"Renault and Geely's Horse Powertrain has revealed an all-in-one solution that can transform EVs into hybrids, plug-in hybrids, or extended-range EVs with minimal investments and changes to a car's architecture."
"The X-Range C15 Direct Drive incorporates a four-cylinder gas engine, a transmission, and two electric motors into a single flat enclosure that was designed to replace the rear electric motor of an EV."
"The two electric motors on Horse's new system are installed in a P1+P3 configuration, with a small unit fitted at the end of the engine's crankshaft and a bigger motor at the transmission's output shaft."
"The 1.5-liter gas engine can be specced as a naturally-aspirated lump with a 94-horsepower output or a turbocharged model that makes 161 hp."
