Horse Powertrain makes European debut at IAA Mobility 2025 in Munich

Beijing (Gasgoo)- Horse Powertrain, the joint venture established in May 2024 by Geely and Renault, made its first European appearance at IAA Mobility 2025 in Munich, held Sept. 8–12. The company showcased a full lineup of next-generation powertrain solutions covering hybrid systems, range extenders, hydrogen, and alternative fuels.

Among the highlights was the global premiere of Horse's gallium nitride (GaN) range extender generator and amorphous motor technologies. Both are designed to offer automakers multiple technological pathways for decarbonization.

The company also staged a technical roadshow, unveiling an upgraded version of its Future Hybrid Concept, first shown at Auto Shanghai earlier this year. The new performance version (P1+P3 layout) measures 740 mm wide, while the ultra-compact version (P2 layout) is only 650 mm wide. Horse says the solutions can help automakers cut R&D and retooling costs by 20%, with mass production slated for 2027. A three-cylinder variant is also under development for smaller vehicles.

In the intelligent hybrid segment, Horse presented its B15 (BHE15TDB) hybrid-dedicated engine paired with the 3DHT160 e-drive system. Already deployed in the Lynk & Co 08 EM-P, the setup delivers up to 436 kW of maximum power and 905 N·m of peak torque, now entering the European market to support Lynk & Co's global expansion.

On the other hand, Horse's amorphous motor achieves peak efficiency of 98.22% with core losses reduced by more than 50%, and is slated for use in next-generation super-hybrid systems by 2027. Its GaN range extender reduces system volume and axial length by 20%, with engineering samples to be supplied to overseas customers in 2026.
