On May 9, HORSE announced its first major partnership with HABAŞ, Turkey. Both have signed a multi-year deal for HORSE to supply its M920 RWD 2.0-litre turbo diesel engines to HABAŞ for its debut light commercial vehicles at its new Manisa facility, Turkey.
The 2.0-litre four-cylinder engine delivers an output of 170 PS and 380 Nm of torque. Innovative features include common rail injection at 2,500 bar for precise fuel delivery and a variable vane turbine turbocharger for optimal response at all engine speeds. The advanced powertrain meets strict Euro 6d+e emissions regulations and is also designed to use the latest B10 diesel with 10% biofuel content, reducing carbon footprint.
