Bosch IAA Transportation 2026 to Showcase New EV Technologies

Bosch Showcases New Electric Commercial Vehicle Technologies

On September 2, Bosch announced that it will showcase several new technologies for electric commercial vehicles and off-highway applications at IAA Transportation 2026. The company will present a new high-voltage fan module designed specifically for 800-volt architectures, alongside its Rigid eAxle, which integrates key components of the electric powertrain. Bosch will also highlight fuel cell solutions for buses and trucks and hydrogen engines as alternative drive systems. The planned technology lineup demonstrates the company’s focus on electric, hydrogen, and integrated powertrain solutions for commercial and off-highway vehicles.

Safety and Radar Technology Advancements

For vehicle safety, Bosch will present integrated drowsiness detection in the side mirror, the Bosch MPC4 multifunction camera, and Connected Map Services. The company is also preparing its Generation 7 radar sensor for introduction in 2027. The sensor uses waveguide antenna technology and a system-on-chip (SoC) manufactured in-house. These technologies are intended to support increasingly sophisticated vehicle sensing and safety functions while advancing Bosch’s radar capabilities for future vehicle platforms and applications.

Scalable Vehicle Computing and Software Architecture

Bosch is developing central E/E architectures built around powerful and scalable vehicle computers. The approach is designed to provide a centralized foundation for managing increasingly complex vehicle functions and electronic systems. Bosch subsidiary ETAS is contributing through its Vehicle Software Platform Suite, which provides a stable and secure foundation for the efficient development and management of scalable vehicle software. Together, these developments reflect the growing importance of centralized computing and software architectures in commercial vehicles as manufacturers integrate more electronic, connected, and software-driven functions.

Advanced Steering and Occupant Safety Systems

At IAA Transportation 2026, Bosch will also present several steering and occupant safety technologies. The portfolio includes ServoE, an all-electric steering system, and Servotwin, an electro-hydraulic steering system developed for heavy commercial vehicles. Bosch will further showcase rear axle steering designed to provide a smaller turning circle and a compact, low-friction steering shaft. Its airbag control units will also be presented as solutions for enhanced occupant safety, extending the company’s technology portfolio across steering, maneuverability, and vehicle protection systems.
