Mirko Bovo is a seasoned engineer with nearly two decades of experience in thermal management and temperature control for automotive powertrains. Since 2021, he has been serving as Technical Expert Thermal Management at Aurobay (Powertrain Engineering Sweden AB) a division of HORSE powertrain limited, where he focuses on advancing innovative solutions for efficient and reliable powertrain systems. Prior to joining Aurobay, Mirko spent over 15 years at Volvo Cars, as CAE engineer working extensively on design and development of Internal combustion engines and traction electric machines. In this role, he gained deep expertise in developing and optimizing cooling strategies for complex automotive systems, laying the foundation for his current work in next-generation hybrid and electric powertrains. With his extensive background, Mirko contributes to shaping the future of sustainable mobility by tackling the critical thermal challenges in modern vehicle technologies.

The Pop in Your Job:
Quoting Richard Feynman: “For a successful technology, reality must take precedence over public relations, for Nature cannot be fooled.” I find great interest in pleasure in contributing to fruitful technological development heavily relying on understanding of physics. Possibly my biggest strength is bridging numerical simulations and physical testing so that the contribution between these parts is greater than the sum.

Aurobay Sweden (formerly Powertrain Engineering Sweden AB) is based in Gothenburg and specializes in the design, development, and production of hybrid powertrains, ranging from conventional internal combustion engines to pure electric. Aurobay relies on over 100 years’ experience in the production of light duty powertrains in Sweden and more recently in China. With operations in Sweden and close collaboration with Aurobay China, the company combines Swedish and Chinese engineering expertise to deliver next-generation hybrid propulsion solutions. Since 2024, Aurobay has been part of HORSE Powertrain Limited, a global joint venture between Geely and Renault Group. Within this network, Aurobay contributes its engineering heritage and international footprint to advancing sustainable mobility through hybrid and low-emission powertrain systems.
