Bosch Automotive Diesel Systems Co Ltd, the joint venture between Germany's Robert Bosch GmbH and Wuxi Weifu High-Technology Group Co Ltd, recently announced that it will invest 1.6 billion yuan in a new facility in the eastern port city of Qingdao to produce diesel fuel injectors and other products.

The new facility in the Qingdao National High-Tech Industrial Development Zone covering 110,000 square meters will be Bosch's second manufacturing site for clean diesel technology in China.

The demand for energy-saving and eco-friendly auto diesel technology will rise rapidly as China adopts a national IV emission standard by the middle of 2013, the company said.
