	Bosch's largest business sector is the automotive technology sector, which generated about 63% of the revenue in 2004. This business sector comprises of: ''[[Gasoline]] Systems'' and ''[[Diesel]] Systems'' with the core products injection and motor management, ''Chassis Systems Brakes'', ''Chassis Systems Control'', ''Energy and Auxiliary Systems'' ([[alternator]]s, [[starter motor]]s), ''Car [[Multimedia]]'' (Brand: [[Blaupunkt]]), ''Car Electronics'' (control units and semiconductor elements) and ''Automotive Exchange'' (spare parts).

	Bosch was the world's largest automotive supplier in terms of sales for the first time in 2004. In this year<!--As of which date?-->, the business sector generated sales of 25.3 billion euros. Aside from the healthy state of the global automotive business, the high demand for modern diesel systems had a positive effect. The share of diesel engines in newly registered cars in western Europe rose to 48% in 2004. Bosch has played a major role in shaping this trend. With third-generation common-rail technology, Bosch has the most advanced system on today's market, with additional improvements in performance, consumption, and eco-friendliness. Bosch is also developing a particulate filter, production of which will start in 2006.		Bosch was the world's largest automotive supplier in terms of sales for the first time in 2004.
