Sustainability in Transforming Mobile Machines at Bosch Rexroth

A vision for sustainability

More decarbonization and less noise

Mobile Hydraulics, Mobile Machines: With a view to sustainability, we at Bosch Rexroth offer solutions for off-highway electromobility with our application, system and technology know-how - from hybrid to fully electric machines.

eLION portfolio

eLION covers a wide range of components to electrify the power train of mobile machines, including a full range of electric motor-generators, inverters and accessories as well as tailored gearboxes, hydraulics and software.

Product information for eLION portfolio

Examples for Sustainability aspects:

  • Replacing internal combustion engines in mobile machines with fully electric power trains enables emission-free, local operation of, for example, agricultural or construction machines.
  • Inverter safety functions in accordance with ISO 13849.
  • Supports all design concepts in order to accelerate the development of electric power trains for further decarbonization of the economy.


More functionality and less installation space

Mobile Hydraulics, Mobile Machines: The new electronically controlled open circuit (EOC) at Bosch Rexroth takes over all the previous hydraulic tasks and opens up degrees of freedom for new functions.

electronic Open Circuit eOC

Software and hydraulic components for dynamically controlling travel and working hydraulics functions in compact machines in one hydraulic circuit.

Product information for electronic Open Circuit eOC

Examples for Sustainability aspects:

  • Shift of functions from hardware into software reduces the number of hardware components needed and saves material, installation space, and weight.
  • The energy consumption of the entire hydraulic system is more optimized, resulting in lower fuel consumption or greater battery range.


More data and less waste

Mobile Hydraulics, Mobile Machines: Get Mobile Machins connected with the Rexroth BODAS Connect – Telematics & IoT. The IoT Gateway software makes your machine and process data more transparent.

BODAS Connect – telematics & IoT

Modular all-in-one connectivity solution for transferring data from and to the mobile machine with device management, data management, and ready-to-use apps for fleet management, vehicle health, remote R&D services, and vehicle operation workflows.

Product information for BODAS Connect – Telematics & IoT

Examples for Sustainability aspects:

  • Used for instance in precision farming to control the use of fertilizer or pesticides to save resources and reduce waste.
  • Optimization of travel routes to save fuel or battery capacity.
  • Condition monitoring and remote access “over the air” increase availability and reduce on-site visits of maintenance technicians, thereby lowering the carbon footprint of field service.

More Flexibility and Less Energy Consumption

Compact directional valves platform EDG

Compact directional valves platform EDG

Compact directional valves with load sensing and pre-compensation are ready to be integrated and combined with all the existing Rexroth directional valves portfolio.

Examples for Sustainability aspects:

  • Industry benchmark for low energy consumption across hydraulics systems.
  • Customers realize overall lighter machine weight to meet regulatory classification requirements.
  • Carbon neutrally manufactured as all products within the portfolio of compact hydraulics.


More Safety and Less Weight

Check and metering E-Valves

Check and metering E-Valves

Check and metering E-valves compliant with ISO standard 8643 and offering assisted functions.

Examples for Sustainability aspects:

  • Up to 50 percent less power losses compared to check and metering hydraulics valves thanks to internal channels and new components design enhancing efficiency.
  • Machine complexity reduction due to less piping
  • Compact design and up to 22 percent less weight compared to check and metering hydraulics valves.


More Ergonomics and Less Space

Compact Power Modules

Compact Power Modules

Compact power module solution for electric scissor lifts includes in the central manifold all the hydraulic functions, dedicated to customer solution.

Examples for Sustainability aspects:

  • More comfort for operators and passers-by using a low noise motor and pump.
  • Integrating all hydraulic functions in only one manifold minimizes space.
  • No additional blocks needed for hydraulic functions and an aluminum die cast manifold grants lighter solutions, reducing fuel consumption of mobile machines.


More Lifetime and Less Material

Cartridge valves

Cartridge valves

With Mechanical Cartridge Valves and Solenoid Cartridge Valves engineers achieve space and weight saving hydraulics solutions, simplifying their design.

Examples for Sustainability aspects:

  • Rexroth is the market and technology leader in introducing lead free alloys for the complete portfolio.
  • Longer service-life by increasing the corrosion resistance to atmospheric exposures.
  • Innovative state-of-the-art manufacturing technologies reduce the consumption of raw materials, material movement, scraps and wasteful transportation.


More Controllability and Less Noise

Hydraulics Integrated Circuit: Brake by Wire

Hydraulics Integrated Circuit: Brake by Wire

Electro-hydraulics actuation for brake-by-wire solutions regulates the pressure proportionally to increase machine controllability and operation comfort.

Examples for Sustainability aspects:

  • Basis for the implementation of driver assistance and protection functions.
  • Switch to lead free alloys already in progress.
  • Reduction of hydraulics tubes in the driver cabin reduce noise and improving working conditions.


More Efficiency and Less Energy Consumption

Hydraulics Integrated Circuit: Gravity Lowering

Hydraulics Integrated Circuit: Gravity Lowering

An electrical proportional post-compensated lowering valve directly mounted on the cylinder for highly efficient gravity lowering Mobile Elevating Work Platforms (MEWP) and other mobile applications.

Examples for Sustainability aspects:

  • Increased performance and efficiency.
  • Controlled energy-less lowering reduces fuel consumption and carbon emission to zero.
  • Space and weight optimized design reduces the machine fuel consumption.


More Coolness and Less Carbon Emissions

Hydraulics Integrated Circuit: Electrohydraulic fan drive

Hydraulics Integrated Circuit: Electrohydraulic fan drive

The compact Electrohydraulic Fan Drive (HICFD) steplessly adjusts the fan speed drive according to the cooling demand of a diesel engine independent from the speed of the engine.

Examples for Sustainability aspects:

  • Cooling on demand reduces fuel consumption because the fan drive can be lowered when the cooling demand is low.
  • The Electrohydraulic fan drive keeps combustion engines reliably at an optimum operating temperature window.
