As part of the transaction, Aramco and affiliate Valvoline Global Operations will collaborate with Horse Powertrain on innovations in ICE technology, fuels, and lubricants,\u201d according to the press release.<\/p>\n

What they said:<\/strong> \u201cAt Aramco, we are pursuing a number of potential innovative solutions, from lower-carbon synthetic fuels to more efficient internal combustion engines, as we look for opportunities to make a difference. Our investment in Horse Powertrain builds on our considerable R&D in this field,\u201d said Aramco Executive Vice President of Technology & Innovation, Ahmad Al Khowaiter.<\/p>\n

About Horse Powertrain: <\/strong>The London-based JV was set up to manufacture next-generation powertrain solutions, including internal combustion engines that use alternative fuels such as ethanol, methanol, and hydrogen, as well as full hybrids and long-range plug-in hybrids, according to its website. It currently operates 17 global plants and five R&D centers with 10 industrial customers in 130 countries, according to the release. It expects to produce some 5 mn powertrain units annually.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
