In many regions around the world, new environmental laws for inland and recreational boating will come into force in the coming years, promoting the use of alternative powertrain systems or even banning conventional engines altogether. “With our solutions, we offer an efficient way to meet these requirements. We are also making a valuable contribution to further reducing greenhouse gas and noise emissions in the maritime sector,” says Philipp Kurek, who is responsible for off-highway and maritime solutions at Bosch Engineering.

First real-life operation of a stationary fuel cell by Bosch and Stadtwerke Bamberg Bosch and the Bamberg public utilities are for the first time using a stationary fuel cell to produce electricity and heat in a city district.

The heat generated provides an adjacent bakery with heating and hot water. Bosch wants to invest a three-digit million euro amount in stationary fuel cells by the end of 2024.
