Shaping a new era of mobility - safe, sustainable and exciting.

In 1906, one advertisement for magneto ignition systems in U.S. newspapers generated $1 million worth of orders for Bosch, doubling sales within one year. Business in the United States was so successful that, in 1912, Bosch started manufacturing its star product in a factory of its own in Springfield, Massachusetts. Today, the North American market is a key player in shaping the future of mobility in areas such as electrification, automated driving, and vehicle sharing. Bosch continues its rich history in the North American market with a strong global point of view.
