In modern automotive engineering, diesel engines are renowned for their high fuel efficiency and powerful torque output. However, diesel engine performance and emissions depend heavily on their fuel injection systems. Bosch, a global leader in automotive technology, brings over a century of experience and innovation to diesel injection systems, providing comprehensive solutions for various diesel vehicles. Bosch diesel injection systems serve not only as core components of diesel engines but also as critical technologies enabling lean combustion, efficient power delivery, and clean emissions.

Bosch's history in diesel injection systems dates back to the early 20th century. In 1927, Bosch introduced the world's first diesel injection pump for trucks, marking a significant milestone in diesel engine technology. Since then, Bosch has continuously innovated, developing various diesel injection systems including distributor pumps, unit pumps, and common rail systems, driving the evolution of diesel engine technology.

Bosch's early diesel injection systems primarily used mechanical controls, with camshaft-driven injection pumps delivering fuel into cylinders. These systems featured simple structures and high reliability but suffered from low injection pressure and poor fuel atomization, leading to incomplete combustion and higher emissions.

With advancements in electronic technology, Bosch began incorporating electronic controls into diesel injection systems. Electronically controlled systems enabled more precise management of fuel quantity, timing, and pressure, improving combustion efficiency and reducing emissions.

Entering the 21st century, Bosch introduced common rail injection systems, which have become the mainstream choice for modern diesel engines. Common rail systems store fuel in a high-pressure rail and use solenoid valves or piezoelectric technology to control injector operation, enabling multiple injection strategies that optimize combustion while significantly reducing noise and emissions.

Bosch diesel injection systems are complex assemblies covering all processes from fuel delivery to exhaust treatment. Key components include:

The most advanced and widely used fuel injection technology for modern diesel engines separates the fuel pump from injectors, storing fuel in a high-pressure common rail while using solenoid valves or piezoelectric actuators to control injector operation.

• Common Rail Pump: The system's core component pressurizes fuel to extremely high levels (typically 1600-2700 bar). Bosch pumps employ precision manufacturing and premium materials to ensure stable, reliable pressure delivery.
• Common Rail: A high-pressure fuel reservoir connecting the pump and injectors, designed to maintain pressure uniformity while minimizing pulsation.
• Common Rail Injector: Critical components delivering high-pressure fuel into cylinders, available in solenoid valve or piezoelectric ceramic versions for precise fuel control.
• ECU (Engine Control Unit): The system's brain that calculates optimal injection parameters based on engine operating conditions.

Bosch's selective catalytic reduction (SCR) system meets stringent emissions regulations by precisely dosing AdBlue (urea solution) to convert nitrogen oxides (NOx) into harmless nitrogen and water.

For legacy applications, Bosch maintains traditional solutions including distributor pumps, unit pumps, and unit injectors.
