BOSCH is Addressing Climate Change

In an effort to quickly reduce emissions and improve fuel economy, Bosch is developing advancements in gasoline and diesel engine technologies to improve the efficiency of the internal combustion engine, as it will remain the dominant powertrain for the next 20 years. Specifically, the company is focused on developing new combustion processes and highly precise injection technology.

Bosch’s second generation gasoline direct injection technology paired with turbocharging technology, allows for the production of smaller displacement engines while achieving the same output, consuming less fuel and producing fewer emissions. Gasoline direct injection with turbocharging enables both the reduction of CO2 emissions and fuel consumption, each by up to 18 percent. Bosch’s gasoline direct injection technology was showcased at the track in the 2010 Lincoln MKT, 2010 Lincoln MKS, 2010 Ford Flex, 2009 Volkswagen CC 2.0T, 2009 Volkswagen GLI 2.0L FSI Turbo and the 2009 Audi A4.

The company’s diesel common rail system, powered by piezo-inline technology, dramatically improves performance while providing an environmentally sound solution in today’s vehicle. Bosch’s emission-reducing diesel engine technology includes high-pressure common rail and unit injector systems that increase fuel economy up to 30 percent, reduce carbon dioxide emissions by nearly 25 percent and increase torque by 50 percent as compared to a traditional port fuel injection engine.

Also, Bosch’s Denoxtronic reduction agent with Selective Catalytic Reduction (SCR) helps reduce nitrous oxide (NOx) by up to 85 percent and increases fuel efficiency by up to 5 percent. Future generations of Bosch’s clean diesel technology will enable the development of a mid-class diesel vehicle capable of achieving 80 mpg with CO2 emissions under 99 grams per kilometer. Bosch’s clean diesel technology was demonstrated at the track in the 2009 Volkswagen Jetta TDI, 2009 Audi Q7 TDI, 2010 Mercedes ML350 BlueTEC and the 2009 BMW X5d.
