The Horse Powertrain, a company resulting from the partnership between Renault and Geely, specializes in the production of combustion engines and hybrid vehicles. The company has now revealed a new engine called B20, which stands out for its ability to function in extreme submersion conditions. The engine was developed to continue operating even when completely submerged in water, an unusual characteristic for internal combustion engines. This innovation represents a significant advancement in the resistance and reliability of combustion engines, demonstrating that this technology can still evolve and surprise. The B20 can work for 30 minutes at a depth of 1.1 meters underwater, maintaining all its operational functions without damage.
