Bosch shows Rigid eAxle and ADAS

Bosch said on September 2 that it will use IAA Mobility 2026 to showcase a set of electrification, hydrogen and automated-driving products spanning passenger and commercial vehicle applications. The lineup named by the company includes the Bosch Rigid eAxle, a fuel-cell system for intercity and coach buses, the Digital Fuel Twin software offering and the Bosch ADAS Integration Platform. Bosch published the announcement ahead of the Munich show this month. The company framed the exhibit around software, electrified drivetrains and lower-emissions transport solutions. ### What exactly is Bosch putting on display? Bosch listed four headline products in its IAA Mobility 2026 materials: the Rigid eAxle, a fuel-cell system for intercity buses and coaches, the Digital Fuel Twin and the Bosch ADAS Integration Platform. The company also published images and supporting descriptions for those products through its media service. The Bosch ADAS Integration Platform is part of the company’s driver-assistance and vehicle-integration push, while the Digital Fuel Twin is a cloud-based software product designed to document the use of renewable fuels. (bosch-presse.de) Bosch said the fuel-documentation tool is aimed at providing digital proof of CO2-relevant fuel use. ### What is the Rigid eAxle? (bosch-presse.de) Bosch said the new Rigid eAxle combines core electric powertrain components, including the electric motor and transmission, into a rigid axle for commercial vehicles. The company said the system is intended for trucks and other commercial vehicles in the 18- to 49-ton range. The product sits in Bosch’s broader effort to supply integrated electrified drivetrains to commercial-vehicle makers. (bosch-presse.de) Bosch has separately said its mobility business generated 55.8 billion euros in sales in 2025, accounting for about 61% of total group sales. ### What did Bosch say about the fuel-cell system? Bosch said its compact, highly integrated fuel-cell systems cover an output range of 100 to 300 kilowatts. (bosch-presse.de) In materials tied to the bus application, the company identified the FCPM C190 fuel-cell system as delivering 190 kilowatts for intercity buses and coaches. A July 28 Bosch release said a new Bosch fuel-cell system had begun test operations in Madrid in what the company described as its first customer project in the bus segment. (bosch-presse.de) Bosch executive Thomas Pauer said in that release that fuel cells complement battery-electric powertrains in bus operations. ### What is Digital Fuel Twin supposed to do? Bosch said the Digital Fuel Twin is a cloud-based software solution that documents the use of renewable fuels. (bosch-presse.de) The company has described it as a digital CO2 record intended for biofuels and electricity-based synthetic fuels, particularly for existing fleets and commercial vehicles that are harder to electrify. (bosch-presse.de) A July 15 Bosch press kit tied the software to a pilot project with Toyota, BMW and Repsol testing fully renewable gasoline in real-world use. Bosch said the Digital Fuel Twin handled the digital documentation in that project. ### Why are Munich and Hannover both part of this story? Bosch’s Munich announcement is tied to IAA Mobility 2026, the passenger-car and wider mobility event where the company said it will present the technologies publicly this month. (bosch-presse.de) Bosch is also preparing for IAA Transportation 2026 in Hannover, where it has separately said it will show freight and passenger-transport technologies from September 14 to 20. (bosch-presse.de) September 14 to 20 is the next dated milestone Bosch has given for the commercial-vehicle side of its exhibition calendar. Bosch’s Hannover materials say visitors there will see additional products for what the company calls software-defined transportation, including electrified axles, fuel-cell systems and driver-assistance technologies.
