In order to take full credit of this opportunity, Bosch has appointed 250 engineers for hybrid development. He has also assigned them task for creating modular components. Thus, other automakers can also buy them. This hybrid system from Bosch is created as generator module. It can be easily attached with the transmissions. Thus, it is unique from the current crop of hybrid systems, as they are already incorporated in the transmission.
In order to create efficient dual clutch transmissions, Bosch is also joining hands with transmission developers. Bosch also made significant announcements regarding customer deals for gas and diesel hybrids.
