Bosch at IAA 2012 in Hanover

Solutions for tomorrow’s commercial vehicles - At the IAA 2012 we will be presenting our latest developments for clean and economical, safe and comfortable driving: optimized injection and exhaust-gas treatment systems for internal combustion engines, systems for hybrid and electric vehicles, and assistance and safety systems for all classes of commercial vehicle.



For clean, economical drive systems:

Turbocharging for commercial-vehicle engines



To satisfy the high demands on service life of commercial vehicles, we provide highly dependable turbochargers that perform under rigorous operating conditions. Our turbochargers feature a robust core unit, comprising an optimized compressor and turbine wheels. An efficient wastegate regulation system ensures precise boost pressure control. To increase engine performance and low-end torque, we offer two-stage turbocharging, resulting in improved vehicle drivability and a reduction in harmful emissions.



Interconnected systems reconcile two benefits.



The interaction of individual drive components doesn't only lower costs, but also protects the environment. For example: With the Axle Split plug-In Hybrid-System the driver is given the ability to shift from diesel to electric drive at the push of a button – among other things. This way the combustion engine can achieve maximum efficiency on the highway – while electric drive mode guarantees clean air in urban traffic



Drive concepts for diesel and alternative fuels



With its comprehensive systems know-how, Bosch offers the latest technology for diesel injection, exhaust-gas treatment, and naturalgas drives, as well as for DualFuel systems that can run on either diesel or natural gas.



Diesel hybrid for commercial vehicles



Bosch is expanding its range of hybrid drives to include commercialvehicle platforms. Its modular concept covers all the standard vehicle segments, for Light Duty to Heavy Duty.



Waste heat recovery system (WHR system)



For the first time, Bosch is presenting its WHR system for recovering energy from exhaust gas. With a steam power process engergy will regained from ehaust gas. Waste heat is converted into usable mechanical energy by means of an expansion machine.

For greater safety:



Lane Change Assist



Lane Change Assist includes the Blind Spot Warning function and the Closing Vehicle Warning function and monitors the areas to the side and diagonally behind the vehicle. If the system detects vehicles in the blind spot or vehicles which are approaching from the rear, it warns the driver visually. If the driver indicates to change lanes, the system can additionally emit an audible and/or haptic warning to make the driver aware of potential hazards.



Systems in a Safety Net.



The intelligent interconnection of components and security systems helps to avoid accidents and thus protects road users. For example: New functionalities enable vehicles to recognize the end of a traffic jam and to break automatically if the driver doesn't react quickly enough. As a result the vehicle doesn't only protect its passengers but also those of the car in front of it.



ESP electronic stability program



Our ESP 9LE und ESP 9TE generation 9 active safety systems help to stabilize light commercial vehicles in critical situations.



MRR mid-range radar sensor



The MRR mid-range radar sensor is a further addition to the Bosch portfolio of radar sensor systems. A number of safety and comfort functions in light and heavy commercial vehicles, such as predictive emergency braking, are based on this system.



Predictive Emergency Braking System



In order to reduce the risk of a rear-end collision or mitigate the consequences of such a collision, Bosch has developed the Predictive Emergency Braking System. The system, which is based on the networking of a radar sensor with the Electronic Stability Program (ESP), continuously analyzes the traffic ahead. It supports the driver at all speeds – both by day and by night.

For more comfort & convenience:



Connectivity Control Unit



With this unit, Bosch offers the possibility to instantly recognize vehicle error conditions. The information thus gained is automatically transmitted to a data processing center, analyzed and made available to fleet managers for further evaluation. Thanks to this data, service and repairs are always performed according to requirements. As a result the costs for maintaining and managing large fleets are lowered.



Direct interconnection of entertainment and information.



In order to make things easier for the driver, our interconnected comfort systems classify large amounts of information and display it according to priority. For example: When making a call with a smartphone the display will show a foto of the person called. When there is an important alert, such as traffic jam ahead, the driving route is recalculated automatically, aligned directly with the control center and displayed instead of the foto.



Eco.Logic motion



The aim of this new Bosch comfort system is to optimize commercial-vehicle consumption by using extended navigation data, such as information about inclines or curve radii, to optimize engine management and transmission control. Its sophisticated algorithms reduce fuel consumption and CO₂ emissions by up to 5 percent.



##IMAGE_7_R##Driver’s workplace demonstrator



Our vision of the driver’s workplace comprises a personalized and networked human-machine interface that prioritizes and manages the flood of information coming from the radio, navigation system, instrument panel, data network, and telephone. By concentrating relevant information for display on a freely programmable cluster, the drivers’ workload is eased as much as possible.



Smart connectivity



Bosch offers a range of innovative devices for connecting vehicles and making them a part of the connected world. As one example of the many possible applications, Bosch will be demonstrating an onboard unit for satellite-based toll collection. Other solutions assist operators of large fleets when dispatching their vehicles or in the continuous monitoring of operating data to flag up any technical fault conditions.
