Never built a car, but it controls the lifeblood of countless car companies. What makes Bosch a legendary company?

Nowadays, automobile manufacturing adopts the strategy of global procurement, because many suppliers have better parts performance and lower costs. Among these auto parts suppliers, Bosch is definitely a big shot. The founder of Bosch Company is robert bosch. He came from a good family when he was a child. His parents own a farm and a hotel, and he is a standard rich second generation. Under the supervision of his father, Robert was sent to school and became a student of precision machinery. 1886, 25-year-old Robert founded the precision machinery and electrical engineering workshop, which opened his great road to entrepreneurship.

At first, the company could only make a living by installing a telephone system and an electric bell, until a customer asked him to invent a magneto-electric ignition device to fix the intraocular machine. After hard work, Robert finally invented this device, which is the earliest spark plug. This invention changed the history of people starting cars by hand. Bosch officially entered the automobile circle. Through the monopoly of this technology, a large number of orders were obtained and the company began to develop rapidly. Therefore, Bosch's logo evolved from the cross section of the ignition device and has been in use ever since.

Subsequently, with the growing automobile market, Bosch began to focus on the automobile field, and successively introduced automobile horns, automobile lighting systems, battery ignition devices, diesel injection technology and so on. In the early stage of semiconductor development, Bosch began to develop and manufacture integrated circuits and automotive electronic components, and applied for many invention patents, which also made Bosch break away from competitors and become a top automotive supplier.

Later, when World War II broke out, Bosch was forced to sign a contract for weapons and equipment, and the money earned from making weapons was also donated by Robert to charity. After World War II, everything was in a hurry, and the electric tools developed by Bosch became a sharp weapon for people to rebuild their homes. In addition to power tools, Bosch is also involved in the home appliance industry. 197 in the sixth year, Bosch Household Appliances Co., Ltd. was established with Siemens, which was launched in October14, but Bosch Household Appliances still retained the brand of Siemens Household Appliances. Later, Bosch Company invented two very important devices in the automobile field, ABS and ESP. From concept to mass production, Bosch spent nine years researching and developing ABS, and the electronic stability system ESP was also the first one developed and produced by Bosch.

These two automotive technologies are absolutely milestones of automotive technology, and they have saved countless lives. Although Bosch has made outstanding contributions to the automobile industry, it has also made a lot of money. At that time, ABS system was not sold to domestic independent car companies in 800 yuan, but the retail price was thousands. At that time, BYD was so angry that it developed its own ABS system. Bosch immediately sold it at the cost price to suppress BYD, which is also Bosch's usual means. Without me, you will monopolize at a high price. Bosch has a consistent attitude not only to China, but also to car companies all over the world.

For example, a few years ago, Bosch and BMW were unhappy, and Bosch directly stopped supplying BMW, resulting in a loss of up to 1 100 million yuan a day. So in the automobile industry, Bosch is like a parent. There are many children down there. Whoever listens will have more delicious food, and whoever doesn't listen will starve. With many patented technologies, Bosch's every move can affect the development of the entire automobile industry.
