Bosch always provides green products in China. One focal point of the Bosch investment in China is energy-efficient, clean, and green-drive solutions such as common-rail diesel systems, in which the company will invest some 200 million euros ($279 million) over the next three years. Bosch pioneered the use of high-pressure injection technology and supplies it to the Chinese market through its long-term partnership with Weifu in Wuxi.
As China introduces stricter emission legislation to protect the environment, Bosch expects production in Wuxi further expand. The China-III emission limits for diesel vehicles can only be met with electronically controlled injection systems, especially if fuel consumption is minimized. To support that development, production at the Wuxi manufacturing site is expected to increase from 100,000 systems last year to 1.4 million in 2010.
By the end of 2009, the number of associates at Wuxi will have doubled to 3,900 compared to 2008, while 100 new engineers are set to join the technical center. In addition to common-rail technology, Bosch also develops gasoline direct injection at its joint venture UAES. Automatic transmission control units, start-stop systems and engine management systems for the two-wheeler segment will also help reduce fuel consumption and emissions.
