German heavyweight Bosch took part in the event to showcase its range of products and solutions through its three-pronged Parts, Bytes and Services strategy. With its comprehensive basket of modern technologies, services and innovative solutions, Bosch is aggressively working on expanding its presence in the STU segment while also working on strengthening its association with private fleet customers.
While Bosch works with the likes of BMTC, KSRTC and MTC among other STUs, it is looking to reach out to more private fleets, some of which are growing at a rapid pace. This, in turn, calls for efficient fleet management, especially on the workshop front.
“We work with the STUs through ASRTU and we have had some good discussions here at the event. ASRTU has done a very good job in connecting the industry and giving a good platform for all the stakeholders in the bus industry to interact. Apart from STUs, we could also meet some private fleet owners who were looking for support in enhancing the quality of repairs and overall fleet management. We are very strong in that segment and are capable of offering them a comprehensive range of services and solutions”, says Mr. Ramesh. S. Kulkarni, General Manager, Exports and Key Accounts, Bosch Ltd.
Bosch has a wide range of offerings under its services division, including service equipment, special service tools and electronic diagnostics and has recently introduced connected cloud services. While track and trace has become a common service in the industry today, Bosch has gone a few steps ahead by focusing on Predictive Diagnostics and Diagnostics over IP (DoIP).
“We have displayed our conventional range of solutions and also our futuristic ones at this event. We have showcased our new set of diagnostics solutions here, and it has been received with a lot of interest from customers. With our Parts, Bytes and Services approach, we have the most comprehensive range of solutions which no one else in the industry can match today”, adds Mr. Abhijit Kallianpur, Senior General Manager, Automotive Service Solutions, Automotive Aftermarket, Bosch Ltd.
