Bosch - e-powertrain

German technology company Bosch has received a major contract from Mercedes-Benz to supply electric motors into the 2030s for the premium carmaker’s next generation of electric powertrains.

The announcement follows a strong operational period in 2025 during which Bosch secured more than 70 e-mobility customer projects globally. The supplier currently provides electric vehicle technology and solutions to more than 50 automotive manufacturers worldwide.

The e-motors are built on a scalable platform architecture, allowing the length of the motor to be adjusted depending on the required power output. This flexibility permits integration into various vehicle models and axle variants.

Bosch claims its motors achieve up to 98 percent efficiency due to updated winding technology. The units utilise an innovative rotor oil cooling system to optimise heat dissipation. The compact design combines high efficiency and optimised cooling to reduce overall weight, installation space, and system costs.

The German tier 1 supplier targets the production of more than 7 million components for electric vehicles in 2026, with an existing manufacturing rate of approximately seven electric motors per minute globally.

For the Indian market Bosch has formed a joint venture with TataAutoComp Systems to develop, commercialise and manufacture e-axles specifically for the domestic market.

In China, Bosch serves more than 30 customers, working with almost all domestic car manufacturers alongside international brands operating in the region.

The company's portfolio spans from silicon carbide chips to complete powertrain setups, including ‘X-in-1’ solutions that bundle the electric motor, power electronics, transmission and energy management into a single system.

Markus Heyn, Member of the Bosch Board of Management and Chairman of Bosch Mobility, said, “The new order reaffirms our long-standing partnership with Mercedes-Benz and shows that we can successfully contribute our expertise to technologically demanding projects as well. We win over customers with our core competence of being able to develop and manufacture complex technology in large quantities with significant economies of scale worldwide. We deliver electric-driving solutions to all markets around the world.”
