Horse Powertrain, a joint venture between Renault and Geely Automobile, unveiled an integrated powertrain system that can convert EVs into hybrids, plug-in hybrids and extended-range EVs while keeping an EV-only platform. InsideEVs reported the company introduced the X-Range C15 Direct Drive, designed to replace a rear electric motor and reduce structural changes and investment. The unit integrates a gasoline engine, transmission and two motors, supports all-wheel drive and can add power electronics options.

Tmap Mobility said on Tuesday that cumulative vehicles fitted with its in-car navigation solution, Tmap Auto, exceeded 1 million. It marked 14 years since it first supplied a navigation solution to automakers. The company said its infotainment strategy, integrating an AI agent, apps and content, helped drive growth. Tmap Mobility said it supplies more than 20 auto brands and plans to advance Tmap Auto into an AI mobility agent.
