Our three levers make your fluid technology more environmentally friendly. And more economical too.

According to a joint study by the Boston Consulting Group and the VDMA, CO₂ emissions from industrial greenhouse gases can be reduced by 13 gigatons by 2030 and by 30 gigatons by 2050.
More about the study...

As a machine builder and plant operator, you play an important role in the fight against climate change. With your ability to make production technology more efficient, you hold an essential key to reducing the industry's CO₂ emissions.

Bosch Rexroth supports you in achieving your climate goals with an intelligent combination of solutions.

Less Energy

  • Less electricity consumption
  • Less operating costs
  • Less CO₂ emissions

Optimum hydraulic system design
Energy efficiency can be significantly increased by optimizing systems through simulation and other software tools during the design phase.

Sytronix variable-speed drives
Through the energy-on-demand principle of variable speed drives, energy savings of up to 80% can be achieved. At the same time, they also minimize noise levels.

Kinetic buffering
Energy released during braking can be stored hydraulically, mechanically or electrically and fed back into the system at the appropriate point.

Less material

Design with optimized flow and material use

  • High efficiency
  • Less space
  • Lower costs

Innovative geometries
With the help of additive manufacturing procedures, Bosch Rexroth produces innovative geometries for flow-optimized manifolds and valves which allow lighter, more compact components and higher levels of efficiency.

Designed with optimal flow and degassing
With the help of our simulation systems, we design units with optimized flow and degassing for new and existing systems. These produce the same power output but with much smaller tanks and with much less hydraulic oil.
