More and more people are demanding individual mobility to reach destinations that are ever farther away as easily, quickly, affordably, and sustainably as possible. At the same time, freight traffic is following the same upward trend. But how is it possible to reconcile this increase in traffic with future emissions targets? For Bosch, one possible answer to this question is a mixture of various energy-efficient powertrain solutions. That is why we are continuing to promote optimized internal-combustion engines alongside electric drive systems and also why we are committed to using renewable synthetic fuels: for safe, sustainable, and inspiring mobility.
“Future mobility should satisfy numerous requirements at the same time.” Uwe Gackstatter, president of the Powertrain Solutions division
A lot will be asked of future mobility solutions. They ought to be carbon-neutral, remain affordable, and cater to the needs of all kinds of customers all over the world. All types of powertrain systems need to be deployed to fulfill these objectives; after all, mobility requirements differ between countries and application scenarios.
Uwe Gackstatter, president of the Powertrain Solutions division, explains in a video interview exactly how valuable technology neutrality is for the future of mobility, which approaches Bosch is adopting, and how the company can succeed in combining carbon neutrality with more demanding mobility requirements in the future.
Synthetic fuels bind CO₂ during their production. The greenhouse gas therefore becomes a raw material and can then be used to produce gasoline, diesel, or natural gas.
Synthetic fuels generated from renewable energy sources ensure carbon-neutral combustion. This is not only true for new vehicles, but also for the 1.3 billion or so vehicles that already exist. Read more
