Bosch will decide on battery cell production by year-end
Welt am Sonntag
German automotive component supplier Bosch will decide on whether to start its own battery cell production around the end of 2017 or beginning of 2018, Bosch’s chairman of the board of management Volkmar Denner told the Welt am Sonntag in an interview. Bosch faces strong competition in Asia and needs to find a “disruptive approach” in manufacturing technology, said Denner. If diesel sales continue to decline, Denner expects a shift towards petrol engines, because “for people, e-mobility is not a real alternative yet.”
