Like many of the technologies introduced in recent years, the idea of water injection isn’t new. Water injection is emerging as a possibility today due to the convergence of fuel economy requirements, the increased accessibility of direct injection technology and the need for more enrichment due to the heating caused by downsizing with turbocharging.
Bosch has awarded its third round of energy research grants, which total $1.7 million, and sponsored 15 interns in the area of energy for 2015-’16.

A driver’s foot is responsible for one-quarter of fuel consumption, according to Bosch. Until now, the only thing that could be done about this rule of thumb was to drive gently and take eco-driving courses. Now, however, Bosch has developed a technical aid in the shape of the “active” gas pedal: its gentle vibration tells drivers when they have crossed the line from light touch to lead foot.
Both decisions – NHTSA enhancing its New Car Assessment Program (NCAP), and the DOT initiatives that encourage investment in automated and connected vehicle pilot projects while removing potential roadblocks to the integration of automotive technology that can improve safety, mobility and sustainability – support Bosch’s goal of completely eradicating road accidents, the company says.
The steady increase in comfort and safety features on today’s vehicles, combined with more sophisticated driving systems, has created an exponential surge in the demand for power to support them.
