Bosch Power Tools is opening up its 18 V battery platform for other professional brands, thereby revolutionizing the cordless segment for professional users. “We give tradespeople tools in their hands that make them achieve the best results faster, easier, cheaper and safer,” said Lennart de Vet, Managing Director of Robert Bosch Power Tools GmbH, responsible for Bosch Professional. The focus is on efficiency and effectiveness. Opening up the 18 V battery platform will offer professional users significant added value: Through its partnership with Brennenstuhl, Sulzer, Klauke, Ledlenser, Lena Lighting, Sonlux and Wagner ‒ all experts in their fields ‒ Bosch offers an even wider application range and even more flexibility in the use of specialized products such as floodlights, caulking guns, cordless hydraulic cutting tools and paint spraying systems. More manufacturers will follow. From now on, professionals just need to take one battery and one charger with them ‒ this saves time, space and money. A pile of incompatible batteries and chargers will therefore be a thing of the past. “Opening up the Professional 18V System is the prelude of a worldwide partnership with strong expert brands. The common goal is to offer professional users the best 18 V system across many brands and countries ‒ and thus giving them a further boost in efficiency,” said Lennart de Vet.
