Press release

Higher efficiency for diesel engines in commercial vehicles Bosch common-rail systems reduce operating cost, consumption, and emissions

CRSN3 and CRSN4 deliver 2500-bar injection pressure; series

production to begin in 2012

Focus on future emission standards such as Euro VI and US 10

High specific power and low consumption

Rising fuel prices and increasingly strict emission standards worldwide

mean that commercial vehicles will need economical and environmentally

friendly diesel engines. Bosch common-rail systems reduce fuel

consumption and CO2 emissions, thus cutting operating costs. Reducing

consumption by just 1 percent in a heavy commercial vehicle that covers

200,000 kilometers per year, for example, means annual savings of some

800 euros. When combined with SCR catalytic converters, Bosch common-

rail systems also make it much easier to meet both current and future

emission standards, such as Euro VI, US10, JPNLT, and even Tier 4 Final.

They are also the basis for quiet diesel engines that have high specific

power at the low engine speeds that are typical for commercial vehicles.

Each Bosch common-rail system consists of a high-pressure pump, a high-

pressure rail, one injector per cylinder, and an electronic control unit with

actuators and sensors. EDC electronic diesel control can both regulate the

entire injection process and control the boost pressure, exhaust-gas

recirculation, and exhaust-gas treatment systems.

CRSN3 and CRSN4 for medium and heavy commercial vehicles

For medium to heavy commercial vehicles, Bosch refined the CRSN3

common-rail system in conjunction with the CRIN3 solenoid-valve injector.

The CRSN3 is designed for on- and off-highway driving and diesel engines

with up to 16 cylinders. The common-rail system, which delivers 1800 bar

and has been in series production since 2005, is now being expanded, with

two new variants that can deliver higher system pressures. The first set of

PI7052

Page 2

variants consists of the CRSN3-20, to deliver 2000 bar for medium

commercial vehicles, and the CRSN3-22, to deliver 2200 bar for heavy

commercial vehicles. Despite the higher system pressures, the drive power

necessary for the high-pressure pump is the same or even lower than that

for the 1800-bar system. That means higher system efficiency. Customers

benefit from the high torque at low engine speeds and, simultaneously,

from the lower fuel consumption and thus reduced CO2 emissions. The

next stage of series production is planned for the CRSN3-25 in 2012. It will

deliver 2500 bar.

The CRSN4-21 system is designed for heavy commercial vehicles. Its

injector uses hydraulic pressure amplification to generate a maximum

injection pressure of 2100 bar. Since higher injection pressures mean even

lower consumption and thus reduced CO2 emissions, the CRIN4-25 injector

will be configured next for pressures of 2500 bar. Series production is

planned to start in early 2012. Because the injection process can be

configured flexibly, the system offers customers special liberties in

designing engines, meaning that they can meet emission standards such as

Euro VI or US 10 through low consumption, while still achieving the best

possible power output and keeping combustion noise low.

CRS2 series with solenoid valve for light utility vehicles

The CRS2 common-rail system series was also refined for light commercial

vehicles with diesel engines having up to six cylinders and three liters of

engine displacement. The CRS2-18, with an injection pressure of 1800 bar,

and the CRS 2-20, with an injection pressure of 2000 bar, build on the

CRS2-16, which has proved its worth many times over in passenger cars.

The powerful injectors of this series offer engine developers a high level of

freedom in designing injection procedures. Up to eight separate injections

are possible within a very short time during each combustion cycle.

Multiple injection lowers fuel consumption, CO2 emissions, powertrain

noise, and pollutant emissions. The system’s start-stop feature is yet

another customer benefit, particularly for light commercial vehicles in

urban delivery traffic.

Eco-friendly and economical Bosch CNG systems for commercial vehicles Dual-fuel operation with natural gas and diesel

Engine control units and injection valves for CNG drives

Up to 25 percent reduction in CO2 emissions

Low operating costs and low emissions

Gasoline and diesel engines that can also be powered by natural gas are

becoming increasingly important in the commercial-vehicle market. CNG

(compressed natural gas) is particularly eco-friendly: compared with

conventional diesel engines, CNG engines emit up to 25 percent less CO2.

With its systems and components for CNG drives, Bosch is adding

additional clean and resource-conserving products to its portfolio for

commercial vehicles. CNG is also more cost-effective than conventional

fuels, and CNG drives thus offer commercial-vehicle operators the benefit

of lower operating costs.

CNG systems for medium and heavy commercial vehicles

Engines that are powered exclusively by natural gas – known as

monovalent or mono-fuel drives – are used today primarily for urban traffic,

in vehicles such as public buses and garbage collection trucks. In such

vehicles, CNG is injected into the combustion chamber of a converted

diesel engine at a pressure of some 6 bar. The engine is additionally

equipped with spark plugs and ignition coils to ignite the mixture of air and

natural gas. Monovalent engines are advanced enough today to comply

with Euro IV emissions limits.

Dual-fuel, or bivalent, drives are also designed for medium and heavy

commercial vehicles. Such drives allow up to 97 percent of the diesel fuel

to be replaced by natural gas. In the dual-fuel method, diesel pilot injection

ignites the CNG, making externally-supplied ignition unnecessary. Such

dual-fuel engines offer greater independence in areas where the CNG

infrastructure is incomplete, since they are fully able to run on diesel alone.

PI7054

Page 2

The tried-and-true, extremely compact Bosch NGI2 natural-gas injector can

be used in both mono-fuel and dual-fuel systems. The same applies to the

EGC4 und EGC10 control units, which control both conventional engine

functions and the CNG injection valves, pressure regulation module, and

tank shutoff valves and also monitor high- and low-pressure sensors. In

dual-fuel operation, a communication interface connects the CNG control

unit with a separate control unit that is used for conventional diesel

injection.

CNG systems for light commercial vehicles

Bivalent systems are used in light commercial vehicles as well, where they

run on a combination of natural gas and gasoline. The systems are based

on modified gasoline engines. For the light-commercial-vehicle market,

Bosch also offers the NGI2 natural-gas injector, which has been used

successfully for years in passenger cars, and the NG Motronic bi-fuel

engine control unit, which is based on the Motronic for gasoline injection.

The NG Motronic makes it possible to switch between natural gas and

gasoline even while vehicles are driving, without any interruption in torque.

The use of a single control unit for gasoline injection and natural-gas

injection cuts cost and makes integration into light commercial vehicles

less complex.

Eco-friendly and resource-conserving Bosch hybrid systems for commercial vehicles

Parallel full-hybrid technology lowers fuel consumption

Up to 28 percent reduction in CO2 emissions for city driving

SB LiMotive lithium-ion technology for traction batteries

Following the successful launch of parallel full-hybrid technology for

passenger cars, the supplier Bosch is expanding its portfolio to equip light

and medium commercial vehicles with hybrid drives. Today, Bosch

solutions cover the entire electric drivetrain for light and medium

commercial vehicles – from traction batteries, which are developed by the

joint venture SB Limotive based on lithium-ion battery technology, to

power electronics and electric motors.

Electric motors with up to 54 kilowatts of power

Bosch already supplies a wide range of electric motors that offer up to

54 kilowatts of power and 540 Newton-meters of torque, making them well

suited to light and medium commercial vehicles. Bosch power electronics,

which has the job of controlling energy flows in hybrids, is designed for up

to 400 volts. Bosch engineering focuses on what is known as parallel full

hybrids. The first passenger cars to have Bosch parallel full-hybrid systems

were the hybrid models of the Volkswagen Touareg and the Porsche

Cayenne, launched in mid-2010. The systems are scalable and, because

they have modular components, can be integrated as needed into existing

commercial-vehicle structures. They can also be combined with different

transmission types for various target markets. SB LiMotive, a joint venture

between Bosch and Samsung SDI, is currently developing the traction

batteries that are part of hybrid-vehicle systems. SB Limotive plans to

begin large-scale series production for lithium-ion battery cells in 2011.

Lower fuel consumption and reduced operating costs

Hybrid technology is ideal for frequent stop-and-go driving in conurbations,

such as the driving done by delivery vehicles in urban traffic. Frequent

PI7055

Page 2

braking allows energy to be recovered, and the electric drive assists the

internal combustion engine when driving begins, thus reducing fuel

consumption and noise emissions. Moreover, full-hybrid vehicles can drive

short distances using just electricity, thus generating no emissions.

Assuming they follow the New European Driving Cycle, diesel hybrid

commercial vehicles can reduce CO2 emissions by 20 percent compared

with pure diesel drives. And a diesel hybrid drive in light commercial

vehicles that have up to 3.5 tons of gross vehicle weight can cut CO2

emissions by up to 28 percent in city traffic with a high percentage of stop-

and-go driving. Apart from the reduced operating costs as a result of

reductions in both fuel consumption and brake wear, there is the added

advantage for fleet operators that their vehicles are prepared for future

emission guidelines: Moreover, delivery vehicles equipped with hybrid

drives can enter low-emission zones in city centers even if driving bans are

in place.

Business unit for hybrid and electric-vehicle technology grows

Each year, Bosch invests some 400 million euros in engineering electric

drives. In 2004, what was then known as the “hybrid technology project

unit” began its operation with roughly 100 associates. Today, some 800

Bosch associates worldwide develop technology for hybrid and electric

vehicles. In addition, there are the roughly 650 associates at the SB

LiMotive joint venture, who are improving lithium-ion battery technology

for use in vehicles.

Reducing emissions efficiently Bosch improves exhaust-gas treatment systems for commercial vehicles

Denoxtronic 2.2 cuts nitrogen-oxide emissions by up to 95 percent

Maintenance-free Departronic 2 helps regenerate particulate filters

Both available for 12- or 24-volt vehicle electrical systems

Bosch exhaust-gas treatment systems mean low emissions and higher

efficiency for commercial vehicles – now and in the future. Denoxtronic,

now improved and in its third generation, plays a major role in lowering

nitrogen-oxide emissions and fuel consumption. Departronic, whose

second and latest generation is maintenance-free, controls particulate-filter

regeneration.

Denoxtronic: robust and versatile

Since emissions legislation was first introduced for commercial vehicles, nitrogen-oxide emissions have been reduced by 86 percent. The

Denoxtronic 2.2 metering system developed by Bosch works together with

an SCR (selective catalytic reduction) catalytic converter to lower nitrogen-

oxide emissions by up to 95 percent. Using data from the engine

electronics, such as the readings for engine speed and operating

temperature, the Denoxtronic metering module injects just the right

amount of AdBlue, a urea-water solution, into the exhaust gas flow. This

gives rise to ammonia, which reacts with the nitrogen oxides in the SCR

catalytic converter to produce non-toxic nitrogen and water. When SCR

exhaust-gas treatment is used, CO2 emissions and fuel consumption can be

lowered by roughly 3 percent. This cuts operating costs, and is one reason

for the continuing rise in popularity of SCR exhaust-gas treatment for

commercial vehicles, especially with emissions standards becoming stricter

worldwide in the future. Continuous improvements have been made to

Denoxtronic since the first generation went into series production in 2004.

The second Denoxtronic generation, launched in 2006, injects such finely

atomized AdBlue into the exhaust upstream of the SCR catalytic converter

PI7053

Page 2 of 3

that there is no need for to use compressed air for metering. The current,

third generation is available for both 12- and 24-volt vehicle electrical

systems. Where the delivery module used to be warmed by electric

heaters, the third generation of Denoxtronic offers an alternative: the

module can be attached to the engine cooling circuit to utilize the heat it

gives off. The robust system has a long service life and, thanks to its

modular construction, can be integrated flexibly and easily into many

different vehicle models. The electronic control system for Denoxtronic can

be integrated either into the engine control unit or into a separate

metering control unit, depending on which option customers prefer.

Departronic for particulate-filter regeneration

Bosch Departronic has been in the market since 2006. This diesel-metering

system regenerates particulate filters in medium and heavy commercial

vehicles. It injects a precisely metered quantity of diesel into the exhaust

flow, upstream of the oxidation catalyst. As this fuel burns, exhaust

temperatures rise to roughly 600 degrees Celsius. This temperature

increase causes the soot collected in the particulate filter to burn off.

Compared with post-injection in the engine itself, Departronic is more

economical: since the engine oil does not become diluted, it does not need

to be changed nearly as often. The second Departronic generation has

been improved in a variety of ways. It, too, can now be used with either a

12- or a 24-volt electrical system. Because Departronic can now handle a

fuel supply pressure of 8 bar, diesel can be pumped into the system from

the low-pressure circuit of the diesel injection system. Manufacturers of

commercial vehicles can save money because an additional fuel pump is

unnecessary. Departronic is self-cleaning and thus requires no

maintenance. Its components are designed to withstand the harsh

conditions to be found in commercial vehicles. The entire system has also

been made lighter and more compact than the previous generation.

Departronic will help commercial-vehicle manufacturers meet the

emissions targets in the standards EPA 2007 and 2010, interim and final

Tier 4, and Euro 6.

For commercial vehicles and off-highway machinery Bosch energy-efficient generators reduce operating costs Now offering high performance in 14-volt electrical systems

High efficiency: up to 77 percent

Especially compact design

Tailored to the U.S. market and off-highway applications

Higher energy efficiency, reduced CO2 emissions, and lower operating

costs – those are important engineering goals for manufacturers of

commercial vehicles and off-highway machinery. Bosch supports the

achievement of these goals with its new HD10LP generator series, the first

to offer 240 amperes of current at 14 volts. Fourteen-volt electrical

systems are typical for on-highway trucks and buses on the American

markets and for off-highway vehicles in Europe.

New technology for new classes of performance

Only by finding technologically sophisticated solutions were Bosch

engineers able to combine high electrical performance with compact size.

Using an insulating powder coating instead of the usual paper insulation,

and using special Bosch winding techniques, they increased the stator’s

copper fill factor to more than 50 percent. By improving cooling at the

same time, they made high output possible even at high ambient

temperatures.

All together, Bosch's work on the HD10LP generator family has increased

efficiency to up to 77 percent and lowered installation volume by

30 percent compared with competitor products. The generator’s service

life has doubled from 7,000 to 14,000 hours. For manufacturers and

operators, those improvements pay off in the form of lower costs. The

Compact and efficient New Bosch HX87-M starter for commercial vehicles

Compact starter for 3- to 7.5-liter diesel engines

Collaboration between German and Chinese engineers

Production to start in early 2011

Bosch is adding a new truck starter to its portfolio. The HX87-M model will

first be available for 24 volts. Its range of options make it flexibly

expandable, meaning that it can be adapted easily and quickly to the needs

of specific customers. With up to 4.5 kilowatts of power, the HX87-M is

designed for diesel engines that have displacements of between 3 and

7.5 liters and is thus compatible with one-third of all engines produced for

commercial vehicles worldwide. The starter's service life is

800,000 kilometers. It has a mass of 7.5 kilograms and is 23.8 centimeters

long, making it compact enough for all typical fields of application. Like all

other 24-volt starters, the HX87-M is electrically excited. Engineers at

Bosch in Germany and China worked together to develop the HX87-M.

Series production is planned to start in China in early 2011, but the new

starter will also be available in India, Russia, Europe, and elsewhere.

The starter has a wide variety of design options, making it flexible. An

additional seal to protect the starter in its resting position, a scraper ring

on the pinion, and a sealed needle bearing can be used to better keep out

dust. O-rings, microencapsulated screws, special rubber seals in the relay,

and high-pressure protective caps can prevent water from entering. Thus

the starter is also ideally suited to off-road vehicles.

The new HX87-M is an addition to the two existing series HX(F)95 and

HEF109, which are designed for engine displacements of 13 liters and

24 liters respectively. For even larger vehicles and stationary engines,

Bosch offers parallel starting systems. When two or three HEP109 starters

are connected, they can safely start diesel engines that have up to 72 liters

Reducing operating costs and helping the environment Bosch start-stop systems for light commercial vehicles

Bosch start-stop technology for vans and commercial vehicles with

diesel engines having up to three liters of displacement

Up to 5 percent less fuel consumption in the New European Driving

Cycle

Economical solution for package and delivery services in particular

Start-stop technology is now seeing increased use in light commercial

vehicles. Bosch provides customized starters for a number of automakers

who offer fuel-saving technology either as an option or as standard in

specific packages. “For urban delivery services in particular, start-stop

systems help to lower fuel consumption and thus significantly reduce CO2

emissions,” says Dr. Ulrich Kirschner, president of the Bosch Starter

Motors and Generators division. Test drives at Bosch that followed the

New European Driving Cycle (NEDC) model showed possible reductions in

fuel consumption of up to 5 percent in general and up to a full 8 percent in

urban driving. In the NEDC, urban driving includes 12 stops of 15 seconds

each over a distance of seven kilometers. Kirschner is confident that “even

higher reductions are possible in urban delivery traffic.” That makes start-

stop technology, which has proved its value extensively in passenger cars,

an especially attractive solution to reduce operating costs significantly for

fleet operators.

The Bosch start-stop system is designed for vehicles with diesel engines of

up to three liters of displacement, and gasoline engines of up to four liters.

It automatically turns the engine off as soon as the vehicle comes to a stop

in a traffic jam, at a red light, or elsewhere. When traffic starts moving

again, the engine automatically turns back on. Automakers can easily

integrate the Bosch system into existing engine designs. Kirschner

forecasts that “Bosch will deliver more than 100,000 start-stop starters for

PI7057

Page 2

light commercial vehicles as early as 2012.” The starters feature a higher

specified number of starts and thus a much longer service life than their

conventional counterparts. Their efficient electric motor and quiet meshing

mechanics ensure that IC engines start reliably, quickly, and quietly. The

starters are compact despite their expanded range of functions. The starter

system also includes control software, a crankshaft sensor, and a battery

sensor. Bosch Efficiency Line generators are the perfect addition here.

Their high efficiency helps ensure that there is always sufficient energy

available for reliable start-stop operation.

Cost-optimizing solution for commercial vehicles New system for fuel-optimized driving Reduction of fuel consumption and emissions

Profiles of the route ahead are included in the driving strategy

Unnecessary gear changes can be avoided

Elementary and monetary advantages for vehicle fleets

The search is on in the world of commercial vehicles more than ever before

for new ways not only to reduce the strain placed on the environment but

to lower the costs in the operating budgets as well. Fuel optimization for

commercial vehicles – that’s the goal of a new type of assistance system

made by Bosch, whereby the focus is placed on optimized engine and

transmission control on the basis of expanded navigation data such as

slopes or the shape of curves. Cleverly devised algorithms ensure that fuel

consumption is reduced, which also serves to lower fuel costs and lessen

CO2 emissions.

Bosch Car Multimedia development engineers have now designed a

hardware that is also able to take into account manufacturer-specific

algorithms through the strict separation of operating and application

software. In addition, Bosch can create solutions with vehicle-specific

application software to reduce fuel consumption and emissions as well as

more advanced functions and systems. Thus, the system is a proactive

sensor that takes the route up ahead into account to optimize driving

strategy.

Creating the dynamic electronic horizon

The new system creates a three-dimensional picture of the surroundings on

the basis of a digital map that also contains information on slopes and

curves. In combination with an exact determination of the vehicle position

via GPS (Global Positioning System) satellite locating, a preview of the

vehicle surroundings is calculated that goes far beyond such near-field

PI7110

Page 2

sensor systems as radar or video sensors – the so-called electronic

horizon.

Calculating a strategy for environmentally-friendly driving

Based on the information won from the dynamic electronic horizon and the

data from engine control units, the application software simulates a

strategy for environmentally friendly driving. To do so, it calculates a

suitable speed and the most appropriate gears for the route up ahead. This

information is compared with the current parameters and transmitted to

the power transmission of the commercial vehicle, where the signals

received are implemented by the engine and transmission control so that

the vehicle can, for example, accelerate when most appropriate and avoid

unnecessary gear changes shortly before the crest of a hill is reached.

Fuel savings of up to five percent

Large-scale studies made by Bosch using realistic routes have revealed

amazing potential. According to this information – depending on the

topography of the routes traveled – using this system makes it possible to

save an average of three to five percent of the fuel normally required on

German autobahns and highways, which also significantly lowers the CO2

emissions. For a 40-tonner with a high annual mileage, this means that at

the currently high fuel prices even a reduction of only one percent

translates as a decrease of around EUR 800 a year in the overall operating

costs.

As a result of lower fuel consumption and reduced toxic emissions, the

Bosch development thus offers elementary advantages. It amortizes very

quickly for individual vehicles as well as for entire vehicle fleets and makes

an important contribution to saving resources. In addition, the hardware

platform and the system software provide the Bosch engineers with other

possible areas of application, e.g. in the field of hybrid, battery or heat

management.

Thanks to such intelligent systems designed to meet specific needs,

commercial vehicles will become even greener and more economical in the

future. In initial projects, Bosch has already begun to develop an integrated

system together with different manufacturers of trucks and other

commercial vehicles.

Battling microsleep Bosch driver drowsiness detection An efficient solution for passenger cars and light commercial vehicles

Fatigue is one of the main causes of serious accidents

Specific steering movements indicate tiredness

Cost-effective software solution for passenger cars and light

commercial vehicles

Fatigue and microsleep at the wheel are often the cause of serious

accidents. Bosch has now developed a feature to detect increasing driver

fatigue and advise drivers to take a break in time. Bosch driver drowsiness

detection can improve road safety for commercial vehicles in particular,

whose drivers are on the road for hours each day. The level of fatigue is

determined based on information from the steering-angle sensor or the

electric power steering. “The steering-angle sensor is already on board in

many commercial vehicles as part of ESP®,” says Dr. Werner Struth,

president of the Bosch Chassis Systems Control division. “The feature can

therefore be used cost-effectively and helps to further increase road

safety.” Bosch driver drowsiness detection is a software module. Its series

production will start before 2010 is over. The system can be used in

passenger cars and light commercial vehicles and also be integrated into

various control devices in vehicles.

The National Highway Traffic Safety Administration (NHTSA) in the United

States calculated in 2006 that fatigue at the wheel was a major factor in

20 percent of all accidents. According to the Federal Highway Research

Institute (BASt) in Germany, the figures are even higher for commercial

vehicles. A study by BASt showed that fatigue was the second most

frequent cause of serious truck accidents on German highways.

The need for sleep most often causes brief periods of inattentiveness that

result in specific steering patterns. The algorithm of the new driver

PI7060

Page 2

drowsiness detection analyzes the driver’s steering behavior to detect

something called “deadbands.” Deadbands are phases in which drivers

briefly stop steering, and then abruptly correct their behavior – often a sign

of fading concentration. The system combines the frequency of these

reactions with other information, such as vehicle speed, time of day, and

use of turn signals, to calculate the level of fatigue. If that level exceeds a

certain value, an icon such as a coffee cup flashes on the instrument panel

to warn drivers that they need a rest.

ESP 9LE efficient braking control system for light commercial vehicles Bosch’s highest-pressure system

New braking control system for braking pressures of up to 330 bar

Numerous additional ESP® functions can be added

First vehicles to feature the system in August 2010

The new Bosch ESP® 9LE for light commercial vehicles can control very

high braking pressures of up to 330 bar. That makes it especially suitable

for heavy vehicles that have large brake boosters – as most vans do. The

system supplements the existing ESP® 8T, which is designed for

commercial vehicles that have larger brake calipers. The first vehicles

featuring the new Bosch ESP® 9LE were launched in August 2010.

To provide control at braking pressures of up to 330 bar, the engineers

chose a new high-torque electric motor that drives two pump elements.

Valves that have high magnetic force ensure precise control even at high

pressures and give the system a long service life. Large accumulator

chambers ensure that the brakes are released more quickly – especially

when ABS braking occurs while the vehicle is moving from a surface with

one frictional coefficient to a surface with another, something specialists

refer to as “µ-jump braking.” That lets the wheels start turning again

sooner and makes the car more stable and easier to steer during full

braking.

Numerous additional features

The many additional ESP® features that Bosch provides for systems such as

the new ESP® 9LE generation make driving even safer and more

comfortable. Software add-ons, for example, improve ESP® control by

identifying different loads and detecting imminent rollovers in time.

A hydraulic brake assistant increases braking pressure if the driver brakes

quickly but not hard enough. Trailer sway mitigation counters the trailer if

it starts to rock. Finally, hill hold control helps drivers start on inclines.

PI7061

The numerous efficient features allow automakers to tailor the ESP®

systems to their individual models – one reason why almost all European

manufacturers rely on Bosch braking control systems today for their vans.

New platform for telematics control units: Mobile applications from Bosch Current applications in infotainment systems

From assistance and convenience functions right on up to telematics

services

Open software architecture on Linux-based applications

Systems allow regular updates and upgrades

As modern applications move from the world of consumer electronics into

automotive electronics, steadily increasing demands are made on their

architecture as well as on computer power and the safety of in-vehicle

communication technologies. With this information in mind, Bosch

engineers are developing a new platform for telematics control units of the

future. This concept is the basis for smoothing the way of many innovative,

mobile applications into the automobile and into commercial vehicles.

Such new applications also make it possible to access the internet in the

vehicle. The scope of these applications ranges from assistance to

convenience and safety functions right on up to fee-based telematics

services.

The development of mobile applications that affect our daily lives is

increasing with breathtaking speed, which is why telematics systems of the

past often became outdated very quickly. With its new telematics platform,

Bosch is now closing the gap between the long product lifecycles in the

automotive industry and the rapid evolution of mobile applications in

entertainment and information technology by making it possible to

regularly update and upgrade the systems as required.

The platform offers carmakers the option of developing new business

models by providing new functions or software updates, which can be

downloaded into the vehicle without requiring a visit to the repair shop or

car dealer. As a result, the in-vehicle application always remains right up to

date and keeps pace with the latest trends in the world of multimedia.

PI7112

Page 2

Bosch will use an open software architecture on its innovative telematics

platform, whereby the development engineers at Bosch Car Multimedia

have opted for Linux-based open-source software to facilitate and

accelerate the integration of innovative multimedia features in in-vehicle

infotainment solutions. The open-source model from Linux enables the

separate, distributed development of robust applications. In this context,

the re-use of software routines that have already been tried and tested

millions of times over guarantees the vehicle manufacturers and not least

the users as well, the use of reliable, error-free applications in high quality.

Bosch devotes special attention to protecting user privacy. Modern

encryption processes are used to protect all the data that can be

exchanged online between the vehicle and the service providers against

unauthorized access. In addition, only those software applications are

executed that have been legitimated by digital signatures and approved by

the vehicle manufacturer for use in a certain vehicle model.

Telematics systems can only be realized cost-efficiently in the future if they

are based on standardized platforms to reduce the time-to-market and the

manufacturing costs of the underlying basic technology as well as of

specific innovations. The wide diversity of mobile applications for this new

generation of networked infotainment systems ranges from convenience

functions to safety features and right on up to systems for the collection of

toll fees.

Infotainment for coaches Customized navigation from Bosch Recording system for city busses

Vehicle-specific attributes used in route calculation

Integration of modern multimedia devices thanks to easy plug and play

New seat modules for individual audio enjoyment

Recording and storing of images in city busses meet professional

requirements

The latest in infotainment for coaches and city busses plays an increasingly

important role for fleet operators and all the components for information

and entertainment are specially designed to meet the needs of the coach

and bus industry. That includes on-board monitors for the high-end version,

an individually designed Coach Navigation PX-V system, an innovative multi-

channel audio system as well as a special system designed to record and

store images in city busses.

Individual parameters provide for uncomplicated routes

The new Coach Navigation PX-V system for commercial vehicles from Bosch

has already gone into serial production. In selecting the route, the system

takes such factors as legal requirements and physical limitations into

consideration. The length, width and height of the vehicle concerned are

individually entered and stored in the system. Once the destination has

been entered, it is possible to have a specific route calculated. This

calculation compares the different attributes of the vehicle with the

information stored in the map, i.e. the height of underpasses or the width

of the road on winding routes. This makes it possible for the system to

take vehicle-specific criteria into account and recommend the best route.

Coaches, for example, are not directed through small villages with narrow

streets; any elaborate turning maneuvers in front of low bridges or

underpasses can thus be avoided.

PI7111

Page 2

In combination with the Professional Line 2, the Coach Navigation PX-V

system can also provide dynamic navigation: To this end, the latest traffic

conditions based on the information broadcast by radio stations on the

Traffic Message Channel (TMC) are evaluated automatically. This means

that the system is able to recognize traffic congestion on the route up

ahead and can – when it makes sense – provide a route that detours the

problem. The navigation disk also includes special POIs (points of

interest), e.g. filling stations, service centers and repair shops for

commercial vehicles along with information on tourist attractions, which

can be viewed and used as destination information as required.

New audio system for each seat

Bosch developed the multi-channel audio system (MAS) to make a wide

variety of different infotainment options available in coaches. The head unit

is equipped with an automatic level setting to play up to eight audio

sources at the same volume. In addition, the durable seat modules allow

the passengers to individually adjust the system to their own tastes. They

can choose which of the different multimedia options they prefer and the

headphones can also be adjusted to the ideal volume for each individual. If

only a few of the passengers would like to watch a movie and the others

would rather sleep, this is also something that the MAS system can easily

manage to make coach trips more comfortable and more entertaining for

the passengers than ever before.

Vehicle-specific recording system for city busses

Designed specifically for city busses, Bosch now also offers a new

recording system for vehicles that meets professional requirements. It is

able to show up to four images from the passenger area on the driver

monitor. The different image views can be saved on an integrated

automotive hard disk (80 GB) at the same time. Other storage options are

available for USB sticks or compact flash cards. The system is modular in

design and can be configured to satisfy specific customer needs. It is also

possible to take a live look into the vehicle from the central office via a

mobile IP network and to record image information on the network at the

same time.

Truck multimedia navigation from Bosch Radio, navigation and telephone with touch screen New radios for trucks and off-highway vehicles

Route guidance using SD card navigation for commercial vehicles

Vehicle-specific attributes used in route calculation

USB interface for audio playback from memory stick or iPod

Integrated Bluetooth hands-free operation and Bluetooth audio

Bosch will present a number of different system solutions and new

products for professional applications this year. This will include the

prototype of a Truck Multimedia Navigation system as well as a radio

specifically designed for use in trucks: it operates on 24 volts, the voltage

typically used in commercial vehicles.

Individual truck parameters allow for route calculation to avoid obstacles

The Truck Multimedia Navigation system bundles a wide range of audio,

navigation and communication functions in a single compact unit

conveniently integrated into the dashboard. In addition to AM/FM radio

reception, the audio system plays CDs and MP3 music files on the

integrated CD drive, the USB slot or the AUX connector. The navigation

system makes it possible to select a truck-specific route, which takes such

factors as legal requirements and physical limitations into account. Thanks

to a Bluetooth interface, this media center can also be used to make and

receive telephone calls without the driver ever having to take his hands off

the wheel.

Route guidance with the Truck Multimedia Navigation system offers the

unique opportunity of being able to enter the length, width, height, weight

and axle load for any particular vehicle into the system. Such data as load

weight or hazardous material types can also be altered quickly and easily at

any time – e.g. before loading or after off-loading the vehicle. Once the

vehicle data and the desired destination have been entered, the truck-

specific route is calculated. During route calculation, the different vehicle

PI7113

Page 2

attributes are compared with the digital map information stored on the SD

card, i.e. the height of underpasses, the width of winding routes or the

load-carrying capacity of bridges. This makes it possible to take vehicle-

specific criteria into consideration when recommending the corresponding

truck-specific routes. As a result, the commercial vehicles are not guided

through villages with very narrow streets; any elaborate turning maneuvers

in front of low bridges or underpasses can thus be avoided.

In addition, the truck-specific navigation SD cards also indicate special

destinations for commercial vehicles. These might include Ad-Blue filling

stations, service centers, truck stops and commercial vehicle garages; they

are shown on the screen and can be selected as specific destinations.

Individual Points of Interest (POIs) can also be uploaded to complement

the map material via the USB interface.

Touch screen combined with keys and encoders allow for parallel

operation

With its color screen, the Multimedia Truck Navigation system provides a

clear view of the road geometry and route guidance with automatic map

scaling. Its attractive, yet very functional front panel design frames the

5-inch (13 cm) color touch screen, which, in combination with the easy-to-

use keys and two encoders, allows for intuitive understanding: this

represents a uniquely simple operating concept.

Current station list and TMC reception

The system’s radio receiver equipped with the innovative ADR2 chip set

(Advanced Digital Receiver) from Bosch includes a digital twin tuner. The

first tuner provides for good reception properties while the second one

continually updates the station lists and receives the messages broadcast

by the radio stations on the Traffic Message Channel (TMC) for route

calculation in dynamic navigation. This makes it possible to pinpoint where

traffic congestion is and – when it makes sense – to detour traffic jams.

Convenient USB interface and Bluetooth function

The audio system is made to measure for the playback of different media.

Thanks to the USB slot, a memory stick or iPod can be connected just as

conveniently as a hard disk or an iPhone. The audio data are transmitted

digitally via USB to the Multimedia Truck system. In contrast to many other

systems, there is no special connection cable required for the iPod. The

large color touch screen makes it easy to search for radio stations or select

a song title from the sound files, providing an excellent overview of the

program and music selection options. The display can also be optionally

PI7113

Page 3

used for such other functions as a rear-view camera, which makes it much

easier to maneuver large vehicles in reverse.

When it comes to driving safety, the Bluetooth cell phone connection

makes using the telephone in the vehicle much safer. It can be conveniently

operated using the operating menu or the steering-wheel remote control.

Audio playback is also possible via the Bluetooth interface.

Truck and off-highway radios: Linking CE devices

Bosch will also present newly developed radios for commercial vehicles

made by MAN, Mercedes-Benz, Scania, DAF and other manufacturers as

well as aftermarket products for trucks and off-highway vehicles. These

radios, which have been specially designed for commercial vehicles, are

equipped to handle the daily wear and tear of long-distance driving and

also feature connectivity for modern consumer electronics devices. They

can, for example, be connected with existing networks in the cab to allow

the integration not only of diagnostic tools but the quick and easy

integration and control of such modern CE components as MP3 players,

USB memory sticks or a cell phone.

Connecting a cell phone makes it safer to use a telephone while driving.

The radio and cell phone connect as soon as the activated phone is in the

vehicle. As for audio playback, important functions can be operated

directly on the radio panel or from the steering wheel – a call can be

answered or ended, for example, at the touch of the corresponding button.

An optional hands-free microphone integrated into the radio ensures good

speech quality and the voices of the callers can be heard loud and clear

over the vehicle loudspeakers.

With these integrated, easy-to-operate multimedia systems, Bosch has

invested in innovative technologies and features that are unrivaled in the

commercial vehicle segment in terms of audio, communication and

navigation performance – and not to forget – easy operation, too. These

are high-performance solutions for trucks and off-highway vehicles that

meet the highest professional requirements.

Bosch Provides New Complete Range Featuring Aerotwin Windshield Wipers for Almost All Commercial Vehicles

Award-winning wiper blade also to be available for commercial vehicles

in the future

Long windshield wipers for commercial vehicles fastened securely

using two different adapter types

Uniform contact pressure ensures consistently good wiping

performance

At the beginning of 2010, the joint-free Aerotwin windshield wiper from

Bosch was tested by the ADAC (German Automobile Association) as part of

the association's extensive passenger car windshield wiper test. The

Aerotwin emerged as the top performer in all disciplines, rated “very good”

overall. To date, the Bosch Aerotwin premium wiper blade has only been

available for passenger cars. In the future, this award-winning windscreen

wiper will also be available for vans, heavy-duty trucks and buses. The new

Aerotwin range will be launched in 2011, and at that stage it will be suit-

able for almost all European commercial vehicles.

The Aerotwin will be available for hook wiper arms in 9x3, 9x4 and

12x4 mm configurations for commercial vehicles with wiper blades up to

700 mm in length. Another design is available for wiper blades that are

800 mm long; this design features an overlapping fastener that connects

the wiper arm to the blade. This feature ensures that even particularly long

wiper blades deliver a high level of synchronicity when in operation. In

addition, there will also be an Aerotwin with spray nozzles affixed to the

wiper blade.

The joint-free Aerotwin really stands out from the crowd, in particular by

virtue of the uniform contact pressure it exerts on the windscreen. Com-

bine this with an intricately designed wiper lip, and you have a wiper that

delivers consistently excellent results. In addition, the Aerotwin wipers for

Halogen, LED or Xenon Lights New Auxiliary Driving Lamp and Working Lights from Bosch to Suit Every Need and Use

Robust, all-round work lamp using proven halogen technology

Xenon work lamp with increased light output

Maintenance-free LED work lamp with low power consumption

New halogen auxiliary driving lamp for optimum road illumination

Bosch has upgraded its range of products with the addition of a new halo-

gen auxiliary driving lamp as well as new work lamps with flood and spot

beam, optionally equipped with a conventional halogen light, high-perform-

ance LEDs or Xenon light. With three different lamp technologies to choose

from, Bosch is able to offer a range of high-quality products in every price

bracket and performance class. All lamps are supplied with a complete

assembly set for retrofitting. The robust work lamps from Bosch are used

primarily in agriculture and forestry as well as in the construction industry.

They are also frequently used in vehicles owned by municipal bodies.

Halogen Work Lamps

The halogen work lamps are suitable for every area of application. De-

signed for protection class IP6K9K they have a stainless steel bracket and

are particularly robust and weather-resistant. The halogen work lamps are

available with a flood light beam for wide short-range illumination and with

a bundled spot light beam for long-range illumination.

LED Technology in Work Lamps for a Long Service Life

The new LED work lamps from Bosch are above all characterized by their

long service life, high vibration-resistance and low power consumption. The

flood light beam version is equipped with six high-performance LEDs that

illuminate a wide, short-range work area with a very even daylight effect.

The spot light beam version is designed for optimum illumination of more

distant work areas. This bundled light is generated by seven high-perform-

PI7152

Page 2

ance LEDs. The LED work lamps are maintenance-free and with no bulb re-

placement required, the higher purchase price soon pays for itself.

Xenon Work Lamps with 40 Percent More Light Output

The new Xenon working light “Pilot X 45W” is now available on the market.

Upgraded to 45 watts, the Pilot X 45W boasts around 40 percent more

light than its 35-watt predecessor. The Xenon working light is particularly

compact in terms of design and is characterized by daylight-effect light dis-

tribution over a wide area. With its robust housing and IPX4 protection

classification, the Pilot X 45W is extremely weatherproof.

Powerful Auxiliary Driving Lamp with an Attractive Design

A halogen auxiliary driving lamp is a further addition to the Bosch range. It

offers very wide, even light distribution, thereby ensuring optimum road

illumination. At the same time, the high-beam light with its robust plastic

housing and high-quality chrome ring makes for an impressive design. The

nine-inch auxiliary lamp is fitted mainly in heavy-duty trucks across most of

Europe. In Scandinavia, however, a seven-inch version of the powerful aux-

iliary lamp is a popular choice with passenger car drivers.

For Test Pressures up to 2200 Bar New Future-Proof Common-Rail Test Bench EPS 708 from Bosch Accessories Program for Bosch Diesel Test Benches Extended

New 2500 bar rail for EPS 708 and 815 test benches

Innovative shot-to-shot measuring technology for comprehensive

diagnostics

Special test set for Piezo common-rail injectors

New multi-clamping system for common-rail injectors

The injection pressures of modern common-rail Diesel engines have in-

creased continuously over the past few years. 2000 bar is the current stan-

dard, but this value is on the up. For this reason, the new Diesel test bench

EPS 708 from Bosch, designed specifically for common-rail injectors and

common-rail injection pumps, can handle tests with up to 2200 bar. More-

over, the test bench is well equipped for future developments in common-

rail Diesel technology as its newly developed rail is designed for pressures

of up to 2500 bar. The new rail can also be retrofitted to the tried-and-

tested, high-performance Diesel test bench EPS 815, thus increasing its

maximum test pressure. Bosch has also developed a new test set for Piezo

injectors as an additional means of testing common-rail components in the

workshop. Furthermore, Bosch has developed a world-first test procedure

for determining shot-to-shot deviation. This highly accurate test allows

workshops to diagnose specific faults on common-rail injectors. A new

multi-clamping system for common-rail Diesel injectors in cars and com-

mercial vehicles reduces setup times for Diesel tests.

Shorter setup times, greater safety and improved service

The new EPS 708 Diesel test bench enables workshops to test common-rail

injectors and common-rail injection pumps made by Bosch and other

manufacturers. Warranty evaluations are also possible for Bosch compo-

nents. The test bench features an integrated cooling system, which

PI7139

Page 2

significantly reduces the water consumption of the workshop. Conven-

tional water cooling is also available as an option. Injection quantities are

measured electronically, while the pressure feed for the pump and lubri-

cant supply is also regulated electronically. The working area of the test

bench is covered by a robust hood, providing protection from flying parts.

As a result, a coupling cover for the pump is no longer required. This re-

duces the setup time for pump assembly even further whilst simultane-

ously increasing operator safety. The test bench motor cuts out immedi-

ately if the hood is raised during operation. Service intervals - for example,

for test oil or filter replacement - are monitored and displayed electroni-

cally. Additionally, the self-diagnostic system of the test bench provides the

workshop mechanic with reliable information concerning unscheduled ser-

vicing requirements, such as an additional filter change. Hydraulic compo-

nents are protected from contamination by an integrated filter in the new

high-pressure rail. The rail is also equipped with an integrated cooling sys-

tem to maintain a low temperature during continuous testing.

Specific fault scenarios necessitate enhanced measuring procedure

Bosch is the first manufacturer in the world to introduce a retrofit package

for workshop Diesel testing to determine variations between individual in-

jections through shot-to-shot deviation measurement. Due to wear and

tear, Diesel fuel-injection systems may eventually fail to meet the strict

emission requirements of US legislation. In special cases, shot-to-shot

variation must be established to identify rare or unusual faults. In compari-

son to conventional measuring systems, this new procedure extends the

test scope to cover specific fault scenarios. The technique renders multiple

tests unnecessary and avoids repeated removal and installation of the ve-

hicle's injectors. The new measuring technology can be retrofitted to the

EPS 815 and EPS 708 Diesel test benches.

Comprehensive test possibilities for Piezo common-rail injectors

Around 25 percent of common-rail Diesel engines in passenger cars are

now fitted with Piezo injectors. For this reason, Bosch has released the CRI

Piezo test set for the EPS 815 and EPS 708 Diesel test benches. It enables

workshops to test Piezo injectors for passenger cars made by Bosch,

Denso and Siemens/Continental. Testing of Delphi injectors is currently in

development, though the required electronics are already integrated in the

new test set. The test set contains all necessary components for compre-

hensive and effective Piezo injector testing. In addition to leakage tests and

injection measurements for different engine operating states, the test set

can also be used monitor coupler filling and check the Piezo module for in-

sulation faults. The workshop can also perform warranty evaluations with

PI7139

Page 3

the new test kit. Regularly updated test values are available through a sub-

scription to the ”TestData“ CD. Test values for Diesel components of other

manufacturers are available from the data provider Refdat at

www.refdat.net.

New multi-clamping system for common-rail injectors

A new multi-clamping system for injectors reduces setup times and enables

flexible, precise working. Up to four common-rail injectors for commercial

vehicles or six solenoid or Piezo common-rail injectors for passenger cars

can be clamped to the Diesel test bench at the same time. The multi-

clamping system features a universal injection chamber for injectors from

Bosch and other manufacturers as well as fast-action clamping. Its innova-

tive design offers workshops many practical advantages, such as leak-free

assembly of commercial vehicle injectors and cushioning of the individual

injectors to protect the test pressure lines. The new common-rail clamping

system can be used on the Diesel test benches EPS 708 and EPS 815.

Hydraulic hybrid drive from Bosch Rexroth goes into series production HRB Hydrostatic Regenerative Braking system proves itself in actual use

Shortly before the official start of production in October 2010, vehicles in over ten cities in Europe and North America are on the job using the HRB Hydrostatic Regenerative System from Bosch Rexroth, mainly with municipal and private sanitation companies. The initial reports from operators are consistent: the hydraulic hybrid is absolutely up to the task under harsh conditions in daily operation. Expectations for the savings potential have been met.

Among the first round of customers is the regional Sanitation Department of the District of Kassel. Carsten Mielke, Head of Department for Transport, is convinced of the system’s benefits. “Our waste collection vehicles consume clearly less diesel fuel than vehicles without HRB. Over an entire route we are seeing savings of from 15 to 18 percent.” This is enough, according to Mielke, to justify the acquisition of additional vehicles with the hydraulic hybrid.

HRB makes an important contribution to environmental and climate protection

After thorough testing, the Sanitation Department of Kiel also decided to purchase vehicles equipped with HRB technology. “The City Council of the state capital Kiel has set environmental protection as a priority, and we as a municipal entity want to do our part to achieve these objectives,” explains Sigfrid Schock, Head of Department Sanitation Logistics and Technology. Two vehicles are already in service on Kiel streets, and the procurement of additional trucks with the Bosch Rexroth hybrid is planned. As Schock summarizes: “The HRB is the right step in the right direction.”

HRB reduces operating costs

HRB technology from Bosch Rexroth is designed for use in heavy vehicles that have to accelerate and brake frequently. The principle of the hydraulic hybrid is as simple as it is revolutionary: instead of wasting the kinetic energy created by braking in the form of useless heat, HRB converts it into hydraulic energy and stores it in special hydraulic accumulators. The next time an acceleration cycle is required, the stored energy is fed to the travel drive again.

HRB reduces fuel consumption and with it CO2 emissions by up to 25 percent – as confirmed by a study by the ADAC Driving Safety Center Berlin-Brandenburg. Use of the HRB system even reduces brake wear by up to 50 percent. This protects the environment and reduces operating costs, according to the summary of the German automobile club. The environmentally friendly vehicles are not only good for the environment; the hydraulic hybrid also pays off economically for cities and municipalities. Schock adds: “The added cost for procuring a vehicle will be paid off in six years at the most using the hydrostatic hybrid drive.”

Series production start in October

The first refuse truck equipped with HRB was introduced to the public by Bosch Rexroth at the IAA Commercial Vehicles exhibition together with the pilot customer Haller Umweltsysteme GmbH & Co. in September 2008. Two years later in September 2010, the German testing agency TÜV granted single vehicle approval to vehicles equipped with hybrid drives from Bosch Rexroth according to § 21 of the StVZO. Since then the road has been clear for use of the environmentally friendly HRB technology in vehicles used for waste collection on German streets. Currently such vehicles with the Bosch Rexroth hybrid on board are in operation in over ten cities. The official start of production is October 2010.

Bosch Rexroth AG is one of the world’s leading specialists in the field of drive and control technologies. Under the brand name of Rexroth the company supplies more than 500,000 customers with tailored solutions for driving, controlling and moving. Bosch Rexroth is a partner for industrial applications and factory automation, mobile applications and using renewable energies.

25 Years ZF Servocom – A Success Story

One of the most successful products by ZF Lenksysteme

GmbH, the joint venture of Robert Bosch GmbH and ZF

Friedrichshafen AG, is celebrating its birthday in this IAA

year: the ZF Servocom power steering system for

commercial vehicles was launched 25 years ago. In the

meantime, it is produced on three continents and is the

most successful power steering system worldwide for

light, medium, and heavy commercial vehicles.

The ZF Servocom, a compactly designed ball-and-nut power

steering system for trucks and buses, began its success story

in 1985. Since that time, the reliable steering design has been

continuously developed and adapted to specially configured

vehicles. The steering system has advanced to become a real

bestseller: By the end of 2009, more than seven million units

were sold worldwide. ZF Lenksysteme GmbH secured high

global market shares with this steering system. ZF Servocom

is produced in Germany at the Schwäbisch Gmünd location, in

Brazil (Sorocaba), and in China (Jinan).

Good maneuverability and smooth operation

This success is particularly due to the advantages that

PT_IAA10_01

Servocom offers, which makes it popular among drivers

and among forwarding agents and fleet operators. The steering

system enables a carefully coordinated interplay of precision

mechanics and finely adjustable hydraulics, even in the case of

high power transmission. It thereby provides the driver with a

precise report of the road. Servocom's compact and modular

design offers a wide range of application options at low

installation and maintenance costs.

Rear axle steering strengthens the product family

For some years now, the rear axle steering systems ZF

Servocom RAS (Rear Axle Steering) and ZF Servocom RAS-

EC (Rear Axle Steering – Electronically Controlled) enhance the

product family. Particularly the RAS is suited even for retrofitting

and manages, in contrast to other products available on the

market, without heavy and imprecise linkage.

Exhaust gas turbochargers for commercial vehicles from Bosch Mahle

Turbo Systems

Stuttgart, Germany, September 2010—Optimal operating maps and superior

service life are the success factors for exhaust gas turbochargers from Bosch

Mahle Turbo Systems for commercial vehicle engines.

In light of the Euro 6 and Tier 4 Final requirements, exhaust gas

turbochargers that combine optimal operating maps with superior service life

will be crucial for future commercial vehicle engine developments. Bosch

Mahle Turbo Systems now offers this key technology for reducing fuel

consumption and meeting emission standards over a wide range of variants.

After the company's founding Bosch Mahle Turbo Systems successfully

acquired two projects in the passenger car segment involving both gasoline

and diesel engines. The company is now poised to improve the quality of

exhaust gas turbochargers in commercial vehicle engines using optimized

simulation calculations, new materials, and new production processes.

The current product portfolio was originally created to serve passenger car

gasoline engines from 45 kW to 220 kW and passenger car diesel engines

from 35 kW to 165 kW. For the start of series production 2013, the company's

portfolio has been expanded to include the assemblies BM79, BM90, BM110,

and BM126. By using different rotor diameters (BM90 = 9.0 mm, for example)

and combinations of turbine rotors and compressor wheels, engines can be

endowed with power outputs of up to 530 kW.

Service life and responsiveness

Using select simulation tools, the responsiveness of an exhaust gas

turbocharger can be determined before it even enters production. Because

Bosch Mahle Turbo Systems develops its turbine rotors and compressor

wheels in-house, it is able to respond quickly and efficiently to OEM

demands. Optimized design programs used to design bearings make it

possible to predict the rotordynamic response with an exceptionally high

degree of accuracy already in the phase of design.

The product properties developed by Bosch Mahle Turbo Systems for

passenger car applications are now being carried over to the commercial

vehicle segment. These include the spontaneous buildup of boost pressure in

typical acceleration phases, resulting from the rotor's low mass moment of

inertia and from the low friction of its bearings. Additional design features

such as twin shaft sealing rings on the turbine and compressor side enable

the turbocharger to fulfill increasingly strict emission requirements.

To satisfy requirements for optimal responsiveness, Bosch Mahle Turbo

Systems uses highly durable, precision-milled (not cast) compressor wheels,

whose evenly balanced geometry effectively diminishes vibration and related

noise of the compressor. Furthermore, a broad variant diversity can be

realized with a small number of casting tools. This diversity allows the

thermodynamic properties of exhaust gas turbochargers to be perfectly

matched to OEM requirements.

Start of production for commercial vehicle exhaust gas turbochargers

in 2013

The engineering site in Stuttgart, Germany and the manufacturing sites in

Blaichach/Immenstadt, Germany and St. Michael, Austria are now prepared

for the commercial vehicle applications as well. At the Stuttgart engineering

site, hot-gas and engine test benches are available for testing. Starting in

2013, exhaust gas turbochargers will be produced on roughly 10,000 square

meters of usable floor space in St. Michael.

Bosch Mahle Turbo Systems is a joint venture of Robert Bosch GmbH and

MAHLE GmbH and thus participates in the strong understanding of the

complete system for combustion engines and in the outstanding know-how in

development and high-volume production of engine parts and components.

The company was founded in 2008 and currently employs approximately 160

employees.
