The transition to alternative mobility: Electrification with battery and fuel-cell powertrains

Bosch expects the EU’s Green Deal to provide a decisive boost to the electrification of road traffic. For electric mobility based on fuel cells, this year the supplier of technology and services will start production of fuel-cell powertrains for trucks. Bosch has once again increased its capital expenditure for mobile fuel cells, to almost one billion euros between 2021 and 2024. As Bosch currently sees it, a key technical task is to keep the powertrain, including the battery, at the right temperature and to provide the necessary climate comfort in the passenger compartment – intelligent thermal management alone can increase the electric driving range by 25 percent. To this end, Bosch has developed a pre-integrated solution: the flexible thermal unit, or FTU.
