In line with our commitment to climate-neutral mobility, Bosch has made significant progress in establishing the hydrogen engine as a viable alternative drive option alongside battery electric and fuel cells vehicles. Ongoing development of series components for hydrogen engines, with a specific focus on commercial vehicle and off-highway applications, remains a key priority. The favorable properties of hydrogen have been explored during the last years to demonstrate the potential for powerful engines in sports and race cars, the DNA of Bosch Engineering. Notably, a joint innovation project with Ligier Automotive resulted in the successful development of a high-performance vehicle with a 3.0-liter V6 hydrogen engine in an impressively short timeframe, showcasing the tangible potential of hydrogen-powered vehicles in the sports and racing car segment. This engine has been presented during the 2024 edition of the Stuttgart International Symposium.

As of July 2025, Bosch Engineering will have achieved significant milestones in the evolution of the 3.0-liter V6 high-performance hydrogen engine, following the initial presentation. The focus of the new developments is centered on the advancements made in the pursuit of an improved performance and an on-road homologation thanks to a suitable exhaust gas treatment concept. Notably, these advancements include the optimization of the engine hardware and particularly the integration of Bosch's new compact DI injector. Additionally, the engine control management and calibration are adapted to achieve real lambda 1 combustion, complemented by specific exhaust gas treatment hardware and control strategies, and finally validated by automated WLTC simulation runs on engine test bench. These developments underscore the significant strides made in realizing the market readiness of the high-performance hydrogen engine.
