Bosch aftermarket business unit gets new name

As per an official statement, the Bosch Automotive Aftermarket business unit will now operate under the new name: Bosch Mobility Aftermarket. It is still a part of the German company’s mobility sector but it reflects the division’s wider scope.

According to the company, this represents its reaction to the changes in the market. As such, the change from “automotive” to “mobility” within its official title is warranted. The company, after all, is keen on understanding mobility and its future, as well as its effect on customers. 

That said, the core of the business is still maintenance and repair of vehicles - specifically spare parts. Then again, the Bosche Mobility Aftermarket will now cover sustainable mobility solutions as well.

For now, the company has yet to give specifics of how this change will affect its product lineup. But if we had to guess, it might be developing aftermarket parts, and hopefully even tools for new energy vehicles like hybrids and battery electric vehicles (BEVs). 

Currently, Bosch employs over 421,000 people all across the globe. It is the market leader in several business sectors: mobility, industrial technology, and consumer goods, among others. Bosch Mobility Aftermarket is the company’s division primarily handling automotive products.
