In a Move Contrary to Ford and Chevrolet, the Multinational Auto Parts Manufacturer Bosch Decided to Bring Its Production from the USA to Brazil
The German multinational auto parts manufacturer Bosch went against the trend of automakers Ford, Chevrolet, Honda, Audi (Volkswagen), Scania, Volvo, and Mercedes-Benz, Nissan, and Renault, which decided to withdraw or reduce production in Brazil, and brought to Brazil the production of injectors and injector nozzles for trucks that were produced in its factories in the United States, thereby expanding the diesel injection systems division at its Curitiba factory.
Moreover, the intention of the German multinational is to supply not only the domestic market but also to export a significant amount – which may reach up to half of production.
