LMDH POWERTRAIN DEAL GOES TO BOSCH
Bosch Motorsport has been nominated as the exclusive supplier of several key hybrid powertrain components in the new LMDH category that is set to debut in 2022.
The new unified platform for prototype racing, created by the ACO and IMSA, will allow hybrid-equipped cars based on
LMP2 machinery to compete in the
World Endurance Championship and
IMSA Sportscar Championship against the Le Mans Hypercars that are due to come on stream in the WEC next year.
Working alongside battery and transmission providers Williams Advanced Engineering and Xtrac, Bosch will supply the e-machine, inverter and vehicle control unit to the brake-by-wire system along with other peripheral electronics.
Vice president of Bosch Motorsport Dr Klaus Boettcher said: “This is the next step in demonstrating our years of expertise and competence in motorsport, both with our technology and system engineering for a perfect interaction of all components.”
