Horse’s new range extender engine

Powertrain company, Horse, has released its new 1.5-litre petrol engine, the C15. The new motor comes packaged with an integrated generator, inverter and cooling package and is designed to be used as a range extender for electric vehicles. 

The entire unit measures just 500 x 550 x 275mm in its naturally aspirated form. However, there is a bigger turbocharged version to be used in heavier vehicles with more space and more power demands. Horse has designed the unit so manufacturers can more easily adapt their current electric vehicles to incorporate a range extender internal combustion engine.
