In <strong>Bosch</strong>’s view, electromobility has a promising future for<br />
individual transportation over the long term. That is why<br />
we invest some 400 million euros annually in this business<br />
field, working on powertrain electrification and developing<br />
systems solutions for hybrid and electric vehicles. In<br />
2010, we started series production of a parallel full hybrid<br />
in two premium models. Starting in 2011, a further automaker<br />
will be marketing diesel vehicles that incorporate<br />
<strong>Bosch</strong> hybrid technology.<br />
The biggest technical challenge in electromobility is energy<br />
storage – the battery, in other words. It needs to be<br />
powerful, durable, robust, and costeffective. In a joint<br />
venture with Samsung SDI, <strong>Bosch</strong> has been developing<br />
such batteries since 2008. This joint venture, SB LiMotive<br />
Ltd., supplies battery cells and systems, and gained new<br />
major customers in 2010. In November 2010, series production<br />
started at the joint venture’s manufacturing facility<br />
in Ulsan, Korea.<br />
<strong>Bosch</strong> manufactures automotive technology<br />
at 122 locations in 29 countries.<br />
