June 9, the 60th International Motor Bosch media exchange test track in its Burke Si Beige held. At the meeting, Chairman of the Bosch Group automotive technology business, Dr. BerndBohr to the field from 35 countries of 330 reporters, said: Bosch automotive technology business, sales exceeded 30 billion euros this year for the first time, to achieve about 10% growth; number of employees will be The current 16.7 million to 17.7 million, an increase mainly in the Asia Pacific region; 2011 Bosch automotive technology R & D investment will reach € 3.2 billion; core business, Bosch has invested heavily in a variety of areas, including not only mid-term and future automotive solutions, but also continuous improvement of existing technology.

    ABS to further reduce prices

    At the meeting, the official said Bosch, will reduce the cost of existing systems, especially the ABS prices, and in India and Brazil plant, realize local production; will also further promote the process of ESP as standard cars. The implementation of this strategy is the background: the United Nations in May this year began implementing the "Road Safety Action for the Decade" to 2020 significantly reduced the number of traffic casualties, save 5 million lives, action programs, including, motorcycle riders must wear helmet, open up a separate sidewalk, cars equipped with ESP and ABS.

    In reducing the cost of existing systems while, Bosch said the research department is also developing radar and Screen-based features such as predictive emergency braking system, side view assist system, lane departure warning systems and night vision systems, which Many features have appeared in volume production models. Bosch predicts that by 2015, Europe will have 15% of new cars equipped with emergency braking systems and predictive adaptive cruise control system.

    30% reduction in fuel consumption

    In reducing fuel consumption, the Bosch equally ambitious. Last year, in response to climate change, the EU's stringent emissions targets: by 2020 the average new car emissions of carbon dioxide per kilometer to less than 95 grams, on the basis of 2009 by 35% by 2025 will have to reduce per km 70 grams. The conference, Bosch experts believe that this provision be called harsh, but for internal combustion engine vehicle is still on the feasibility, internal combustion engine further tap the potential, "Bosch for the automotive industry to achieve this goal to provide gasoline and diesel technology. "

    How? Bosch R & D direction focused on two aspects: First, small engine emissions by reducing the number of cylinders to reduce friction and wear and tear, and reduce the required spool quality, reduce the engine's heat loss; On this basis, through the turbo compression technology, increasing the feed rate, combustion is more full. Dr. Bohr said Bosch new turbo system will be the end of production, 2015, will produce 100 million units. Second, by the end of 2200 Pakistan to achieve mass production of diesel common rail injection system, and started R & D 2500 bar common rail system research; In addition, Bosch engineers are working to develop a system to reduce nitrogen oxide emissions, the system can be reduced by at least 5 % of fuel consumption.

    Concentrate on the development of electric vehicles

    However, both diesel and petrol vehicles to improve efficiency, BerndBohr Dr. believes that the future of electric cars is still the world, but need at least ten years away from a lot of popularity because of the high battery cost and limited mileage. Bosch's "electrical plan," and General Motors, Mercedes-Benz, BMW, Ford and other similar: in the development of electric vehicles at the same time working to promote the production of hybrid vehicles.

    In fact, Bosch electric vehicle research and development for some time, invested heavily, and the accumulation of strength, its products include power electronic controllers, semiconductors, and the original motor. BerndBohr said Dr. Bosch and Samsung joint venture SBLiMotive was to end production of lithium-ion batteries, "2013, Bosch 12 vehicle manufacturers for nearly 20 mass production electric vehicle project." In addition, Bosch also plans to set up a joint venture with Daimler, the European R & D and manufacture of electric motor vehicles.
