  • “There’s a future for diesel. Soon, emissions will no longer be an issue.”

  • “Equipped with the latest Bosch technology, diesel vehicles will be classed as low-emission vehicles and yet remain affordable.”

  • “In the future, no one will be able to impose a blanket ban on diesel in cities – it will keep its place in urban traffic, too, whether for tradespeople or commuters.”

  • “Diesel can now resume its success story.”

  • “We firmly believe that the diesel engine will continue to play an important role in the options for future mobility. Until electromobility breaks through to the mass market, we will still need these highly efficient combustion engines.”

  • “For anyone with a pragmatic, non-ideological interest in improving the air in our cities, diesel engines and their further technological development will obviously be part of the solution. After this ecological rehabilitation, diesel can resume its success story.”

  • “For us, clean air in our cities, protecting the environment, and combating climate change are not distant, abstract goals, but something our engineers work hard on every single day.”

  • “We want to make driving accident-free and stress-free, but especially as emissions-free as possible – regardless of whether the vehicle consumes fuel or electricity.”

  • “Bosch has come closer to a major goal, which seemed out of reach until only recently: a combustion engine that has virtually no impact on the ambient air.”

  • “It’s not combustion engines that are being made obsolete, but rather the debate about their imminent demise.”

  • “Ascertaining consumption-dependent CO₂ emissions in real driving conditions means greater transparency for the consumer and more focused climate action.”

  • “This is the technology that Bosch stands for: ‘Invented for life,’ not for the lab.”

  • “That it’s better to drive the right diesel vehicle than the wrong electric car.”

  • “Low fuel consumption in a test bay does little to help the climate – we must make room for reality here, too.”
