Robert Bosch GmbH

История немецкого концерна Bosch начинается с небольшой «Мастерской точной механики и электротехники» в 1886 году. Изначально в ней работало только два человека. Роберт Бош открыл мастерскую на деньги из отцовского наследства. В 1887 году была разработана первая система зажигания для двигателей внутреннего сгорания. Решение Боша стало заменой опасных трубок Даймлера. Сейчас автозапчасти Bosch являются образцом инноваций и качества.

For the production of spare parts for ignition in 1909, a factory was opened in the German city of Feuerbach, in subsequent years the company began to produce starters, horns, direction indicators and windshield wipers. Already in the 1920s, the range of automotive components was significantly expanded, and in 1927, a fuel injection pump for diesel truck engines began to be produced, then for passenger cars.

The period 1933-1945 was characterized by serious controversy for Bosch. Some employees actively supported the Third Reich, while others categorically rejected it, which created certain development risks before and after World War II. To avoid negative consequences in 1937, Robert Bosch changed the form of ownership of the enterprise, transferred it from a joint-stock company to a limited liability company in order to keep the business for family members. By the end of 1945, almost all production facilities were destroyed, but the founder did not see this, having died in 1942.

Bosch Technical Achievements in the Parts Industry

In the period from 1946 to 1959, an active phase of development and production of spare parts for cars began:

• fuel pumps with electronic injection (1967);
• anti-lock braking system ABS, first installed on Mercedes-Benz (1978);
• an electronic control unit for a diesel engine (1986);
• navigation systems Blaupunkt TravelPilot (1989).

В последующие годы была существенно расширена научно-техническая база предприятия. Компания обладает передовой производственной базой, задающей вектор развития всей автомобильной отрасли. Развивает сразу ряд направлений деятельности. В совокупности за год Bosch подает на регистрацию не менее 5000 патентов по всему миру. За отчетный финансовый период вкладывается около 70 млрд. евро в разработки.

Сейчас Bosch поставляет детали для конвейеров 70% автопроизводителей мира.

The first modern successes are associated with the development of electronic stabilization ESP, gasoline direct injection system, high pressure fuel pump, adaptive cruise control, drives for the first electric vehicles that left the assembly line in 2010.

At the moment, this largest German company produces almost all groups of auto parts for cars: windshield wipers, batteries, car lamps and filters, spark plugs, brakes, drive belts. The company develops and offers electronic components and accessories, including electric motors for interiors, lighting, interior comfort control systems. The range includes petrol and diesel engines, start/stop systems for micro-hybrid vehicles, steering, starters and alternators, and dynamic safety systems.
