Shaping mobility and setting technology trends

Modern-day motor vehicles have little in common with the “Benz Patent Motor Car, model no. 1” of 1886 – this being a three-wheeler, not even the number of wheels is the same. Driver assistance systems, new drive types, connectivity, and automation have made driving safer and more comfortable. Accordingly, the expectations that car owners have of workshops have changed. The Bosch Car Service workshops aspire not only to living up to their demands, but actually to preempting them.

“Bosch is at home in the future and the company plays an important part in determining the direction in which automotive technology develops,” says Thomas Winter, Head of Automotive Franchise Concepts at Bosch Automotive Aftermarket. From the first magneto ignition to artificial intelligence (AI) as the basis for autonomous driving, the industry leader Bosch has always been fully committed to advancing the development of mobility.

In its mobility division, Bosch has some 14,000 software developers working and invests three billion euros per annum in software development. Founded 2017, Bosch has its own Center for Artificial Intelligence as a competence center with a total of seven locations, which are located in Germany, the USA, China, India and Israel. And with 4,202 patents registered globally, Bosch was once again at the top of the automotive industry’s innovations list in 2020.

Managing the present, anticipating the future

Be it for the internal combustion engine, a hybrid or an electric drive, intelligent online training concepts and practical training allow the employees of Bosch Car Service workshops to quickly familiarize themselves with and implement trends in the areas of diagnostics, servicing, and repairs.

“As a cooperative partner, we invest both in developing new products and in the qualifications of those who will be working with them,” explains Thomas Winter. “Bosch Car Service partners do not have to wait for a technology to make it to market. Our aim is for the expertise and service at the Bosch Car Service workshops around the world to not only be of the same level, but also at the very latest level.”

Incorporating innovations and preserving the tried and true

The Bosch Car Service portfolio is continuously being expanded with the addition of mobility trends such as e-mobility, autonomous driving, and sharing concepts. Cutting-edge workshop software and online service bookings take customer service and workshop management to the next level. The wrench used in workshops back in 1921 is not obsolete (just yet), but new forms of diagnostics, servicing, and repairs have long since been made possible at the Bosch Car Service workshops by online data updates and the Internet of Things (IoT). But the passion that the Bosch Car Service staff feel for their customers and the vehicles will remain unchanged, as will their desire to deliver quality, reliability, and fairness.
