• As part of the Agreement, HORSE grants license rights to Dumarey Group to purchase, use and sell the current and future HORSE 4-cylinder Diesel engines for Dumarey Group customers.

• The partnership between HORSE and Dumarey Group provides an avenue for potential future collaboration between the parties.

• With its proven technical expertise, the Dumarey Group – which includes former General Motors Global Propulsion Systems’ Engineering Center – will integrate the engines defined in the Strategic Agreement into other OEM vehicle platforms.

HORSE, a global innovation partner for powertrain solutions, has signed a strategic agreement with Dumarey Group. The partnership is based on HORSE’s extensive experience in engine production and Dumarey Automotive Italia SPA (formerly PUNCH Torino) expertise in advanced propulsion systems and embedded controls.

As part of the new agreement, HORSE and Dumarey Automotive Italia will co-develop HORSE’s flagship 2.0-litre four-cylinder turbodiesel engine (M920) with manual transmission, readying it for Euro7 front-wheel drive and EuroVI rear-wheel drive applications.

This agreement will set the foundation for further potential future cooperations between the Parties on low Carbon fuels, including hydrogen-fueled internal combustion engines, for which the Dumarey Group, through its brand Hydrocells, has gained a considerable expertise.

Patrice Haettel, CEO of HORSE, stated, “I am delighted to start 2024 by announcing this agreement with Dumarey Group. As a leading supplier of low-emission powertrain solutions and technologies, this latest agreement demonstrates our ability to form strategic partnerships with companies around the world. There is no one size fits all solution for a sustainable future, and we are committed to supplying high quality and highly efficient products that meet the demands of our customers. I believe this new agreement will result in great mutual success for both businesses.”

Pierpaolo Antonioli, Chief Technology Officer of the Dumarey Group, stated: “In the face of the energy transition and extended product life cycles, we must pioneer innovative solutions that seamlessly blend the efficiency of Internal Combustion Engine technology with the sustainability of decarbonization. Collaboration among companies is paramount to achieving this goal, enabling knowledge sharing, cost reduction, and accelerated innovation.”
