HORSE has commenced production of its cutting-edge eMotor at its Aveiro facility in Portugal, marking a significant milestone in hybrid and plug-in hybrid technology. The compact, radial flux eMotor delivers up to 49kW of power and 212Nm of torque, with capabilities to power vehicles at speeds of up to 130km/h in EV mode. This innovation reinforces HORSE’s commitment to providing efficient, sustainable solutions for next-generation mobility.
Key Highlights:
- Advanced production capabilities: Four new production lines at the Aveiro facility enable a capacity of up to 160,000 eMotors annually, featuring precision tools like a three-head winding machine for enhanced efficiency and accuracy.
- Impressive performance specifications: The eMotor delivers maximum power of 49kW and 212Nm of torque, supporting hybrid and plug-in hybrid applications with both 100% electric and hybrid driving modes.
- Dual driving modes: In electric mode, the eMotor powers the vehicle at speeds up to 130km/h, while in hybrid mode, it boosts the internal combustion engine for better acceleration and fuel efficiency. It also recovers kinetic energy during deceleration.
- Strategic focus on electrification: The eMotor is designed for use in HORSE’s hybrid powertrain systems, leveraging the HR12, HR16, and HR18 internal combustion engines.
Patrice Haettel, CEO of HORSE, stated, “The start of eMotor production at Aveiro reinforces HORSE’s commitment to delivering efficient powertrains using the latest technology. With its compact design, and the ability to work in 100% electric mode, this powerful and efficient motor is perfect for many types of hybrid vehicle. Once again, HORSE has demonstrated its credentials as the ideal partner for our customers on their ongoing electrification journeys.”
The production of the eMotor aligns with HORSE’s dedication to advancing hybrid and electrified mobility solutions. With eight manufacturing plants and three R&D centers globally, HORSE continues to innovate in powertrain systems, supporting the transition to sustainable mobility. Its parent company, Horse Powertrain, brings together global expertise with 17 plants and five R&D centers under the shared ownership of Renault Group and Geely.
