Karlsruhe, Germany – Today’s vehicles are equipped with a large number of sensors. Depending on the make and model, up to 50 sensors are required for intelligent engine and transmission management alone. These sensors significantly influence engine performance, efficiency, and emissions – making it all the more important to replace defective sensors immediately. This has now prompted Bosch to greatly expand its range of engine-management sensors – following a similar move for exhaust-gas temperature sensors. Before the year is out, workshops will be able to access more than 100 new sensor types, complementing the existing range of over 1,000 engine management sensors. They include speed sensors, such as crankshaft and camshaft sensors, as well as intake and boost-pressure sensors. As a result, Bosch’s aftermarket program for speed and pressure sensors will cover up to 75 percent of the market in Europe. The extended range of engine-management sensors includes all European manufacturers as well as most Asian ones. Workshops can also access the broad Bosch portfolio of hot-film air-mass meters, temperature sensors, knock sensors, and other pressure sensors for passenger cars and commercial vehicles featuring diesel, gasoline, and hybrid powertrains.
