Setup for commercial-vehicle business
The German automotive supplier Bosch is reorganising its commercial-vehicle (CV) business. Starting January 2025, the company will pool important competencies in a new business unit, bringing together system development and product and portfolio management for trucks and off-highway applications. The aim is to make CVs even safer and more efficient by focusing on powertrain diversity and technology neutrality, Bosch said.
According to the company’s internal forecasts, around 20% of all globally newly registered CVs heavier than 6 t will have a battery-electric powertrain in 2030, while fuel cells will have a share of around 3%. By 2035, a good one in three trucks will have a battery on board, and one in ten will feature a fuel cell. (ben)
