Dear Reader
In Western Europe, diesels have long been a success story. More than
50 percent of all new passenger cars sold here are now diesels, and in
many countries that proportion is over 70 percent.
And for good reasons: diesel engines offer considerable savings in fuel
consumption and their high torque provides a noticeably enhanced per-
formance. This delights the driver as much as it benefits the environment.
Reducing CO emissions by a quarter lightens the load for all of us.
You profit from the benefits of diesel even if you do not drive one your-
self. Think about all the diesel vans, trucks, construction and agricultural
vehicles around you. Everywhere, diesels are doing their jobs reliably
and economically.
At Bosch Diesel Systems, we are continuously improving diesels, making
them more economical, more powerful and environmentally friendly.
A diesel hybrid, for example, combines the benefits of the diesels reduced
fuel consumption and CO emissions with the advantages of electric drive.
Modern exhaust-gas treatment reduces emissions to a minimum and
makes diesels clean.
On the following pages, you will find some interesting facts about diesel.
As you will see, you are more involved with todays diesel and our future
with Clean Diesel than you might think.

Will dieselsave the world?
Answering this question with yes might perhaps be an overstate-
ment; yet, diesel does offer solutions to problems which plague
politicians, societies and economies the world over. The important
questions of our day and age such as climate protection, the finite
nature of fossil fuels or globalization and its co nsequences each
raise countless challenges. Challenges which at first sight seem
unconnected with diesel. But it is well worth taking a second look,
as you will now see for yourself.

CleanThe big bangcreatedby modern compressionignition
The Common Rail System, put into serial production by Bosch
in 1997, marks the moment that the modern diesel powertrain
came to be as we know it today. Imagine the weight of a 2,000-kilo
rhinoceros standing on your fingernail. This ought to give you a
clear impression, in the truest sense of the word, of the pressure
to which the system compresses the fuel before injecting it at
a supersonic speed into the combustion chamber as a finely dis-
tributed spray, thus ensuring particularly clean and economical
combustion combined with a maximum amount of driving fun.

Tomorrows solutionswill not prevent the COemissions of today
Electromobility is the way of the future. But when exactly will that
future begin? The internal combustion engine will dominate for the
next 20 years at least. Therefore, anyone who wants to improve our
carbon footprint today can only achieve this with combustion engines,
which is where diesel vehicles come into play because they emit
around 25 percent less CO than a comparable gasoline model.
Thus, the CO emissions of a diesel today are already at the same
level as those of gasoline hybrids. The technology needed to achieve
this is also comparatively less complex.

That which is good can always be better. This means that the diesel
vehicles of 2020 will co nsume around a third less fuel and emit a
third less CO than today. This will depend on measures such as
start/stop systems and downsizing just as much as it will on low-
friction tires, lightweight construction and the reduced atmospheric
resistance of the vehicles. All in all, this means that diesels will
certainly be able to fall below the future limit of 100 grams of CO
emissions per kilometer. This corresponds to fuel consumption of
less than four liters per 100 kilometers.

Its not a trick.Its a hybrid
Efficient hybrid vehicles represent a decisive step forward on the
path to electromobility. So what would make more sense than to
pair an economical diesel engine with an electric motor? 2011 saw
one such completely new concept from Bosch going into large-scale
series production: the Axle Split Hybrid System. Here, the diesel
drive to the front axle is supplemented by an electric drive to the rear
axle. The particularly clever feature is that existing vehicle concepts
can be adapted with ease, thus, avoiding the expense of integrating
a completely new powertrain.

Just how emission-free areelectric vehicles?
Driving an electric vehicle produces no CO. But, to ensure a fair com-
parison between the various types of powertrain, it is important to know
how the electricity driving the vehicle is generated because the more fossil
fuel used, the heavier the total carbon footprint becomes. The table on
this page shows the amount of CO released during fuel refinement and
electricity generation (well-to-tank) while driving (tank-to-wheel) and the
overall carbon footprints of the individual types of powertrain (well-to-
wheel) in comparison. So, with todays electricity mix, diesels are, in fact,
on the same carbon-footprint level as electric vehicles.

Be honest now...Do you still believe, as many people do, in those fairy tales of diesels
being smelly, soot-spewing monsters? We can assure you that those
days are long gone. Modern diesel engines of today emit only a tiny
fraction of the particulate they used to. Thanks to intelligent engine-
design measures and highly efficient exhaust-gas treatment, even those
noxious nitrogen oxides have been reduced to a minimum. Since the
introduction of exhaust-gas legislation in Europe in 1990, emissions of
nitrogen oxides and particulate have dropped by an impressive 96 and
98 percent respectively.

When its gone, its goneConserving our natural resources is not just a topic for the future. It is,
rather, a concern of the here and now. Fossil fuels produced over millions
of years can neither be regenerated nor used again. No one can seriously
predict today precisely when the oil age will come to an end, nor can
anyone predict if and when any new natural resources will be discovered
that will allow us to postpone the inevitable. What seems certain from
todays point of view is that there will be a gradual increase in the demand
for fuel in the years and decades to come; however, the available amounts
will fall. Every liter of mineral oil that can be saved today should definitely
be saved.

In Germany, every percentage point by which the relative number of
diesel vehicles can be increased could save around 90 million liters of fuel.
The position in the USA is even more drastic: if every third vehicle were a
modern diesel, the country would be able to cancel its entire crude-oil
imports from Saudi Arabia 1.4 million barrels every day! Taking an
average market price of 80 US dollars in 2010, this would have generated
economic savings of around 40.8 billion dollars, a great deal of money
which could have been invested in the modernization of electricity networks
particularly in the USA Driving a diesel today supports the electromobility
of tomorrow.

Think ahead.Drive farther
A diesel car is generally more expensive to buy than a comparable
gasoline model. All things considered, a diesel is generally more eco-
nomical. No wonder, since a diesel burns about 30 percent less fuel,
which gives an improved range of up to 40 percent. So those who think
ahead not only drive farther, but also drive more economically.

From algae todieselScientists the world over are doing intensive research into sustainable
raw materials for fuel production: raw materials which are neither food-
stuffs nor require precious arable land on which to be grown. Algae may
provide a promising solution here. Diesel fuel processed from this source
can power existing diesel engines without the need for adaptation.
The existing logistics and filling-station infrastructure can also be retained.
Furthermore, there is potential for transforming used cooking oils and
fats into diesel fuel in an environmentally compatible way.

Huge, powerful machines such as the diesel engines used for mining,
immense dump trucks and excavators used for highway construction,
to name but a few, continue to fascinate every generation, often in-
spiring our children to dream about their futures. Diesel passenger cars
possess similar power to that enjoyed by their big brothers but on a
smaller scale. Depending on the class of vehicle, a diesel has more torque
than a comparable gasoline model. Take your kids on a test drive.
Afterwards maybe they will also say, Daddy, when I grow up, I onlywant to drive a diesel.

Breaking the iceThere is hardly anything that seamen fear more than pack ice, which
can be a serious threat to supertankers if they fail to stop in time. How
comforting to know that diesel-powered icebreakers can clear paths for
passenger and cargo vessels. And while on the subject of clearing the
way, mining vehicles do a remarkable job clearing out Australias ore
mines. They can remove an incredible 400 tonnes of rock at a time. This
is around 26 times the payload of a normal big truck. And these are but
a couple of examples of the many special fields of application for whichdiesels due to their enormous power and strength are designed.

Admittedly, this statement may seem a bit of an exaggeration to all
those who grow fruit and vegetables in their own gardens, but for
everyone else, its pretty close to reality. All over the world it is mainlydiesel engines which drive the combine harvesters, the root-crop

to remind you that it is diesel commercial vehicles that transport
our food safely and efficiently to local supermarkets.

Our electricity networks do not always match up to what we require of
them. And while our reactions to such blackouts in the private sphere
can vary from annoyance to romanticism, critical situations may arisein circumstances where human lives are in acute danger. But before
the lights in operating rooms go out, or the monitors in traffic-control
towers and computer centers cut out, ultra-modern, diesel-powered
emergency generators spring into action within fractions of a second
to avoid catastrophes and where necessary provide the source of

We all know what it feels like to hold our breath, or to get butter-
flies in our stomach or when the hair rises on the back of our neck.
Those very same feelings are experienced by many people whenthey put their foot on the accelerator of a modern diesel vehicle for
the first time. Maximum torque is always there even at low engine
speeds, guaranteeing dynamic and superior forward movement.
And, without breaking any taboos, we can safely say that this is
just good, clean fun. Fun that may be enjoyed with a totally clear
