The road safety themed artwork underscores the company\u2019s long-standing advocacy for road and vehicle safety, which was created together with Estonian startup \u2018Robot Muralist\u2019.&nbsp;<\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Bosch transformed the high building wall in Quezon City into a one-of-a-kind urban wall art depicting key figures of the country\u2019s mobility landscape.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">The initiative from Bosch aims to drive the importance of road and vehicle safety to the public, through a wall art which captures the public\u2019s curiosity offline and gets them learning and sharing online.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">\u201cFor Bosch, every traffic-related death is one too many,\u201d Richard Walker, Managing Director of Bosch Philippines said, \u201cThe future of mobility is accident-free \u2013 on the roads and in vehicles\u201d. <\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Realizing the importance of innovative resources that create meaningful impact, Walker added that \u201cthe map of numbers mural that Bosch and Robot Muralist have collaborated on symbolizes how humans and machines can work together in making safe mobility a reality \u2013 through responsible behavior and reliable technology.\u201d<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">According to the World Health Organization, the number of traffic-related fatalities in the Philippines have continued to rise over the years, with an estimate of more than&nbsp;12,000 deaths in 2016. Every year, the lives of approximately&nbsp;1.35 million&nbsp;people worldwide are cut short due to road traffic accidents, with the younger demographics aged&nbsp;5 to 29 the most vulnerable.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Bosch believes that raising awareness on road safety is a way to contribute to nation-building. \u201cIt takes a community to pave roads for future generations. In achieving a truly safe traffic environment, the responsibility must not only be imposed on the public sector, but on all of us \u2013 the motorists, pedestrians, and commuters,\u201d said Walker.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Since 2014, Bosch has been working closely with Philippines\u2019 Department of Transportation (DOTr) in developing plans to increase road safety standards in the country.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">In 2017,&nbsp;Bosch collaborated with the DOTr in advising the publication of the&nbsp;Philippine Road Safety Action Plan (PRSAP).&nbsp;Under the PRSAP, the government recommends that new vehicles consider usage of the most up to date vehicle safety technologies.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Bosch\u2019s innovative wall painting aims to augment this effort to reach larger audiences. \u201cTrue to our company\u2019s brand core \u201cInvented for life\u201d, we are passionate about improving the lives of the Filipino community. Bosch develops countless safety technologies that can help improve road safety. In this project we were able to raise awareness for an important topic while at the same time also beautifying our home city, by adding some color,\u201d&nbsp; concluded Walker.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">The wall painting can be viewed on CTK Building, 70 N.
