The move underscores Bosch’s aim to be a leader in electromobility. “Bosch is the go-to partner for electric driving, a position that is now also reflected in our status as an official Formula E partner,” says Dr. Markus Heyn, a member of the board of management of Robert Bosch GmbH.

I couldn’t think of a more natural tie-up – with Bosch’s long-standing tradition of competing in motorsport and expertise in electrification, automation and connectivity. In my mind, these pillars are key to the future of urban mobility and together with our complete roster of partners we can collectively help to speed up the switch to electric.”
