The Bosch Group is pursuing a technology-neutral powertrain development roadmap. As part of a long-term strategy, the technology and services provider wants to stick to a systematic approach to attain its ambitious climate goals. To realize its ambitions, the company is focusing on activities with the potential to offer sustainable mobility. Speaking at the Automotive Component Manufacturers Association of India (ACMA) - 60th Annual Convention, averred Soumitra Bhattacharya, Managing Director, Bosch India, “Internal Combustion Engines will command 75-80 per cent of the demand by 2030 with the rest coming in from electric vehicles.” “It is important that India benchmarks itself against the best. We need to be obsessed with standards to move forward. Unfortunately with jugaad being a way of life here, the standards are low,” he quipped. Bhattacharya made a case for the Groups’ broad technology offensive that sets out both a battery-electric path to sustainable mobility but equally considers efficient combustion engines besides setting a path for renewable synthetic fuels and fuel cells.
