This development is particularly significant for the commercial vehicle (CV) sector, where affordable green hydrogen could accelerate the adoption of hydrogen-powered vehicles, especially in long-haul transport.

This initiative underscores Bosch's commitment to fostering technological innovation, particularly in areas such as energy efficiency, artificial intelligence (AI), automation, climate technologies, and healthcare systems.

Programme aims to accelerate adoption of battery-powered CVs.

This leap in manufacturing speed and precision enables Bosch to produce intricate parts such as electric motor housings, e-axle components, and hydrogen system elements with unprecedented efficiency.​

Specifically, this partnership focuses on the development and production of catalyst-coated membranes (CCMs) for fuel cell stacks. JM's high-performance CCMs will be integrated into Bosch's fuel cell power modules, designed for commercial vehicles.

Bosch announced its decision to discontinue collaboration on solid oxide fuel cell (SOFC) technologies with Ceres and to consider selling its 17.44% stake in the company which led to a sharp decline in the British firm's share price.

The EM-H mechatronic regulator is designed to manage and calibrate hydrogen delivery pressure with high accuracy and efficiency for use in hydrogen-powered internal combustion engines (ICEs), particularly in commercial vehicles.

JMCG, headquartered in Nanchang in China’s Jiangxi province, mainly operates in the commercial vehicle segment, producing a wide range of light-duty trucks and buses - including pickup trucks under the JMC brand.

New plants are expected to enhance Bosch’s components position in the country’s rapidly expanding new energy vehicle (NEV) supply chain.

With the Eclipse CANought project, the partners hope to advance the development of software-defined vehicles by making it easier for commercial vehicles to receive updates over the air.

2023 saw the company planned to invest USD 530 million in the development of hydrogen technologies to create a complete hydrogen value chain from the production, distribution (storage tanks), consumption (hydrogen engines) and management (telematics) of green hydrogen at scale.

There was plenty to report from the 2024 edition of the Advanced Clean Transportation (ACT) Expo held at the Las Vegas Convention Center between May 20-23.
