Horse Powertrain Develops AI Factory Solution for the Automotive Industry

According to Horse Powertrain, which focuses on powertrain technology, the kAIros project aims to reduce time-to-market by nearly 50%, cut low-value process work by 40%, and improve design cycle efficiency by 25%.

AI Factory supports industrial AI applications.

A key part of the concept is the generation of training data, which helps continuously improve models and digital twins over time.

The AI Factory includes:

• NVIDIA RTX PRO servers equipped with NVIDIA RTX PRO 6000 Blackwell Server Edition GPUs
• Google Cloud NVIDIA RTX 6000 Blackwell Server Edition GPUs
• NVIDIA AI software, including CUDA-X, Omniverse, and Cosmos, helping accelerate application development across the business
• NVIDIA RTX PRO servers equipped with NVIDIA RTX PRO 6000 Blackwell Server Edition graphics processors

kAIros also supports the development of physical AI by integrating real-world operations into virtual systems in real time. This helps systems understand their environment, supports autonomous decision-making, and enables direct collaboration with cobots, autonomous vehicles, and smart machines on the factory floor.

“Our goal is to turn data into insights, simulations into real value, and innovations into a competitive advantage. Horse Powertrain aims to be more agile and reliable because we understand that AI is not just a tool and that kAIros is one of Europe’s first AI factories for the automotive industry,” says Patrice Haettel, Chief Operating Officer of Horse Powertrain and CEO of Horse Technologies, in the company’s press release.
