The joint venture, called Bosch Emission Systems GmbH & Co. KG, will use the core exhaust aftertreatment competencies of the three companies involved and, on the basis of a modular principle, to offer complete system solutions for construction and agricultural machinery, as well as for commercial vehicles.
These complete systems will include electronic control and, if required, also optimized burner technology for the regeneration of diesel particulate filters.
The new company is to start operations in January 2010 and series production will likely start in the third quarter of the year.
“We want to establish Bosch Emission Systems in the global market as a technologically leading supplier of complete diesel exhaust aftertreatment systems,” says Dr. Gerhard Turner, president of the Bosch Diesel Systems division.
