Toyota, Subaru, Mazda Aim For Carbon-Neutral Future In Engine Development: Details

Toyota Motor Corporation TM, along with Subaru Corporation FUJHF FUJHY,  and Mazda Motor Corporation MZDAF MZDAY, have committed to developing engines designed for electrification and carbon neutrality.

The new engines will optimize integration with electric motors, batteries, and other drive components, while also enhancing vehicle design with more compact configurations.

These companies are expanding their options to decarbonize internal combustion engines by making them compatible with various carbon-neutral fuels.

They are working to ensure a future for supply chains and jobs connected to engines. Through extreme conditions in racing, they have broadened powertrain and fuel options, including vehicles running on liquid hydrogen and carbon-neutral fuels.

The new generation of engines will not only enhance standalone performance but also optimize their integration with electric drive units.
