To optimize the safety of persons, Bosch, a leader in technological innovation for automotive industry, continues to develop products such as sensors mounted on the side panels of vehicles, which determine the strength and direction of impact more quickly.
also developed intelligent systems that provide information such as weight and position of the driver and passenger. Thus, s i occupants are not very heavy or are leaning forward, the airbag release mechanism or trigger is inhibited gradually to reduce the risk of injury. At the same time, it can incorporate additional features to prevent pedestrian accidents, as-p. eg .- the automatic lifting of the bonnet in a collision.
About 80% of new vehicles manufactured worldwide are equipped with an airbag at least . Such is its importance that in 2009 the governments of Argentina and Brazil arranged for 2014, mandatory installation of various safety features in vehicles 0 km traded in their markets: dual front airbags for driver and front passenger, and system anti-lock brakes (ABS).
Bosch has already produced over 111 million units control on three continents: considering the specific needs of the vehicle market in China, India and Mercosur (with predominantly low-cost vehicles), the Company introduced a light version of airbag control unit, which with a lower cost but without sacrificing reliability, allows passive safety systems are available to all types of vehicles.
Since the beginning of the serial production of airbags, 31 years ago, specialists of the Bosch Group has consistently worked to improve them. Thanks to the strong commitment and investment that Held annually in research and development (more than 4,000 million Euros in 2010), it was possible to reduce by 70% the size and weight of the control units.
In case of accident, fire control modules passive safety devices like airbags and safety belt pretensioners, reducing the risk of injury to vehicle occupants.
The airbag 10, the current generation of this product Bosch, went into production in 2008.

Fernando Diaz, Manager Original Equipment Sales Division Robert Bosch Argentina, said: "It has been found in different countries that the introduction of airbags in vehicles is able to reduce by half the number of deaths in traffic accidents. "
When the airbag control units to join with the systems and sensors that provide assistance to the driver and the vehicle communication will be possible to introduce further security features: an example is the Secondary Collision Mitigation, which connects the airbag system with electronic stability program ESP ®. If the sensors detect an impact crash, the ESP ® brakes automatically to slow the vehicle, reducing its kinetic energy and minimizing the force of a possible second collision.
