Bosch is working on a new ECU technology that could revolutionize the way information is displayed to the user.Its main plan is to showcase their front line technology in the bike business by presenting a new motorcycle Electronic Control Unit (ECU) that can connect with a rider's Smartphone through Bluetooth or a Connectivity Control Unit (CCU).
This new revolutionized engine management system will accredit a connected Smartphone to be utilized as a readout device, endeavoring owners about things like when to get their vehicles serviced and offering riders the opportunity to read and save information on their fuel consumption, speed, lean angle, and distance covered.
The company also claims that the Smartphone connection would also work as a remote immobilizer system; the fuel-injection system, and therefore the engine, would only be activated using the rider's own Smartphone, providing additional protection against any theft.
Bosch has created the unit to be small, boisterous, cheap and adaptable, where it will give motorcycle producers in developing markets motivation and incentives to move from carburetors to fuel injection for expanded fuel efficiency, at a reasonable cost to suit the business sector. According to some reports, this new ECU from Bosch is five times smaller than the current ECU, which is based on a car technology, found in bikes like KTM's Duke 125.
When fitted and aligned to a particular bike, the ECU is capable of offering riding modes, cruise control and combination with other Bosch engineering like Motorcycle Stability Control (MSC), found on the most recent KTM 1190 Adventure. Bosch likewise says that the framework has the capacity to configure the engine in such a way so that to it runs on ethanol or petrol, giving riders the alternative to pick the more affordable fuel.
