Bosch Heavy Duty Batteries

Bosch has introduced a brand-new heavy duty battery program, with twelve new SKUs. Included in the line are T6 high-performance AGM batteries, which deliver the latest technology to meet the increased demands of today’s commercial vehicles. Additionally, T5 dual purpose performance batteries, which provide dependable power to heavy duty vehicles under extreme conditions; and T4 quality performance batteries, which offer a reliable, long service life for commercial vehicles, are included.

The new heavy duty battery SKUs offer universal coverage for all heavy duty vehicles. Five SKUs cover long-haul trucks with sleeper cabs, distribution trucks with tail lifts, fire-fighting vehicles, construction machinery, off-road trucks, coaches and buses, and municipal vehicles with a high rate of city traffic. Seven SKUs cover construction machines and off-road vehicles, and applications requiring a high level of power for starting.

Bosch heavy duty batteries are 100% maintenance free, and offer dependable power in extreme conditions.

Bosch QuietCast Disc Brake Pads

One new Bosch QuietCast™ Brake Pad set is now available, covering 6,000 units in operation in the U.S. That part number covers the 2012-2013 Freightliner Sprinter 3500 and 2013-2015 Mercedes-Benz Sprinter 3500.

All Bosch premium QuietCast Disc Brake Pads feature friction formulas specific to the application – semi-metallic, NAO or copper-free ceramic – and include synthetic lubricant with all applications.

Bosch Blue Disc Brake Pads

Bosch Blue Brake Pads feature OE-style, multi-layer shims that provide superior noise dampening characteristics. They’re designed to deliver quality and performance and are ideal for the shop owner who is a “generalist” and is looking to provide customers with the best value. Bosch Blue Brake Pads come towel-wrapped on select applications for added protection and value. The material used is similar to the shop towels that technicians use on a daily basis when working on their customers’ vehicles.

One new Bosch Blue Brake Pad set SKU has been added, covering 224,000 units in operation. The part number covers models including the 2011 Mercedes-Benz G55 AMG, 2013-2015 Mercedes-Benz G63 AMG, 2007-2009 Mercedes-Benz GL320, and more.

In 2016, Bosch is celebrating a dual milestone in oxygen sensors: the 40th anniversary of its invention of the automotive oxygen sensor, and the production of its one billionth oxygen sensor. An integral part of today’s sophisticated vehicles, automotive oxygen sensors are now a standard feature on all gasoline and most diesel engines worldwide.

Rotating Machines

The Bosch Rotating Machines group has added twelve new SKUs for remanufactured alternators and starters, covering late-model Asian and Domestic vehicles that are coming out of their warranty periods and are prime candidates for service in the aftermarket.
