Horse Powertrain, a global specialist in low-emission propulsion systems, has invested €45m to expand cylinder-head casting processes at its plant in Valladolid, Spain. The new aluminium casting facility will be the first in the country to cast cylinder heads using the tilting gravity die casting (TGDC) process. Compared with traditional high-pressure die casting, TGDC enhances the structural integrity of finished components. Once this investment comes online, Valladolid’s annual production capacity for cylinder heads will rise from 300,000 to 360,000 and yield 150 new roles.
