Presentation of project content:
E-mobility from Miskolc – Robert Bosch Energy and Body Systems Ltd., together with its consortium partners, is implementing a winning project on the further development of a cooling water circulating pump and engine cooling fan to meet the higher quality requirements expected in electric vehicles.
The technical solutions implemented during the project will greatly improve the quality of Bosch products and broaden their range of applications, ensuring Bosch’s competitiveness in the long term. The engineers involved in the project, working together with the University of Miskolc and Bay Zoltán Applied Research Non-profit Ltd, will develop their professional competence and product knowledge to help Bosch make a positive decision on the local production of further Bosch driver pumps and engine cooling fans programmes, thanks to the high level of local engineering support for series production.
A major contribution to increasing Bosch’s global market share will be made by the improved circulating pump and fan units that can be installed in electric vehicles, based on the research carried out during the project, to meet the requirements of these types of vehicles to the maximum. An indirect contribution to the success of increasing Bosch’s market share will be the reduction of lead times for the life cycle tests, also developed under the call for proposals, and the theoretical models that predict real life cycle based on these tests. The solutions developed will reduce the cost and lead time of product validation, thus increasing the company’s competitiveness.
Through the above, the development project will contribute significantly to the transformation of Hungary, and within it Miskolc and its region, from a low-cost production centre to a global Lead Plant of Bosch Miskolc, a centre for the production of high value-added products and research and development activities.
The project is implemented under the Széchenyi 2020 programme.
