From London, to the Inca city of Machu Picchu, to Shanghai: This image film shows how our products spark enthusiasm worldwide, improve quality of life, and conserve natural resources.
In all our activities, we focus on improving quality of life. The connected Vivatmo device for measuring the inflammation of the airways is one example. For anyone who has asthma it can bring more confidence in their daily life.
“Sometimes it’s almost impossible to focus on the road.” Bus driver Marcus Linde from Sweden drives children to school every day. At any time, he can rely on sensors and ESP.
In India, the demand for two-wheelers is increasing rapidly. In many cities, however, air pollution is already at critical levels. Indian engineers are continuously working on improving Bosch’s electronic engine management systems (EMS), and by doing so, are contributing to improving quality of life.
Our strategic focal points –
what will help us succeed
Vivalytic from Bosch is the all-in-one solution for molecular diagnostics. The innovative system offers advantages in every application area, from the traditional medical environment to nursing homes and even in the industry. Its value has been proved also during the coronavirus pandemic.
A simple command from a smartphone that allows drivers to park their cars without having to follow or monitor them – a dream for many customers. The Mercedes-Benz Museum in Stuttgart features the first-ever infrastructure-based solution for a fully automated valet parking service in real conditions.
This self-learning AI sensor secures precision in fitness tracking. It provides an ideal all-in-one solution for always-on sensor applications such as fitness tracking, pedestrian positioning, machine learning analytics and orientation estimation.
Connected charging solutions from Bosch support drivers of electric vehicles with features like route planning, recommendations for charging points, continuously updated and accurate range prediction, easy payment options for use of public charging stations, or cost-optimized charging at home.
The world is changing, and mobility is changing with it. As vehicles become automated, electrified, and connected, they will increasingly take on the role of personal assistants. Join us for some crystal ball-gazing.
“We make cyclists smile!” That is the vision and purpose of the Bosch Ebike Systems. The division provides high quality smart eBike systems, from the eBike Flow app, control unit, display, battery and drive unit. It constantly improves and extends its portfolio to take riding to the next level, whether in everyday use or for fun.
Climate change presents towering challenges for humankind. Yet demand for electricity is rising worldwide. Bosch has found a way to balance the scales — its climate-friendly stationary solid oxide fuel cells are the key to finally making fossil fuels a thing of the past.
The future of mobility involves many concepts and ideas, one of which is automated driving. This has long since left the science-fiction realm to become a very real innovation that will make our lives easier and more enjoyable.
Energy efficiency comes in many forms, for instance by limiting resource use, emissions, and costs. The Bosch location in Nashik, India, has come up with its own approach: it operates the largest solar power plant in the country’s automotive industry with the aim to cover the daytime energy needs through solar power.
It is the Bosch factory of the future: digital solutions make everyday life easier; people and robots work together more closely. The working world is changing – and so are our tasks.
Data mining is a key competence for the future. Xiahan Shi writes code that turns mountains of data into useful knowledge. Her algorithms can predict things such as which cars will need to go to the workshop and when, and what will be wrong with them.
The use of extremely short laser pulses opens up new perspectives in series production. The concentrated power of these lasers allows any material to be processed quickly, precisely, and economically, and this on a mass scale.
280,000 people die in motorcycle accidents annually. Bosch is on a mission to reduce the risks of accidents by increasing the range of safety features and systems, as well as offering services which not only help save lives, but also increase comfort and joy from the riding experience.
“The most successful ideas are usually the most straightforward ones,” says Gökçe Çetin Gürbüz from Manisa, Turkey. And she is certainly successful: she filed her first patent at the age of just 27.
Our strengths – what we do well
Hackathons, hack days, and hack challenges are no longer unusual at Bosch. To make sure we create the best possible solutions, we draw on creative minds and experts inside and outside our company.
Three years after the groundbreaking ceremony on Robert Bosch's 150th birthday, the “UWC Robert Bosch College” officially opened its doors to students. 200 talented students of various nationalities will live and learn here together.
Competing with teams from around the world in self-designed and self-built race cars – that’s “Formula Student.” For a number of years, Bosch has been offering selected teams support in the shape of expert workshops, vehicle trials, money, and components.
Bosch is offering an additional 100 places on its technical vocational training schemes to young people from southern Europe. The initiative is a response to high rates of youth unemployment.
Since 1999, Bosch has been employing the services of retired former associates. They work for a limited period on projects or in a consultative capacity. In Germany, Ernst Gründler is one of them.
How does Bosch reach a younger audience? By inviting them to experience its Diversity, see what opportunities they may grasp. The Bosch Nordic experience takes university students on a journey to get to know the many surprising sides of Bosch.
Bosch’s own “Stanford”: in Renningen, Bosch has created the perfect conditions for connecting people and know-how. The focus is on applied research. Ideas are always developed with an eye to a specific product and the customer.
The automotive industry is in the middle of the most significant transformation. Without electrifying vehicles, set CO2 targets cannot be met. Fuel cell will play an important role here, as they are to become part sustainable mobility.
Safety is a key issue for many eBike riders. The Bosch eBike ABS makes the ride safer through the combination of front wheel ABS and rear wheel lift control. This provides advantages particularly while trekking, as well as and riding in the city.
Forest fires are responsible for 20% of global CO2 emissions. Together with Bosch, Dryad uses the BME688 gas sensor to enable ultra-early fire detection. In combination with the BME AI-studio, the sensor can detect forest fires before they develop into open fires.
Thanks to the POWER FOR ALL 18V system, a single battery works for all tools. Not only does one battery fit all green 18V Bosch tools, it now also works with 18V tools of many other brands as Gardena, Bosch Home Appliances, GLORIA House and Garden, Wagner and Rapid within the POWER FOR ALL ALLIANCE.
MSC motorcycle stability control offers the best possible safety for motorcyclists. The system’s safety benefits are especially evident in bends, which is where almost half of all fatal motorcycle accidents occur.
At the wafer plant in Reutlingen, artificial intelligence has massively improved optical inspection. Some 40 percent of all wafers no longer have to be checked manually after being processed in the lithographic unit. This means more efficiency, precision, and quality.
The third generation of the front video camera has a key part to play in driver assistance systems because it enables vehicles to reliably detect objects and people at all times. Classic image-processing algorithms are combined with artificial intelligence methods to guarantee resilient object detection.
The optical bonding project focuses on improving image quality of all products using a display. Light reflection often reduces the quality of the image in car displays but thanks to optical bonding, the reflection is minimized, and the display itself becomes harder and resistant to dust.
Filters protect valuable engine components. The Bosch filters feature high-quality materials, top processing and technical expertise. They are reliable in protecting engine components against the smallest dirt particulates, abrasive particles and water.
