THE FUTURE OF
Why Horse Powertrain is driving multiple diverse paths to global Net Zero
Established as a joint venture between Geely and Renault, Horse Powertrain( Horse) was built on a foundation of over 125 years of Internal Combustion Engine( ICE) and hybrid powertrain heritage, including a production footprint, research and development resources, and intellectual property. These initial shareholders were joined by Aramco last year, who acquired ten percent of the company, with Renault and Geely retaining 45 percent shares each.
Horse is a totally independent company that provides universal, brand-agnostic solutions for low-emission and alternative fuel power needs. The company is unique in that its largest shareholders, Renault and Geely, are also Horse’ s customers. Across its 17 manufacturing plants and five research and development( R & D) centers, Horse designs and produces a broad range of engines, transmissions, and gearboxes, spanning the full hybrid and combustion component stack and covering around 80 percent of global market requirements.
Ingo Scholten, Chief Technology Officer, elaborates on the company’ s portfolio and its evolution so far.“ Our product range is very diverse, from Power Electronics Boxes( PEB) and hybrid engines to gearboxes and engines compatible with flex fuels,” he opens.“ We develop solutions tailored to the specific needs and pressure points of different markets and applications. By doing so, we support a tailored transition to manufacturers’ net-zero goals. While electric vehicles( EVs) play an important role in the journey to Net Zero, they realistically address only about half of the global transportation challenge. Many customers and regions face infrastructure, economic, or operational constraints which highlight the fact that solutions are not one size fits all. manufacturing-today. com 53
