Plochingen – Vehicle manufacturers increasingly use 48-volt on-board electrical systems - mostly for recuperation. This poses a growing challenge for workshops willing to perform vehicle system analyses. Besides measurements on 12-volt systems, there is also a growing demand for tests and analyses of 48-volt systems. By means of the technically enhanced FSA 7-series vehicle system analysis, Bosch now presents a measurement system including test routines for 48-volt on-board systems as well. Besides conventional components of 12-volt on-board electrical systems, it also allows workshops to test 48-volt systems and their components. Special test instructions and matching measurement technologies allow faster troubleshooting thus increasing the efficiency of workshop routines. Concomitantly with this technical revision, Bosch also developed a new and more user-friendly trolley for the FSA 7-series devices for vehicle system analyses and BEA 950 for emission analysis.
