The ESI[tronic] diagnostic software offers your commercial vehicle workshop a fast and efficient diagnosis. With the help of the modular software packages, you can put together ESI[tronic] according to your needs.
Vehicle diagnostics often remain superficial and fail to provide results that help solve the underlying problem. Bosch ESI[tronic] offers a comprehensive coverage of 18,000 vehicle models and more than 600 brands for commercial and off-highway vehicles, as well as specialized diagnostic and repair functions for electric vehicles. This enables precise diagnostics, reducing rework, shortening diagnostic times, and increasing the number of successful repairs.
A new commercial vehicle model arrives at your workshop, ready for maintenance or diagnostics. But instead of getting started, you're blocked by a security gateway. Important functions such as service resets or ADAS calibrations are made more difficult.
With Secure Diagnostic Access (SDA) from Bosch, you gain an integrated and standardized solution for quick access to the protected electronics of various manufacturers. This eliminates cumbersome registrations and payments on diverse portals, saving you valuable time and enabling fast, reliable commercial vehicle diagnostics.
Bosch ESI[tronic] for Truck and Off-Highway offers you the comprehensive solution for your entire fleet: From light or heavy commercial vehicles and buses, to trailers – we have also integrated the Knorr-Bremse original system directly into ESI[tronic] software. Furthermore, you can diagnose, maintain or repair your construction and agricultural machinery as well as forklift truck so that the vehicles are quickly ready to drive again.
Finding the right diagnostic adapter can be tedious and time-consuming. With the Easy Connect adapter concept, that's a thing of the past. The portfolio includes more than 100 vehicle-specific adapter cables for vehicles without an OBD port, which connect easily to the vehicle. The ESI[tronic] software for trucks and off-highway vehicles displays the appropriate adapter cable, and the connection can be selected immediately. The adapters are designed to be foolproof, eliminating potential errors, protecting your equipment and saving valuable time for other vehicles. These adapters are designed to prevent incorrect connections, thus saving valuable time for other vehicles.

Component information with target values, output voltage, characteristic curves, etc. support troubleshooting.
By entering the Vehicle Identification Number (VIN), a unique assignment of the vehicle data record is made. This ensures the compatibility of the retrieved information and functions with the specific commercial vehicle.
A selection of more than 90 vehicle-specific diagnostic adapters is available for the KTS for truck. These enable reliable access to the systems of around 600 vehicle brands, thus ensuring broad compatibility across a wide range of commercial vehicle models.
The ESI[tronic] diagnostic software is the heart of the workshop when it comes to the fast and efficient repair of commercial vehicles. However, it only unfolds its full potential when combined with the right hardware. This is where the modular Easy Connect system comes in, revolutionizing the connection between the diagnostic device and the commercial vehicle. With a variety of vehicle adapters linked together via an intelligent plug-in system, Easy Connect offers unique flexibility and efficiency, allowing ESI[tronic] to perform its work optimally on a wide range of vehicle types.
