Bosch: Electrification and Automation are Two Main Lines of Future Technology

Key data : 10 years ago, there were only about 2% gasoline direct injection system vehicles in the world, and now this figure has increased to 22%; 10 years ago, only about 14% of vehicles worldwide installed electronic stability program ESP, and now this A figure has increased to 54%.

“How do we drive in the future? How environmental protection and safety are there in the future?” said Dr. Bernd Bohr, Chairman of Bosch Group’s automotive technology business. Obviously, what kind of system will drive the driving of future vehicles is also in the question of Dr. Bohr's design.

On June 12th, at the "61st Bosch International Automotive Media Exchange Conference" held at Bosch's Boxberg Automotive Testing Center in Germany, the vision for the future of automotive technology was once again the two years of international automotive media exchange. Main tone.

“Who would dare to assert that the development of automotive technology has reached a peak? In fact, on the contrary, the pace of development of the automotive industry has never stopped, especially in the field of powertrain electrification and automatic driving technology.” Indeed, needless to say, Bohr Dr. Bo’s words have already expressed Bosch’s technological inclination. “As we will demonstrate today, Bosch is committed to advancing the advancement and development of these two technologies.”

Key data : Bosch predicts that by 2020, there will be 110 million newly registered vehicles worldwide, of which 12 million will use electrified drive systems.

In fact, despite Bosch's own prediction that in 2020, more than one-tenth of the vehicles newly registered worldwide will be electrified, Bosch fully believes that most of the world’s vehicles will continue to Driven by diesel and gasoline, this is consistent with Bosch's previous consistent claim. In this regard, Dr. Rolf Bulander, President of Gasoline Systems, President of Bosch's two traditional power systems, and Dr. Markus Heyn, President of Diesel Systems, believe that the electrified drive system will bring a brand new driving experience, but the future power system solution is Diversified - combination of internal combustion engines, electrification and compressed natural gas.

Specifically, if the European 2020 will introduce the most stringent emission standards, which require vehicles to achieve an average CO2 emission of less than 95 grams per kilometre, what will be the general model of future drive systems that meet regulatory requirements?

For mini vehicles, the current advanced gasoline and diesel systems are highly efficient, and even without an electric drive system, they can already meet the strict carbon emission targets of the future. Compared to Bosch's technology, such as improved fuel injection technology, turbocharger and so on. The key point of its technology is to reduce the size while achieving low cost and high efficiency.

For compact vehicles or medium-sized powertrains, advanced diesel systems are now able to meet emissions regulations, and gasoline systems can only approach emissions standards as of 2020. In order to further reduce carbon dioxide emissions, an economical hybrid solution is essential. The corresponding Bosch technology includes: effective recovery of braking energy technology, electric clutch technology, and hydraulic hybrid technology. The key point of its technology is the system that allows the powertrain to be weakly electrified.

For large cars or premium cars and SUVs, even with the improved internal combustion engine system, they still cannot achieve the above CO2 emission target and must install a higher-performance hybrid system for this purpose. For example, Bosch is developing an effective plug-in hybrid system that can travel up to 60 kilometers on electricity alone. The key point of its technology is: strong mixing and more power participation process.

In addition to the electrification of powertrains, since natural gas emits about 25% less carbon dioxide than gasoline, Bosch believes that it is possible to use economical CNG powertrains in all classes of vehicles. "In short, the bigger cars need to be equipped with more electrified drive systems." Dr. Bohr gave a summary answer.

Key data : Bosch has accumulated sales of approximately 5 billion euros in safety systems and driver assistance systems. Bosch predicts that sales growth in this area will reach 10% per year in the next 10 years.

In a market survey of Germany, France, and Italy, the three major Western European countries, driver assistance technology was widely recognized, and 60% of respondents supported the development of autonomous driving technology.

"The strong business growth will mainly come from the driver assistance system." Bosch gave a clear judgment on the future market. Although Bosch's starting point for driver assistance systems and even autonomous driving technology is prevention, it is undeniable that Bosch's related technologies also play their due role in various aspects such as intelligent transportation, comfort and energy conservation.

Among Bosch's related technologies, such as parking technology, its enhanced parking aid system will enter mass production by 2015. In the future, through the system's own remote control device and 360-degree video sensor, it is expected to find a suitable parking space in a crowded parking lot and make it easy to park.

With regard to the stop-and-go technology, Bosch will launch a technology to assist lane keeping in traffic congestion in 2014. In the future, the system will become a pilot of the vehicle, assist the driver in driving the vehicle and have the function of automatically changing lanes.

Another Bosch technology that has just been tested on the freeway is Autopilot. Its R&D includes the combination of lane keeping assist and adaptive cruise control, and ultimately achieves zero accidents and automatic driving of the Bosch vision. In response, Bosch gave the answer: After 10 years, the autopilot system will be expected to go public.

Key data : Natural gas vehicles have a carbon dioxide emission reduction of about 25% compared with gasoline vehicles, natural gas prices are 50% lower than gasoline, and the compound market growth rate is much higher than that of gasoline and diesel vehicles.

In fact, Bosch not only has many advanced technologies in its most advantageous powertrain and chassis control systems, as the latest exploration results show that natural gas reserves far exceed oil reserves, and in the real market, natural gas vehicles in the past 10 years The annual growth rate of the market is as high as 25%. Bosch has the world's smallest natural gas injectors and other technologies, which also have great economic and technological advantages in this field. It is currently in a favorable market position. From this we can see that Bosch’s vision is very promising in the selection of future technologies, but it is still very realistic.

Taking the example of Dr. Bohr, who is about to retire at his own pace for 10 years, may be able to explain the problem. When Bohr first lectured at the Bosch International Automotive Media Forum 10 years ago, the topic was "The Future of Bosch and the Automotive Industry." Today, 10 years later, his last speech topic became "Bosch Innovation Technology: Leading the future of driving." After 10 years of evolution, Bosch's innovative technologies have become more sophisticated and systematic. Although the future of the automotive industry is still being explored, there is already a clearer judgment on this future and more development of its own technology. Emboldened, "high efficiency and environmental protection + safety and comfort" is the future direction of technology development.

Petroleum Resin

Petroleum Resin (Hydrocarbon resin) is a kind of thermal plasticizing hydrocarbon resin produced by C5, C9 fraction.It is not a high polymer but a low polymer with the molecular weight between 300-3000. Featured by ACID value, easy mutual solubilities, resistant to water, resistant to ethanol and chemicals.
Generally, the petroleum resins are not used independently, but have to be used together with other kinds of resins as promoters, adjusting agents and modifiers in hot-melt adhesive, pressure-sensitive adhesive, hot melt road marking paint, rubber tires and so on.
