With the full implementation of China's National III emission standards and the upcoming enforcement of National IV, the demand for electronically controlled common rail systems that meet these and higher emission requirements is growing rapidly in the commercial diesel engine market. This shift has created a significant opportunity for companies like Bosch to expand their presence in the region. Bosch recently announced a 200 million euro investment over the next three years to increase production capacity at its Wuxi plant, aiming to capture a larger share of this expanding market. Currently, Bosch holds around 60% of the high-pressure common rail system market in China. However, it faces competition from global players such as Delphi, Cummins, and Denso, as well as domestic alternatives like the "electronically controlled inline pump + EGR" technology. To stay competitive, Bosch’s investment will also focus on localization and the development of cost-effective common rail systems, helping to lower prices and address concerns about market dominance. This strategy not only helps counter low-cost alternatives but also strengthens trust among Chinese manufacturers. From 2008 to 2010, Bosch plans to invest 850 million euros in China, with a quarter allocated to diesel systems. The Wuxi plant aims to boost output from 100,000 units in 2007 to 1.4 million by 2010. By 2009, the workforce in Wuxi is expected to double to 3,900 employees. In the first nine months of 2008, Bosch sold approximately 440,000 common rail systems in China—highlighting the scale of its operations. China remains a key market for Bosch, with sales expected to reach 2.3 billion euros in 2008, marking four consecutive years of 30% growth. Asia Pacific currently accounts for one-sixth of Bosch’s global revenue, with a target of reaching one-quarter by 2015. China’s auto engine industry still lacks the expertise to develop high-pressure common rail systems independently. With emissions standards advancing faster than local capabilities, foreign technology adoption has become a practical solution. Companies like Huatai, Chery, and Great Wall have partnered with Bosch to integrate its common rail systems into their engines. Franz Ferenbach, CEO of Bosch, emphasized that without China’s growth, the company would struggle to meet its global targets. In recent years, Bosch has expanded into the low-cost segment, particularly in emerging markets like China. A low-cost engine control system developed for budget cars is already being used in Tata’s Nano model in India. Localization efforts are crucial for reducing costs. With competition intensifying from both international rivals and local firms, Bosch is accelerating its localization strategy to cut prices. For example, heavy-duty truck common rail systems have seen a 20% price drop since 2007, with further reductions possible. Bosch has launched an economical common rail product priced between 5,000 and 6,000 RMB for light commercial vehicles under 3.5 tons, meeting the new National III regulations. It also plans to introduce a low-cost system for heavy trucks by year-end, ensuring quality remains unchanged while offering more affordable options. The expansion of common rail systems is closely tied to ongoing technical debates in China’s heavy truck market. While most domestic manufacturers have adopted common rail as the main route for upgrading to National III, companies like Sinotruk have successfully used “electronically controlled inline pump + EGR” technology, which is cheaper and has gained strong market traction. Despite being considered a non-mainstream approach, EGR technology has proven popular, with Sinotruk reporting a 50% year-on-year increase in heavy truck sales. Other companies, including Weichai and Yuchai, are now exploring similar technologies. Bosch maintains that common rail systems offer better scalability for future emission standards and require fewer engine modifications. Globally, the majority of Euro III diesel engines use common rail technology, both for passenger and commercial vehicles. As China continues to tighten emissions regulations, the role of advanced technologies like common rail is set to grow even further.
