German tech company Bosch will begin production of motorcycle anti-lock braking system (ABS) during the second quarter of 2022 in Thailand. The Amata plant has been producing components for vehicles for over 25 years. It has also been producing ABS products for four-wheelers since 2014.

According to Soya Cincau, Thailand’s Department of Land Transport has recently announced that all-new motorized two-wheelers must have ABS by 2024. It is also a mandatory rule that all existing motorized two-wheelers over 125cc must have ABS by 2026.

“User-centric mobility is at the heart of Bosch’s business. It motivates us to develop technology that will make mobility safer for all road users”, says Martin Hayes, regional president of Bosch Southeast Asia.

“This development cements Bosch’s commitment not only to road safety in general but to the countries we operate in.”

ABS is one of the greatest safety mechanisms for bike riders. Its installation is able to allow riders to navigate the road safely without worrying about accidents. Bosch stated that approximately 25% of motorized two-wheeler accidents could be prevented by ABS.

According to the World Health Organisation (WHO), two-wheeler and three-wheeler accidents make up about 43% of all road traffic deaths in Southeast Asia. Countries such as Malaysia, Vietnam, and Thailand are known for having motorcycles as one of the main forms of commute. However, Thailand has the highest rate of road traffic fatalities out of all ASEAN countries. Southeast Asia has an average road fatality rate of 20.7 deaths per 100,000, but Thailand’s rate is 36.2.

The implementation of Bosch’s motorcycle ABS in Thailand is the country’s measure to reduce the numbers. In light of the safety mechanism, Thailand hopes to see the roads become a safer place for motorcycle commuters. The key is to first educate people on the importance and functions of ABS and then put it to use on the road. ABS prevents the wheels from locking up when you brake. This is important as it helps with deceleration times and stability.

Malaysia has been behind in the ABS and electronic stability program (ESP) adoption for many years. The reason for this is the fact that regulations are less strict.  The former Transport Minister Loke has addressed the motorcycle ABS suggestions by saying that the ministry was “gathering opinions, feedback and proposals” and working with JPJ and MIROS to formulate a policy. Despite that, nothing concrete has been done so far.
