Once in a workshop the order for repair of the device of ignition for firm "Äîéö" internal combustion engine has arrived. Knowing about Robert Bosha's experience in creation of electric devices, customers have asked to increase capacity of the device. After the thorough analysis Robert has established, that the existing unit is not capable to develop a current, the demanded size. These data were an incitement for creation of the new device. So in 1887 has appeared first-ever low-voltage magneto for stationary gas engines. Magneto Bosha which became a prototype for an emblem shtutgardskoj firms, G.Dajmleru was pleasant. On cars of its design the system of ignition using zapalnuju a tube which demanded a lot of time for preparation of the car for job was established. Magneto relieved the mechanic of labour-consuming procedure. G.Dajmler and R.Bosh have entered into the agreement on system engineering of ignition for cars "Daimler". On working out new magneto some months have left, and preparation for a batch production has occupied about two years.

The new device has appeared compact and reliable, that has positively affected increase in demand at cars. Other automobile companies also began to use magneto for the cars.

    * 1927 - the fuel pump of a high pressure for diesel engines;
    * 1951 - systems of injection for petrol engines;
    * 1967 - electronic systems of injection for petrol engines "Äæåòðîíèê";
    * 1976 - the beginning of manufacturing of ljambda-probes;
    * 1978 - working out of antiblocking system AVS;
    * 1979 - "Motronik" - a digital control system of injection of gasoline and ignition;
    * 1986 - the beginning of serial manufacturing antiprobuksovochnyh systems ASR;
    * 1986 - system of electronic injection of diesel fuel;
    * 1995 - system of adjustment of dynamics of car FDR.
