- Custom systems development for electric sports sedan
- Development of on-board communications systems and energy management system
- Planned development of the electronic systems and control system for the nanoFLOWCELL storage technology through to series production approval
Bosch Engineering GmbH is systems development partner to nanoFLOWCELL AG for the development of the QUANT e-Sportlimousine electric sports sedan.
The wholly-owned Bosch subsidiary’s key task is to design the powertrain system for this prototype four-seater sports car, with the development work focused on system integration, energy management, and the control system for high-voltage and low-voltage components. Bosch Engineering is applying its expert understanding of the interrelationships between drive system, chassis, and multimedia to develop a vehicle system architecture that is tailored to this electrically powered sports sedan. This includes designing a complete on-board communication system to guarantee high-performance, fail-safe data communication between vehicle systems and components.
Bosch Engineering is also responsible for developing the vehicle control unit for energy management, the antilock braking system, the instrument cluster, and the body computer for managing the central vehicle electrical system. Bosch Engineering specializes in meeting the unique requirements of small-scale series and high-performance vehicles, drawing on components and systems taken from Bosch large-scale automotive series production as part of its solutions. The company’s engineers and developers are collaborating closely with nanoFLOWCELL AG in flexible project teams to develop new functions and to design electronic systems tailored to the requirements of an electrically powered sports sedan. This entails integrating all electric and electronic components into a single high-performance, fail-safe system. The aim is to work with the research and development center based in Liechtenstein on further developing the vehicle systems for the QUANT as well as the control system for its storage technology.
Using Bosch know-how to meet the unique requirements of ambitious projects
As a development partner, Bosch Engineering GmbH, based in Abstatt, Germany, uses its systems know-how to take proven Bosch technology from large-scale series production and adapt it to small-scale series and prototypes. It focuses its activities on developing solutions that work across different systems. Bosch Engineering’s development and application experts support their customers all the way from developing concepts to approving series production for project volumes of all sizes. “We specialize in ambitious projects with special challenges. Our work takes Bosch automotive innovations from series production and applies them to small-scale series production. Everything we do is focused on the needs of our customers. Our fast, flexible development teams design and develop tailor-made, networked electronic systems for unique vehicles,” explains Bernhard Bihr, President of Bosch Engineering GmbH in describing the Bosch subsidiary’s activities.
