Horse Powertrain
vehicle engine manufacturer
Horse Powertrain Limited is a joint venture holding aimed at producing powertrains, including internal combustion engines (ICE) and hybrid systems. The venture holding was established in May 2024 and is equally owned by Renault and Geely (including Geely Holding and Geely Auto). It is headquartered in London, United Kingdom.
The company has two major subsidiaries, including Aurobay, a former Geely-owned powertrain company operating in Sweden and China with 9,000 employees, and Horse, a former Renault powertrain division with 9,000 employees. In total the company has 19,000 employees.
History
The joint venture project was announced in November 2022 and codenamed Horse project by Renault and Rubik project by Geely. The Renault Group and Geely namesake brands would be the first to receive the powertrains and they would later be supplied to Dacia, Volvo, Lynk & Co and Proton cars, as well as Nissan and Mitsubishi Motors ones. Sourcing to third parties is also part of the plan. According to CEO Matias Giannini, Horse is to fill technological and geographical gaps as automakers themselves focus on EVs, expecting over half of new vehicles sold by 2040 to still be equipped with an internal combustion engine.
In July 2023, Renault announced it had spun off its ICE and hybrid powertrain operations into a Horse-named subsidiary based in Madrid, Spain.
Begin with the source’s own compact description: “Horse Powertrain” is vehicle engine manufacturer. The dossier treats that line as a proposition to test through Horse, Powertrain and vehicle, not as a finished interpretation.
Why this record matters
The phrase “vehicle engine manufacturer” supplies a clear boundary for inquiry. It also exposes the unanswered questions: who defined that boundary, when it became stable and which sources sit outside it.
Named sources, stable identifiers and responsible institutions provide the strongest route from overview to verifiable evidence. The source revision retrieved here is dated Sep 16, 2026. The linked authority identifier is Q115802742. None of the 2 selected statements returned an explicit reference. The first chronological checks are 2024, 2022, 2040 and 2023.
Overview language is designed for orientation and should not be treated as a substitute for the evidence cited beneath it. The source lead contains qualifying language; that uncertainty should survive quotation, summary and reuse. Authority statements aid reconciliation but still require their own references, qualifiers and ranks to be checked.
