Business partnership between BOSCH and CAPELEC

Dear Sir or Madam, Dear Customers,

We are pleased to announce the expansion of the collaboration initiated during the transition to the 2024 two-wheeler regulations between CAPELEC, a designer and manufacturer of vehicle inspection equipment, and BOSCH, an automotive supplier, manufacturer of workshop equipment, and service provider in the vehicle inspection sector.

This commercial and technical partnership aims to provide vehicle inspection professionals with a complementary and cohesive offering, combining the supply of high-performance equipment with highly qualified, localized service support.

Two independent players for optimized service continuity

Committed to offering a simple solution for replacing BOSCH products that have been in use for many years, our two companies are combining their respective expertise to ensure continuity for the installed base:

For equipment: CAPELEC integrates its innovative software solution with the proven technology of the original BOSCH VL and VL+ test bench frames. CAPELEC will now market these new control lines under its own brand, along with spare parts and its headlight adjustment range.

For maintenance services: Drawing on its long-standing expertise and technical teams, BOSCH will, upon CAPELEC’s recommendation, provide installation, commissioning, regulatory and corrective maintenance services, as well as after-sales service for all of this equipment.

Your dedicated contacts remain separate and specialized:

BOSCH for your regulatory maintenance contracts, your requests for technical after-sales service, and your gas analyzer projects.

CAPELEC for the purchase of equipment and spare parts, as well as the planning of your new line equipment projects.

This commercial partnership is offered as a preferred, non-exclusive recommendation. Our customers thus retain complete commercial independence in selecting their equipment and subscribing to maintenance services, ensuring an offering that is always perfectly tailored to their needs.

Innovation and Local Presence

New equipment coming soon: The specialization of our respective Research & Development departments will enable us to expand our product and service lines with solutions tailored to future European regulatory changes.

Unchanged geographic coverage: The structures and teams of our two companies remain fully autonomous and unchanged. You will continue to benefit from the same regional network, the same operational proximity, and the high standards of responsiveness that are our strength.

This collaboration reflects our shared commitment to providing a comprehensive response to the technological and regulatory challenges of tomorrow, while respecting the autonomy and choices of each operator.

We are confident in the benefits of this collaboration, and our respective teams remain at your disposal to answer any questions you may have.

Sincerely,

Robert Bosch France SAS
