HANOVER, Germany — Bosch presented a range of products and innovations to support the trucking industry’s movement toward vehicle electrification and automated driving here at the IAA Commercial Vehicles show.
The global automotive supplier introduced an electrified axle for semi-trailers, highlighted its investment in battery-electric and fuel cell technology for commercial vehicles and outlined its vision for “hub-to-hub” autonomous trucks in the United States.
“The road freight of the future should ideally be as free of emissions, accidents and stress as possible. To achieve this, we have to increasingly electrify, automate and connect it,” Rolf Bulander, a Bosch board member and chairman of its mobility solutions business, said during the company’s IAA press conference on Sept. 19.
Moving forward, Bosch sees a variety of alternative powertrain options having a place in commercial trucks.
