Bosch ceramic technology affords best-in-class performance. Driven by the need to meet U.S. EPA requirements for lower exhaust emissions, Bosch developed the revolutionary planar sensor. The planar sensor "lights off," or reaches operating temperature, in approximately 10 to 12 seconds. That's over two times faster than a conventional thimble type sensor. This quicker light-off time reduces emissions by over 50% during the cold start phase, when harmful emissions are highs. To date, Bosch has produced 1 billion Oxygen Sensors. It took 32 years – from 1976 to 2008 – to reach the production record of 500 million pieces, but only eight years – from 2008 to 2016 – to double the production figures to 1 billion sensors. Bosch Oxygen Sensors continue to lead the market with their high-quality reputation; an attribute that has defined Bosch since its inception.
