Is there a current example of how Bosch has made the eBike even more sustainable?

Every time we develop a new product or enhance an existing one, we look at how we can reduce the impact of our products on the environment over their entire life cycle. A major factor here is the consistent reduction in the use of materials - we always develop and design subsequent generations of our components to be smaller, more compact and lighter. By reducing the number of parts, we cut down the amount of material required: fewer raw materials are needed and the effort involved in development and production is significantly simplified. One example of this is the reduction in the weight of our drive units. The Performance Line CX in the Bosch eBike system 2 has achieved weight savings of approx. 25% compared to the previous model. By standardising our products and limiting the number of variants and parts, we can scale the manufacturing processes, leading to a reduction in the energy required per part. Further examples can be found in our packaging strategy. Since September 2020, our drives have been delivered to our customers in sustainable moulded fibre packaging. Following extensive safety testing, we were also able to eliminate the use of plastic outer packaging for our PowerTube batteries, saving about a quarter of the CO2 emissions for this packaging.
