Bosch and Volkswagen Signed an Agreement to Develop Projects Focused on Clean, Safe, Connected, and Advanced Mobility in Latin America.

Volkswagen do Brasil and Bosch established a new partnership on Thursday (9) with the aim of developing projects related to driver assistance and powertrain systems in Latin America. Thus, the two companies hope to expand innovations for emerging markets that contribute to lower carbon emissions and energy efficiency in mobility, as well as road safety.

Bosch and VW Projects Aim to Improve Biocombustible-Powered Combustion Engines

Gastón Díaz Pérez, president of Bosch for the continent, and Pablo di Si, executive of Volkswagen in Latin America, formalized the partnership during an event at Bosch’s headquarters in Campinas (SP). The projects in Latin America integrate solutions for enhancing performance and efficiency of combustion engines powered by biobased fuels, such as ethanol, for instance, aimed at reducing pollutant emissions.

According to Di Si, in a statement to the press, everyone is focused and immersed in bringing consistent and innovative projects to Volkswagen that significantly contribute to the Way To Zero strategy in the region, across all areas of the company.

According to the companies, another focus will be the combination of electric-hybrid solutions with biobased fuel systems. The partnership aims to encourage energy generation through connectivity, something Volkswagen implements with the “Abasteça Consciente” feature available in the German automaker’s app. Regarding safety, the companies will work to improve sensors and identify characteristics of traffic scenarios in Latin America to adapt driving assistance and braking systems.

The intent is to refine energy recovery and fuel economy. According to Díaz Pérez, also in a statement, the partnership with Volkswagen aligns with the company’s purpose of technology for life, making mobility safer, cleaner, more economical, and connected.

The partnership will unite innovation and technology, strengthening the companies’ commitment to vehicle safety and decarbonization in Latin America.

Earlier this year, Volkswagen announced that it will have a dedicated company for the development of batteries for electric cars and also said that this will be done in partnership with Bosch.

The goal is to combine efforts to develop a project unit and explore the possibilities of industrial-scale solutions for battery production in Europe, that is, to install a super factory of batteries to meet the continent’s demands.

At the time, Volkswagen Group’s Board Member Thomas Schmall stated that Europe has everything to become a global powerhouse in the production and commercialization of batteries for electric vehicles. The estimate is that annual capacity could reach 700 GWh by the next decade.

According to the president of Bosch’s Executive Board, Rolf Najork, his company has many prerequisites to contribute to the partnership and mentioned the more than 135 years of experience the company has in the sector, and this is what he intends to offer to the Volkswagen Group to bring the project of the super factory to fruition by the end of this year at the latest.

While in Brazil a 10-story building takes 2 years to complete, in China a company stacks pre-fabricated modules and raises the entire building in just 28 hours and 45 minutes.

The oldest tree in the world, alive since before the birth of Jesus Christ, is cut down in a scientific study and the case changes environmental preservation rules.

An entire island in the Pacific wants to surround itself with a colossal barrier against the ocean to try to escape increasingly violent waves and not be swallowed by the sea in the coming decades.

After ten days orbiting the Moon, science confirms that the astronauts of the Artemis II mission return with altered bodies.

Peru built a tunnel at an altitude of 4,738 meters cutting through the Andes Mountains, and the road leading to it reaches 4,818 meters, making it the highest paved road in the entire world.

Seen from space, an image taken by an astronaut shows in Argentine Patagonia the exact point where a colossal glacier, a turquoise-blue lake, and a greenish arm of water meet, creating one of the rarest and most impressive landscapes in the region.

In the Saudi Arabian desert, the world’s largest green hydrogen plant is 80% complete and will use 4 gigawatts of solar and wind energy to produce 600 tons of clean fuel per day when it opens in 2027.

India has connected for the first time a nuclear reactor that generates more fuel than it consumes — it produces 500 MW, cost nearly $1 billion, took 22 years, and places the country among the few with this technology in the world.

Suape Port is receiving R$ 15.8 billion to become the largest green hydrogen hub in Latin America — and a partnership with China promises an additional R$ 8 billion.

Petrobras robots dove nearly 3,000 meters deep and 201 km off the coast of Rio de Janeiro confirmed what geologists suspected — there is more oil hidden in the pre-salt of Campos.

For the first time in history, an allied nuclear submarine launched and recovered an American drone underwater without surfacing — and the test changes underwater warfare forever.

The first automaker in the world to promise 1,000 real kilometers with a solid-state battery already has a production line set up, 50 cars in operation, and a date set for September 2026.
