Bosch achieves harmonious traffic with innovative technologies


Recently, the reporter was invited to Germany to participate in the 58th International Automotive Press Conference organized by the Bosch Group. At the meeting, the Bosch Group introduced more than 10 new automotive technologies to be put into operation, demonstrating Bosch's powerful technological innovation capabilities that "the beauty of life in science and technology is alive."

This auto press conference attracted more than 350 journalists from 35 countries. The topics focused on automotive drive and exhaust emission processing systems, safety and comfort systems, and product concepts developed for the fast-growing, low-cost automotive market. aspect. Dr. Bernd Bohr, member of the Bosch Group Executive Board and president of the automotive business, said that in 2006, Bosch spent about 10% of its sales on R&D. As an independent supplier of global innovation systems, Bosch is committed to working hand in hand with customers to jointly create new products. Zero pollution and zero accident road traffic environment in the future.

Low emission of complete technology

Christopher Qualters, Bosch's head of diesel engine sales in the US, believes that fuel is currently becoming a hot topic in the United States due to the environmental protection and economy of clean diesel. For this reason, Bosch is still creating the necessary technical conditions in order to help diesel vehicles achieve breakthroughs in the US market in the next few years. It is reported that by 2008, Bosch's improved nitrogen oxide catalytic conversion technology will help diesel engines meet US strict US07 BIN 5 emission standards. By then, Audi, BMW, Mercedes, and Volkswagen will introduce clean diesel fuel using Bosch Denoxtronic technology. car.

At the same time, Bosch is working hard to further optimize the gasoline engine. Bosch's second-generation gasoline direct injection system, combined with turbocharging technology, can reduce the size of the engine. This means that smaller exhaust volumes can achieve the same performance as conventional valve nozzles, and at the same time, carbon dioxide emissions will be reduced by about 15%, and even exceed the US's most stringent emission requirements for “ultra-low emission vehicles”. In 2007, Bosch will supply approximately 900,000 gasoline direct injection systems. By 2010, this number may exceed 2 million.

In addition, Bosch has developed injection technology for many alternative fuels, including compressed natural gas (CNG) and high ethanol content gasoline (such as E85 or flexible fuel) and so on. For example, in Brazil, a large number of buses using Bosch flexible fuel injection technology have been put on the market. These cars can use gasoline and ethanol as fuel.

According to Dr. Rolf Leonhard, Bosch's Executive Vice President of Diesel Systems Engineering, Bosch is also one of the first international companies to research and develop related technologies for hybrid (combined internal combustion engine and electric motors). Bosch research shows that hybrid power can not only reduce CO2 emissions. For example, hybrid systems and diesel hybrid systems can reduce CO2 emissions by about 25% and 40%, respectively, compared to the transmission engine; and hybrid technology can also reduce Vehicle fuel consumption. For example, in urban conditions, Bosch's start-stop system can reduce fuel consumption by up to 8%; Bosch generators with regenerative braking energy can also save 2% to 3%. At the meeting, Dr. Bohr announced that Bosch has received a contract for the purchase of gasoline and diesel hybrids, which fully demonstrates Bosch's efforts in the area of ​​clean power.

System integration zero accident

While developing a clean and economical drive system, Bosch is also committed to developing technologies that make driving safe and comfortable. At the conference, Dr. Rainer Kallenbach, Executive Vice President Sales of Bosch Automotive Electronics Co., Ltd., introduced the concept of “sensitive car” that Bosch is fully developing. Kallenbach said that it will not be long before, because it is equipped with sensors and ultra-high-performance electronic systems, this kind of car can observe all the situations that happen around. In other words, the "eye" of a car is a video camera. Its "tentacles" are ultrasonic and radar sensors, and they are positioned by using the maps and positioning information provided by satellites or navigation systems. In this way, the "sensitive car" auxiliary system Being able to derive an understanding of the driving environment, the system will use this information to alert, rescue and support the driver to ensure that the driver maintains a high degree of focus at critical times and alerts the driver of imminent danger.

Kallenbach explained that the car can automatically identify dangerous situations and automatically intervene in driving operations when necessary, which may sound like a vision of the future. However, in fact, some of these features have been gradually or will soon be mass-produced. For example, the Bosch Signpost Quick Scan System and the Automatic Emergency Braking System will be put into production in 2009; the road hazard automatic identification system and the lane yaw warning system will also be in volume production in 2010. Among them, the automatic emergency braking system can automatically trigger an emergency brake in anticipation of an impending collision, to reduce the severity of the collision.

Michael Strugala, chief of the R&D section of the occupant safety business of the automotive electronics division of Bosch Co., Ltd., delivered a keynote speech around CAPS. Strugala said that once an accident occurs, active safety systems can help drivers avoid traffic accidents; passive safety systems can reduce the severity of accident consequences. Now, Bosch is researching a brand-new safety technology, namely the active safety and passive safety system - CAPS, among them, Bosch has already put into operation a plurality of CAPS technology. For example, after the first collision of the vehicle, the SCM system that will continue to collide due to loss of maneuverability of the driver will be put into production in 2009.

High investment innovation protection

Through the press conference of the day, as well as the Bogsch 100-year-old museum that was visited during the same period, and the Boxberg testing ground where various tests can be conducted, Bosch highly values ​​the tradition of technological innovation and is impressive. It is reported that in 2006, Bosch only invested more than 2.7 billion euros in the R&D projects of the automotive technology business, roughly equivalent to 10% of the sales of 27.2 billion euros realized by the business unit, far higher than the industry average. Level. It can be seen that the huge capital input has input a continuous stream of power for Bosch's technological innovation.

Dr. Bohr emphasized that auto parts suppliers are increasingly taking on more shares in the large number of pre-investments related to R&D. Although, Bosch is also facing the unprecedented pressure of price cuts in the global automotive market, coupled with the strength of the euro is even worse. However, even so, Bosch's investment in research and development in 2007 will remain as high as last year and is expected to be equivalent to about 10% of sales. Because, Bosch believes that the return time of R&D investment will never be far behind. Only by having innovative technologies can we be at a core position in the competition, thus defining the future development trend of the car and winning very high benefits.
