Horse Technologies (Horse Powertrain) is an independent Renault-Geely joint venture developing and producing hybrid and combustion engines, transmissions and range extenders for automotive OEMs.
Horse Technologies, operating as Horse Powertrain, is an independent powertrain technology company formed in 2024 by Renault Group and Geely. It develops and produces hybrid and combustion engines, transmissions, and range extenders for automotive OEMs pursuing decarbonisation. The company is headquartered in Madrid, Spain, and combines the heritage of its two founding groups.
Its product portfolio comprises combustion engines compatible with fuels including hydrogen and synthetic alternatives, hybrid powertrain systems, transmissions, and range-extender solutions. Technical domains span powertrain engineering, hybrid systems, hydrogen fuel technology, synthetic fuels and decarbonisation pathways. The company operates 18 manufacturing plants and 5 R&D centres across three continents, with additional sites in Gothenburg, Sweden, and Hangzhou Bay, China, under the Aurobay Technologies name.
Horse Technologies is structured as an independent entity, separate from Renault Group and Geely. Its work is oriented around practical, diverse routes to net zero, on the assumption that around half of vehicles on the road in 2040 will still be combustion- or hybrid-powered. The company's stated emphasis is on delivering performance and accessibility alongside cleaner transportation.
