The Horse Powertrain joint venture presented a new engine concept for the global automotive market. The project achieves a consumption of less than 3.3 liters per 100 kilometers driven in standardized tests. The measurement follows the criteria of the WLTP cycle, used as a reference in the European industry. The technology achieves a thermal efficiency of 44.2%. The index easily surpasses the sector’s conventional average. Engenheiros consider the brand a significant technical advance for internal combustion engines.

The development results from the strategic partnership between the automakers Renault and Geely. The equipment uses fully renewable fuel supplied by the Spanish company Repsol. The innovation represents a fundamental technical step towards reducing polluting gas emissions into the atmosphere. The automotive sector is looking for viable and immediate alternatives before the complete transition to pure electric vehicles. The project balances mechanical performance with environmental responsibility.
