It was the beginning of the 1950s when Bosch launched the first gasoline direct-injection system onto the market. Nowadays, this system is still the industry standard in new internal-combustion engines. The constantly rising demand for mobility around the world means that the need for optimized fuel consumption and reduced emissions is also growing – a challenge that continues to make gasoline direct injection a key technology for the future.

Gasoline direct injection offers many advantages for drivers and vehicle manufacturers alike. Downsizing and turbocharging make fuel consumption and CO₂ emissions much lower while maintaining the same output. Thanks to the high level of torque, drivers benefit from an improved vehicle response and more dynamic handling. Increasing the charge-air pressure while reducing the displacement ensures a specific output of 60–100 kW/l. Bosch has kept on developing gasoline direct injection since 1951, offering in this regard not only the very best technology to vehicle manufacturers, but also many years of technical expertise.
