Bosch Company is the transliteration of the technical information in the 1990s. Now that Bosch has entered the Chinese market, its official company name should be: German Bosch Group (Robert Bosch). Robert Bosch GmbH is one of Germany's largest industrial companies, engaged in the automotive technology, industrial technology and consumer goods and construction technology industries. We now see that various automobile companies use “Bosch ABS, EBD, EFI systems, turbo pumps, etc.” in their promotions, and this is the company they are talking about.
The original electronic injection technology for automobile engines was actually just an electronic fuel injector. It did not use a computer to control the fuel injection process like the current electronic injection system. Regarding automotive electronic fuel injectors, it should be traced back to the mid-to-late 1950s. It was developed by a company called Bendix in the United States at that time, and first appeared on the first-generation Rambler Rebel model produced by AMC (American Motors Corporation) in 1957. , as a $395 optional configuration on models equipped with a 5.7 V8 engine, the maximum power of the engine is increased to 288 horsepower after adding an electronic injection device, while the carburetor version only has 255 horsepower. Although it looks good, the electronic fuel injector developed by Bendix is ??very immature, has frequent failures, and has extremely low reliability. Therefore, only a very small number of Rambler Rebel pre-production vehicles were equipped with this system, and it was not actually made available to the public in the end. It can be said to be stillborn. Bendix subsequently sold the electronic fuel injector patent to the German company Bosch.
The real EFI system is the "D-Jetronic" system launched by Bosch, which is the prototype of the modern EFI system. The D-Jetronic electronic fuel injection system was first applied to the Volkswagen Type 3 1600TL/E model launched at the end of 1967. This was also the first vehicle equipped with a practical electronic fuel injection system.
This is the origin of your question "Bosch's first electronic injection engine was installed in a Volkswagen car".
