Toyota Motor Corporation, Subaru Corporation and Mazda Motor Corporation have committed to developing new engines tailored to electrification and carbon neutrality. These engines aim to optimise integration with electric drive units, transforming vehicle packaging with more compact designs and decarbonising internal combustion engines by making them compatible with various carbon-neutral fuels.
This partnership highlights the role future engines will play in achieving carbon neutrality. The next generation of engines will not only improve standalone performance, but also optimise integration with electric drive units, leveraging the advantages of each.The new engines will revolutionise vehicle packaging with more compact designs, allowing for lower hoods and improved aerodynamics.
These engines will be enhanced to run on CN fuels, which have net zero CO2 emissions across their lifecycle. CN fuels include e-fuel made from hydrogen and carbon dioxide, and biofuels derived from biomass.
