Posted by Car Battery Jump Starter in Article, tags: Lambda, Oxygen, Probes, SensorsAn Oxygen sensor is sometimes called a Lambda sensor or probe, it is used to lessen emissions from a vehicle by guaranteeing that the engine burns its fuel well and clean. Robert Bosch GmbH which is one of the world’s biggest automobile components supplier was founded by Robert Bosch in 1886, and was responsible for the introduction of the first Lambda sensor/probe or oxygen sensor in the year 1976.
Oxygen sensors that are used for automobiles are generally referred to as O2 Sensors and after the first one was pioneered by Robert Bosch, Volvo and Saab, which is a manufacturer of automobiles, but which General Motors is now the proprietor of, decided to be the first set of companies to use an O2 sensor in their vehicles; this was within the same year the oxygen sensor was introduced. The O2 sensors were not introduced into the United States until about 1980, and in 1993, oxygen sensors became a requirement on all types of cars within many European countries.
