New Electric Motor Produced in Portugal Promises to Revolutionize the Automotive Market. The New Propulsor Works Both Electrically and Hybrid.

New news is exciting the automotive sector. It is about the announcement of the start of production of a new electric motor produced in Portugal. HORSE, the automotive solutions division of Renault, has begun the production of a new compact propulsor at its factory in Aveiro, Portugal. In this article, we will understand why this new electric motor could change the electric market.

New Propulsor from HORSE Delivers Up to 66 Horsepower

The new electric motor produced in Portugal was developed for applications in full hybrid and plug-in hybrid vehicles, offering 49 kW (66 hp) and torque of 212 Nm (21.6 kgfm). In fully electric mode, it allows vehicles to reach speeds of up to 130 km/h.

The new propulsor was developed to operate in conjunction with internal combustion engines from the HR12, HR16, and HR18 series from HORSE. Its configuration allows installation between the combustion engine and the transmission, supporting two modes of operation, being fully electric and hybrid.

In electric mode, the electric motor produced in Portugal directly drives the vehicle’s wheels. In hybrid mode, the new propulsor works in conjunction with the internal combustion engine, contributing to the system’s energy efficiency. During deceleration, the motor acts as a generator, converting electrical energy into energy stored in the battery.

To make the production of the new motor viable, the Aveiro factory received investments in four new production lines, allowing for the manufacturing of up to 160,000 units per year. One of the technologies implemented is a winding machine with three heads, developed to optimize the assembly of the motor core.

HORSE stated that the new facilities and technologies were developed to meet the growing demand for hybrid and electric propulsion systems, aligning with changes in the global automotive market. Each production line was designed for specific steps, such as machining motor components (housing, rotor shaft, and magnets) and final assembly.

The strategy reinforces the company’s position as a leader in the electrified propulsion sector, offering versatile solutions to meet the demands of OEMs and end consumers. With advanced design, impressive performance, and efficient production, the new electric motor produced in Portugal promises to redefine the standards of hybrid and plug-in vehicles in the global market.

Plans of the Renault Subsidiary for the Brazilian Market

In September, HORSE announced a new investment of R$ 200 million for the nationalization of the production of engine cylinder heads at its plant in São José dos Pinhais (PR).

This investment reinforces the company’s commitment to expanding its production chain in Brazil, focusing on 100% national production of the 1.3 turbo engine HR13, which began in November 2024.

This new production line will be responsible for producing 210,000 cylinder heads per year, using a gravity casting process, which provides greater efficiency and high quality standards. HORSE also expects to create 60 new jobs by 2026 with the full operation of the line.

Plans of the Renault Subsidiary for the Brazilian Market

A giant printer called the “Ferrari” of concrete has landed in Latin America and can already build a 120-square-meter house in just 48 hours, making the traditional construction site look like something from the last century.

Brazil will harvest a record crop of up to 357 million tons of grains, but it does not have the capacity to store a large part of it. The storage deficit has reached the highest level in history and is equivalent to almost the entire production of Argentina.

Four times faster than the Concorde, capable of taking passengers from New York to London in less than an hour at Mach 5.5, and with an engine that switches from turbojet to ramjet mid-flight at Mach 3.5, the Hermeus Quarterhorse went from paper to its first flight in just 19 months.

Under nearly 2 kilometers of ice in Antarctica, scientists have discovered an ancient landscape sculpted by rivers up to 60 million years ago, the size of Wales, preserved as a time capsule that could help predict the advance of ice towards the ocean.

She started by collecting oyster shells from restaurants and today she has already accumulated more than 10 tons to restore reefs, recover coastal habitats, and demonstrate how a common waste can become a tool for ocean conservation.

Bricklayers off the scaffolding? New system uses autonomous drones to position bricks and apply adhesive in the air, creating walls with two flying robots working as a team.

Noise in the sky frightened residents: NASA confirms that a meteor exploded over New England with a force equivalent to 230 tons of TNT

The paycheck that seemed impossible: São José employee receives R$ 7.94 after legal strike, while deductions by the City Hall affect over a thousand employees and become a target of inquiry in the City Council.

With only R$ 50 in his pocket and a dream, the 26-year-old Tocantins native Willian Gomes left Tocantins and has already cycled over 4,000 kilometers towards Ushuaia, at the southern tip of Argentina, without accepting a single ride in eight months.

Has the war with artificial intelligence already begun? The US Army tests armed robots in the Moroccan desert, uses drones with explosives, and showcases a system capable of reducing military decisions from hours to just 3 minutes.

The invisible flaw that protects banks, passwords, and messages may be numbered after a quantum experiment transforms imperfect randomness into numbers impossible to predict.
