Batteries

ST Hightec EFB – The innovator in Start-Stop Technologies

Enhanced Flooded Batteries (EFB) are built for higher performance and reliability than standard flooded batteries. They are designed to support standard Start-Stop engines, which put greater demands on the battery.

Even for non Start-Stop vehicles, the EFB can also be fitted to enhance starting performance and meet the ever increasing electrical demands of modern vehicles.

The EFB provides increased cyclic stability, enabling faster recovery from deep discharges. In a Start-Stop vehicle, the EFB maintains power supply to the electrical devices when the engine shuts off, and is able to restart in a fraction of a second.

  • Enhance Flooded Battery (EFB) are built for high performance and reliability, even under extreme conditions.
  • High density active material and optimized particle size ensures extra-long service life.
  • Optimised negative grid alloy retards corrosion and prolongs battery life during high depth of discharge cycling.

ST Hightec AGM – For Optimum Start-Stop Technology

AGM (Absorbent Glass Mat) technology is one of the top battery technologies in the market today. Dynamic recharging capability and up to 4 times the number of discharge / charge cycles compared to conventional starter batteries, meeting the toughest requirements. This is a must for Start-Stop systems with brake energy recuperation, but also for vehicles with a high number of electrical convenience functions.

The trend towards fuel savings and emission reductions has popularised Stop-Start vehicles.

  • Extra-long service life double labyrinth lid construction preventing water loss.
  • 100% leakage proof with AGM technology.
  • High charge acceptance.

Spark Plug

Spark Plugs

When success is measured in milliseconds, it’s all about the details

When success is measured in milliseconds, it’s all about the details:

Back in 1902 Bosch presented its first spark plug together with a high-voltage magneto ignition system thus marking a milestone on the path to the rapidly growing motor vehicle production of the following decades.

Modern vehicles need to meet increasing demands. They are judged based on factors such as fuel economy, low emissions and fun to drive. Many vehicle manufacturers rely on the high quality, reliability and performance of Bosch spark plugs for their vehicles’ original equipment.

System and component developer:

Thanks to its close cooperation with vehicle manufacturers, Bosch gained outstanding know-how – concerning components such as spark plugs as well as gasoline injection systems. It allows Bosch to offer a comprehensive range of spark plugs and ignition components matching the specific requirements of different engines on the aftermarket.

Technological competence:

The aftermarket also benefits from motorsport and original-equipment innovations. Future trends and technologies are implemented at the production of spark plugs for series-production passenger cars and are often even further developed before being launched onto the workshop and retail markets.

Spark Plug

High market coverage:

With a worldwide market coverage of almost 95%, Bosch supplies matching spark plugs for almost any vehicle – and geared to the specific requirements of the respective engine.

High quality:

Following the first Bosch spark plug launched in 1902, several other patents have also been filed. These include, for instance, the Continuous Wave (CW) laser welding method significantly increasing the durability of the welded connection on the center electrode. Innovative alloys such as nickel, yttrium and precious metals ensure a long service life. Production procedures such as the heat-shrink assembly, nickel-coated spark plug housings and threads ensure a high reliability and a long service life.

Brakes
Why Choose Bosch European Brake Applications?

Global Trusted Brand

  • Bosch is a renowned global automotive innovator with over 90 years of brake development.
  • Vehicle brakes are subjected to extreme loads. For example, braking horsepower is about 10 times engine horsepower, which is why brake pads reach such high temperatures. During long mountain descents or when driving in stop-and-go highway traffic, temperatures can easily reach as high as 650°C. To ensure safety, brake pads therefore need to be regularly inspected and replaced only with high quality products such as Bosch brake pads.

Quality and Performance Guaranteed

  • Bosch European brake applications are designed to meet the increasing demands of today’s vehicles.
  • Bosch brake pads have been developed to withstand extreme loads and are manufactured from especially high quality materials. Extensive performance and NVH dynamometer testing along with extreme environment testing ensures that Bosch brake pads demonstrate a high level of performance and service life before being approved for sale.

European vehicles

  • Bosch Blue Line brake pads are vehicle match engineered to determine the best match of advanced friction formulations.
  • All Bosch European brake pads comply with ECE R90 regulation.t
