Bosch overview of global diesel markets; optimistic about US, China

Green Car Congress

In addition to the ongoing strength in the European market and India (the second-largest diesel market after Europe, Bosch sees potential strength in North America and China. Because diesel vehicles already account for a high share of the European market, opportunities for growth are correspondingly moderate.

Bosch study highlights potential of e-fuels to reduce CO2 emissions

Green Car Congress

Even if all cars were to drive electrically one day, aircraft, ships, and even trucks will still run mainly on fuel. In this way, the cost of exhaust-gas treatment can be reduced, Bosch adds. If the electricity used is generated from renewables (and thus CO 2 -free), such fuels are carbon-neutral and very versatile.

Bosch says it has solved diesel NOx problem; as low as 13 mg NOx/km even under RDE; refining existing technologies

Green Car Congress

A dynamic driving style demands an equally dynamic recirculation of exhaust gases. With a combination of high- and low-pressure exhaust-gas recirculation, the air-flow management system becomes even more flexible. To ensure optimum NO x conversion, the exhaust gases must be hotter than 200 degrees Celsius. —Volkmar Denner.
