Bosch is developed appropriate technical solutions for each element in the above scenario as part of its “seven-point program”: By 2020, the goal is to reduce the fuel consumption of diesel and gasoline engines by as much as 20% over 2012 levels. When natural gas is burned, roughly 25% less CO 2 is released than with gasoline.
