Product highlight for ASEAN

Mobility has been key to progress for centuries. But as a technology provider our defining moment will be when we can move goods and people in the fastest yet most efficient way.

Dynamic, safe, connected, and customizable: these are the key requirements when it comes to the best riding experience with two-wheeler vehicles. With innovative technology and smart software, Bosch offers all-in-one connectivity solutions, rider assistance, powertrain and personalized mobility from a single source.

Take a look at some of our solutions we offer, mainly for the ASEAN market.

Electric powertrain solution:

_{Efficient, dynamic, flexible urban electromobility}

Solutions for all performance classes from 0.4 W – 4 kW: with its drive and drive control units for light electric vehicles, Bosch creates the technical basis for a safe and efficient riding experience. Bundled as a drive system, the optimally coordinated interaction of both components ensures precise motor management, reliable vehicle performance, and impressive torque development. The components can be easily integrated into different vehicle configurations and offer a cost-attractive electric drive solution.

Engine Management Systems

_{Efficient, powerful, internal combustion engine}

Electronic engine management systems are the core of efficient technology which allows two-wheelers and powersports vehicles to fulfil new emission regulations. Bosch offers the full range of engine management systems' technologies specially designed for two-wheelers. This includes components for fuel injection and supply, air management, ignition, and exhaust-gas treatment as well as engine control units.

Safety and Assistance systems

_{Wheel locking prevention, stability, deceleration, and safer braking}

Motorcycle ABS: The modular and scalable motorcycle ABS (antilock braking system) was especially designed for the braking characteristics of two-wheelers and can be adapted to a wide range of models from small bikes to high-performance bikes. It supports the rider while braking, even in case of hard braking or on slippery roads. It prevents wheel lockup, ensures vehicle stability and optimal deceleration while braking. Motorcycle ABS therefore contributes to reducing the risk of falling and to shortening the stopping distance

Local Manufacturing

To meet the increasing demand for safety systems in the Asian market, Bosch plans to start production of motorcycle ABS at its Amata plant in Rayong, Thailand, in the second quarter of 2022. The Amata plant will be Bosch's third manufacturing site for motorcycle ABS in the world. This global manufacturing network allows Bosch to support global two-wheeler manufacturers' efforts to optimize their supply chains. "With ABS10 light and base, we provide dedicated safety systems for the small commuter scooters and motorcycles that represent a major mode of transportation in ASEAN. Our customers will benefit from local production at an established plant that already has experience of producing four-wheeler ABS systems," says Geoff Liersch, president of the Two-Wheeler & Powersports business unit at Bosch.

Bosch plant at WHA Industrial Estate (Hemaraj)

The second plant of Bosch Mobility Solutions in Thailand is located at WHA Industrial Estate (opened in 2017). This is the first Bosch smart factory in the region, focused heavily on connected manufacturing using high-tech manufacturing processes together with Bosch Industry 4.0 (I4.0) solutions. Being the worldwide R&D center for fuel injectors for small engine application like two-wheelers, this plant supports the growing popularity of two-wheeler segment. The fuel injectors along with connectors are being manufactured here in this location for motorcycles, scooters and powersports. The works done here support sustainable mobility in ASEAN region and worldwide.
