hofer technology supports Horse Powertrain in the development of a new high-performance transmission
With many years of experience in developing high-performance transmission systems and software solutions for exclusive vehicles, hofer technology is among the leading powertrain technology partners in this demanding niche market. This experience is particularly valuable in projects involving high mechanical complexity, short development timelines, demanding safety requirements, and a high degree of integration. This combination of deep software expertise, transmission know-how, calibration capabilities, functional safety, vehicle-level implementation, and long-standing industrialization expertise is being applied directly in the collaboration with Horse Powertrain. Together, the two partners are working to implement the solution with speed and technical precision.
"This joint project is an important step in high-performance powertrain development," says Johann Paul HOFER, founder of the hofer technology group. "We are pleased to bring our expertise and development experience from numerous renowned projects into the collaboration with Horse Powertrain, and to work together on the implementation of a technically demanding and entirely new transmission solution with high performance and precise control."
