Automotive Technology/Starter Motors and Generators 21

For passenger cars, the division has the right generator with
increased efficiency for every kind that offers unfailing supply of
energy, suited to the power-output requirements of the electrical
systems. Generators are suited to specific needs, such as small
cars with low electrical energy requirements or for mid-class
/upper-class cars which have a range of safety and comfort
functions. For commercial vehicles, the generators have high
density of performance, especially useful in road haulage
conditions and off-highway sector where safety and comfort are
prime concerns.
The innovative Start/Stop starter motors are advanced, costeffective, fuel-saving and particularly efficient in the stop-and-go
conditions of dense urban traffic. The New Base Line Generator
for passenger cars is an ongoing success which led to new
customer acquisitions and helped generate good export volume.
This has further strengthened business leading to expansion to a
second manufacturing location of the new Starters.

Corporate Social
Responsibility (CSR)
Invented for life. Its not just the Bosch slogan, its a commitment.
A pledge that our actions in the present and the future are socially
sustainable and impactful. Since the companys inception, and true
to the vision of its founder Robert Bosch, the Group has constantly
been engaged in activities that create a sustainable impact. Through
the development of sophisticated technologies and solutions,
which are directed towards improvement of life, conservation of
resources and the environment, and upliftment of the less
privileged, Bosch has worked ceaselessly towards creating a
multiplier effect.
Drawing from the approach of its parent company in Germany,
over the past 60 years Bosch in India has created a space for itself
in the society not just as a technology and innovation pioneer,
but also as a company that cares. The company has always been
committed to the progress and nurturing of its associates and
society at large. To that end, the introduction of several associate
and community welfare programs at Bosch India, underline the
companys commitment to create sustainable impact.
By choosing to focus its Corporate Social Responsibility (CSR)
activities on principle areas such as health & hygiene, vocational
training and community development, Bosch in India is reinforcing
its commitment towards creating a sustainable impact. Interrelated,
these focus areas reinforce each other in practice.
For some years, the need had been felt to take the companys social
engagement program to the next level. To realize this vision, a
steering committee has been formed, comprising of six senior
Bosch executives from business divisions, plant and corporate
functions, who strongly believe in the cause. These steps intend to
take the companys social engagement initiatives to a higher level of
performance that enable integrated and sustainable social impact.
The committee will also help create self-sustaining scalable programs
that have a multiplier effect, while it also facilitates in the execution
of Bosch Limiteds long-term societal engagement and creating
national storylines.
