Bosch wins major order from Mercedes-Benz for electric motors

Bosch received a major new order from Mercedes-Benz to supply a large volume of electric motors into the 2030s for the manufacturer’s next generation of electric powertrains.

“The new order reaffirms our long-standing partnership with Mercedes-Benz and shows that we can successfully contribute our expertise to technologically demanding projects as well,” says Markus Heyn, member of the Bosch board of management and chairman of Bosch Mobility.

The order follows on from a successful year in 2025, in which Bosch acquired more than 70 customer projects worldwide. The company currently supplies more than 50 automakers from all over the world with technology and solutions for electromobility.

Bosch plans to manufacture more than seven million components for electric driving in 2026. Currently, roughly seven electric motors roll off the company’s production lines every minute worldwide. Besides premium manufacturers such as Mercedes-Benz, Bosch also works with many other international automakers in the field of electromobility.

In India, for example, the company has entered a joint venture with TataAutocomp Systems to develop, commercialize, and manufacture e-axles for the Indian market. Bosch also plays a leading role as a technology partner in China, the world’s largest vehicle market today.

“We already work with almost all Chinese car manufacturers, as well as with numerous international automakers operating in China,” says Marco Zehe, president of Bosch’s Electrified Motion division. For more than a decade, Bosch has been manufacturing for many automakers based there and supplies more than 30 customers with solutions for electric driving.
