Bosch, at the IAA Transportation trade fair in Hannover, has reiterated the importance of accelerating the expansion of electric charging stations and hydrogen filling stations in Germany and Europe to boost the adoption of alternative powertrains in the commercial vehicle sector. The company projects that by 2030, nearly 20 percent of newly registered commercial vehicles will have battery-electric powertrains, while fuel cells will represent around 3 percent. Looking ahead to 2035, Bosch anticipates one in three trucks to have a battery onboard, and one in ten to feature a fuel cell. However, the company emphasizes the necessity of robust infrastructure for effective freight transport electrification. Bosch aims to achieve over 80 billion euros in global sales by 2029 and plans to revamp its commercial-vehicle business setup starting in January 2025 to align with the growth in global freight transport and the transition to alternative powertrains. The new business unit, under Jan-Oliver Röhrl's leadership, will merge key competencies to enhance efficiency and safety in truck and off-highway applications. The company's focus on powertrain technologies extends to batteries, fuel cells, hydrogen engines, and modern combustion engines, with an eye on the potential of synthetic fuels in climate change mitigation. Moreover, Bosch addresses the software-defined mobility trend by enabling upgradability in commercial vehicles, offering software solutions and services through its digital platform, L. OS. These solutions optimize fleet management, route planning, and vehicle maintenance, enhancing operational efficiency. Bosch's innovations in assistance systems for commercial vehicles, showcased at the fair, include products like the e-axle for heavy commercial vehicles in China, essential components for hydrogen engines in India, and collaboration on cryogenic pumps for hydrogen refueling in the U.S. These technologies, along with safety features like lane-keeping support and fuel optimization through the electronic horizon system, are poised to make freight transport more sustainable and efficient globally.
