Robert Bosch introduced a new Bosch Heavy Duty Battery product line. According to the company, the new line of batteries was developed to withstand the extreme conditions that are unique to heavy-duty vehicles, including extended idling and severe temperatures.
To meet the specific needs of commercial vehicle owners and fleet operators, the Bosch Heavy Duty Battery line includes the Bosch T6 Battery with AGM (absorbent glass mat) technology, the Bosch T5 Dual Purpose Battery and the Bosch T4 Battery. According to the company, these batteries provide coverage for over-the-road and local delivery trucks, fire-fighting vehicles, coaches and buses, and municipal vehicles.
