synergize perfectly to ensure well-balanced vehicle performance and long range.
Electronic Engine Management Systems (Two-wheeler electrification)
Bosch offers a comprehensive range of engine management systems’ technologies specifically designed for two-wheelers. These include innovation in components for fuel injection and supply, air management, ignition and exhaust-gas treatment, and engine control units. Apart from being BS VI compliant, the Electronic engine control with sophisticated sensors provides significant benefits over the conventional carburetor systems, making it fuel efficient and reducing up to 16 per cent of CO2 emissions.
Electronic battery sensor
The Electronic Battery Sensor (EBS) provides information on the status of 12-V lead-acid batteries used in the electric vehicles, while keeping the battery aging effects at bay. By providing this relevant information, the EBS allows for the implementation of an optimized electrical-power management (EEM) system in the vehicle and supports fuel- and CO2 saving technologies.
Hybridization solutions with 48V systems
The 48V hybrid system facilitates continued powertrain electrification for small passenger cars with complete charging through recuperation. The system helps functions like advanced start-stop, regenerative braking and coasting while improves efficiency and driving experience
Connected and Services
Bosch combines its IT competence with extensive automotive know-how, to be the most reliable partner to set up end to end connectivity solution across segments.
As a leading player in the mobility sector, the company ensures it’s connected and services solutions are personalized, comfortable, convenient, safe, and secure. With an in-depth understanding of vehicle data, long-term experience with mobility services and with connectivity solutions with the ecosystem, Bosch creates a new range of services, driving efficiency and reducing stress while offering scalability for future possibilities. The multilevel security solutions provide maximum data protection and data security.
These solutions include 3D display, Driver and Passenger Monitoring (AI), Battery in the Cloud, Convenience Charging and Perfectly Keyless solutions enhanced with advanced security.
Another noticeable solution from Bosch is the eCall, an emergency call system for cars, which enables a faster emergency response in case of accidents and other emergencies. Bosch already delivers this service to Daimler in more than 50 countries and in 18 languages, and is now expanding its services to the rest of the world.
Safety and Automated Solutions
Driver assistance systems are the starting point for safety in mobility. Bosch’s precision systems greatly increase safety and assist a driver throughout the journey.
Advanced Driver Assistance Systems (ADAS)
Bosch’s driver assistance systems are enabled by data fusion and smartphone integration which makes it possible for all OEM’s to support the driver in complex and critical traffic situations. Features such as Electronic Stability Program (ESP), predictive emergency braking, adaptive cruise control, forward collision warning, traffic jam assist guarantee enhanced driving safety and comfort.
Connected mobility: Value proposition, market differentiation and safety features at competitive prices
With the economy gearing up for implementation of BS VI norms by April 2020, Bosch draws up on its automotive lineage to manufacture end to end solutions. The use of re-engineered parts such as the Lean Electronic Fuel Injection System (LEFIS) for three-wheel vehicles by Bosch will effectively address BS VI norms and reduce the industry’s carbon footprint over time. On par with the rising demand for connected vehicles, Bosch is constantly attempting to develop technologies and solutions for emission, stress and accident-free mobility.
