Bosch Plans Acquisition of the MoTeC Group

Bosch plans to acquire the MoTeC Group, headquartered in Melbourne, Australia. MoTeC offers a wide range of motorsports technology for the customer racing market.

The company specializes in the development, manufacture, and distribution of motorsport technology for teams in numerous racing series and is well established in this market. Contracts for the planned acquisition were signed by Bosch and the MoTeC Group this month. The parties have agreed not to disclose the purchase price. The transaction is subject to approval by the merger control authorities.

In organizational terms, MoTeC will become an integral part of Bosch Motorsport, a business unit of Bosch Engineering. As an engineering service provider, Bosch Engineering offers customized development and consulting services in the automotive and motorsport sectors. With its wide range of motorsports technology, MoTeC’s portfolio includes vehicle and engine control units, displays, data loggers, and onboard power supply control units for conventional as well as electrified racing series.

The MoTeC Group employs 54 people worldwide between its headquarters and a sales and technical customer service office in Banbury (UK). The MoTeC Group’s business operations will be continued in the future as a separate legal entity, under its own brand.
