BOSCH AUTOMOTIVE SENSORS FOR AFTERMARKET AND WORKSHOPS
07 February 2007 - Bosch
WIDEST PRODUCT RANGE
· Variety of sensors in the car has grown strongly in recent years · Bosch offers spare parts and diagnostic technology The number of sensors in cars is growing fast: even compact vehicles now
contain more than 50 individual sensors, such as the lambda sensor, and
sensor-based systems such as ESP, the electronic stability program. While
most sensors, with the exception of the lambda sensor, are not subject to
wear, they may become damaged as a result of accidents or other
influences. Lambda sensors, hot-film air-mass meters, wheel-speed sensors,
engine-speed sensors, pressure sensors, and temperature sensors in
particular play a special role in everyday workshop routine. As the
leading supplier of OE sensors, Bosch also has the widest aftermarket
product range in this area. It has the right spare parts for most of the
repairs that become necessary. In addition, Bosch can provide workshops
with the electronic diagnostic equipment that is indispensable if
defective sensors are to be identified. The Bosch sensor range includes several hundred types. The sensors based
on advanced microelectromechanical systems (MEMS) range from pressure
sensors to acceleration and yaw-rate sensors. The range of conventional
measuring devices stretches from engine-speed sensors, to hot-film air-
mass meters or lambda sensors, to sensors for automatic air conditioning
- all of them in many different designs. As a wear part, the lambda sensor has a special status among these
sensors. This is why Bosch recommends testing the lambda sensor''s
function every 30,000 kilometers and replacing it when its specified
service life expires. For the independent aftermarket, Bosch offers the
market''s widest range of lambda sensors, covering 80 percent of the
vehicles in the European market. Further information and the ''Sensors''
catalogue are available from wholesalers. The Bosch Group is a leading global manufacturer of automotive and
industrial technology, consumer goods, and building technology. In fiscal
2006, some 260,000 associates generated sales of 43.7 billion euros. Set
up in Stuttgart in 1886 by Robert Bosch (1861-1942) as ''Workshop for
Precision Mechanics and Electrical Engineering,'' the Bosch Group today
comprises a manufacturing, sales, and after-sales service network of some
300 subsidiaries and more than 13,000 Bosch service centers in over 140
countries. The special ownership structure of the Bosch Group guarantees its
financial independence and entrepreneurial freedom. It makes it possible
for the company to undertake significant up-front investments in the
safeguarding of its future, as well as to do justice to its social
responsibility in a manner reflective of the spirit and will of its
founder. A total of 92 % of the share capital of Robert Bosch GmbH is
held by the charitable foundation Robert Bosch Stiftung. The
entrepreneurial ownership functions are carried out by Robert Bosch
Industrietreuhand KG. Additional information can be accessed at www.bosch.com
