FYI: Horse Powertrain introduces a groundbreaking hybrid system for EVs, offering a versatile solution for manufacturers striving for sustainable mobility.


Horse Powertrain: Innovating the Future of Hybrid Technology

In a world where electric vehicles (EVs) are steadily gaining traction, notably in markets like the United States and China, the drive towards sustainability is reshaping automotive strategies. Despite significant investments already made in dedicated EV platforms, manufacturers are exploring hybrid solutions to bridge past investments with future demands. Enter Horse Powertrain—a innovator seeking to redefine the hybrid vehicle landscape.

All-in-One Hybrid Power Unit

Jointly financed by Renault Group, Geely, and Aramco, Horse Powertrain has unveiled a revolutionary answer for car manufacturers with its Future Hybrid Concept. Set to make a grand entrance at the Auto Shanghai show, the system is designed to seamlessly integrate into existing EVs, effectively turning them into hybrids. The power unit encompasses a gasoline engine, an electric motor, and a transmission, all engineered to replace the existing front drive unit of an electric car efficiently.

Dual Fuel Capability Meets Cost Optimization

What makes Horse’s solution particularly exciting is its ability to utilize a variety of fuels, from traditional gasoline to ethanol flex fuels, methanol, and innovations in synthetic fuels. This adaptability not only broadens its usability in diverse markets but also aligns with efforts to optimize costs. According to Horse Powertrain, the same production line can be used for both EVs and hybrids that employ this powertrain, thereby reducing manufacturing complexity and costs significantly.

Seamless Integration With Minimal Modifications

The concept minimizes the need for structural changes: it simply bolts onto the vehicle’s subframe, incorporating necessary components like a gas tank and exhaust provisions. Leveraging the existing battery, it serves as a range extender while also offering the flexibility to drive front-wheel or all-wheel, depending on configuration. The system is equipped with crucial power electronics, including a controller, inverter, DC to DC converter, and on-board charger, catering to the growing demands for efficient hybrid systems.

Looking Towards a Multi-Technology Future

Horse Powertrain is set to offer its hybrid units for mass production by 2028, providing smaller automakers the opportunity to innovate cost-effectively. Matias Giannini, CEO of Horse Powertrain, highlights this shift: "We are witnessing a move towards a technology-neutral environment where each market customizes its journey to sustainable mobility. Our hybrid system allows OEMs to maintain diversity in powertrain offerings without overhauling their production lines."

Conclusion: A Dynamic Shift in Automotive Engineering

Horse Powertrain presents an ingenious solution that fosters sustainability and economic pragmatism in the evolving automotive landscape. By blending electric and combustion technologies, it offers manufacturers the flexibility they need in an industry striving for a greener tomorrow.
