BEVs, and automotive brands are having to adjust to this reality. It can also depend on geography; for nations with large rural areas without strong grid infrastructure, hybrid vehicles are a practical and cost-effective solution, whereas in regions with surplus grid power, hydrogen and e-fuels are a great decarbonization solution. Alongside infrastructure, our product range includes combustion engines that run on low-carbon fuels including methanol and ethanol, and we’ re very enthusiastic about flex fuels, with the global flex-fuel engine market projected to reach $ 109 billion by 2030.”
Horse is also developing the Future Hybrid Concept, a groundbreaking powertrain that combines an internal combustion engine, electric motor, and transmission into one compact, fully integrated unit.“ The system is lightweight and modular, fitting within current BEV architectures and allowing automakers to respond more dynamically to shifting
customer demand,” Ingo elaborates.“ Fuel flexibility is another key feature, as the powertrain can run on a variety of fuels from traditional gasoline and ethanol flex fuels to pure methanol and newer synthetic fuels.”
Summarizing his thoughts on the powertrain industry and its net-zero ambitions, Ingo concludes:“ What really sets us apart is our ability to go beyond individual components and deliver full powertrain system integration. We’ re not just developing engines, transmissions, or electric motors in isolation; we’ re optimizing and integrating components into complete, high-performance powertrain systems. At Horse, we believe there is no‘ one-size-fits-all’ approach to powertrain development, and as such, our vision is to offer many different paths to Net Zero, with the scale, expertise and innovation to deliver in every market.” ■
