Europe will have 15% of new cars equipped with adaptive cruise control system

Dr. Bernd Bohr believes that the future is still the world of electric vehicles, but it will take at least a decade to get a lot of popularity because of the high cost of batteries and the limited mileage. Bosch's "Electrical Planning" is similar to GM, Mercedes-Benz, BMW, Ford, etc.: While embarking on the development of pure electric vehicles, it also promotes mass production of various hybrid models. In fact, Bosch has spent a period of time in the development of electric vehicles, invested heavily, and accumulated a solid strength, its products include power electronic controllers, semiconductor components and motors. Dr. Bernd Bohr also revealed that SB LiMotive, a joint venture between Bosch and Samsung Vision, began producing lithium-ion batteries at the end of last year. "By 2013, Bosch will mass-produce nearly 20 electric vehicle projects for 12 vehicle manufacturers." In addition, Bosch plans to establish a joint venture with Daimler to develop and manufacture motors for European electric vehicles. Bosch is equally ambitious in terms of auto parts in reducing fuel consumption. Last year, in response to climate change, the European Union set strict emissions targets: the average carbon dioxide emissions of new cars in 2020 will be less than 95 grams per kilometer, 35% on a 2009 basis, and 70 per kilometer by 2025. Grams. At this meeting, Bosch experts believe that this requirement is harsh, but for internal combustion engine vehicles, it is still feasible, and the internal combustion engine has potential for further excavation. “Bosch can provide gasoline and diesel for the automotive industry to achieve this goal. technology".

How to achieve? Bosch's R&D direction mainly focuses on two aspects: First, the engine miniaturization reduces friction loss by reducing the number of displacements and the number of cylinders, and reduces the required valve core quality and reduces the heat loss of the engine; on this basis, the turbocharger is increased. Pressure technology, increase the amount of air intake, so that combustion is more fully. Dr. Bohr said that Bosch's new turbocharging system will be put into operation by the end of the year and will produce 1 million units by 2015. Second, before the end of the year, mass production of the 2,200-bar diesel common-rail injection system was achieved, and research on the 2,500-bar common-rail system was initiated. In addition, Bosch engineers are also working hard to develop a system for reducing nitrogen oxide emissions, which can reduce at least 5 % of fuel consumption. Bosch officially stated that it will reduce the cost of existing systems, especially ABS prices, and build factories in India and Brazil to achieve local production; in addition, it will further promote the process of ESP becoming the standard for new cars. In addition to reducing the cost of existing systems, Bosch stated that the research department is also developing radar-based and video-based features such as predictive emergency braking systems, lateral-vision-assisted systems, lane departure warning systems, and night vision systems. Many features have appeared on production models.
