Horse Powertrain has upgraded the HORSE V20 – a 4-cylinder 2.0-liter gasoline engine.
Two variants are based on a single architecture: a 400-volt plug-in hybrid and a 48-volt mild hybrid
Latest generation of plug-in hybrid engines reduces fuel consumption by seven percent compared to the previous engine.
Both variants meet stricter emissions legislation in the U.S., Europe and China.
Production started on a new dedicated assembly line at the company’s Skövde plant in Sweden.
