A Game-Changer in Hybrid Powertrain Technology
Horse Powertrain is set to disrupt the automotive world with its groundbreaking Future Hybrid Concept, officially launching at Auto Shanghai 2025. The new hybrid powertrain integrates an internal combustion engine (ICE), electric motor, and transmission into one streamlined unit. Designed for flexibility and global compatibility, the system works seamlessly with existing Battery Electric Vehicle (BEV) platforms. Its unique architecture allows automakers to hybridize BEV models without costly retooling or new production lines, aligning with the shift toward technology-neutral solutions in mobility.
Engineered for Efficiency, Compatibility, and Performance
This future-forward hybrid system brings notable advantages to automotive OEMs. It supports multiple fuel types—including gasoline, ethanol flex fuels, methanol, and synthetic fuels—making it adaptable to various regional energy strategies. The compact design enables plug-and-play installation into existing vehicle platforms. OEMs can now offer hybrid variants alongside BEVs with minimal structural changes. As a result of its all-in-one design, the system simplifies conventional hybrid setups, thereby significantly reducing both production time and cost.
Meeting Global Demands for Clean, Adaptable Mobility
In addition, Horse Powertrain’s Future Hybrid Concept addresses the rising demand for cleaner and more adaptable propulsion systems. It incorporates cutting-edge power electronics, an 800V charging booster, and a pre-chamber ignition system. Built for global deployment, this powertrain anticipates compliance with evolving safety, emissions, and cooling standards. Its compatibility with refrigerants like R290 and integration with next-gen heat pumps positions it as a future-ready solution for OEMs worldwide.
Horse Powertrain’s Global Impact and Vision for 2028
With 17 manufacturing sites, five R&D centers, and nearly 20,000 employees, Horse Powertrain is well-equipped to scale its innovation. The company plans to roll out vehicles equipped with the Future Hybrid Concept by 2028. CEO Matias Giannini emphasizes the importance of flexible, low-emission powertrain solutions that allow manufacturers to meet environmental goals without compromising efficiency. This revolutionary powertrain marks a turning point for hybrid mobility and solidifies Horse Powertrain’s role as a global leader in sustainable automotive technology.
