Mazda Confirms New Rotary Engine Powertrain Option For MX-30 via insideevs.com
Mazda decided to use in the range-extender version a rotary engine, which the Japanese have the know-how .
The rotary engine has advantages in size and weight for a certain power level but is not as efficient as other, more popular engine types. So it's a perfect fit for a vehicle that needs a backup to use from time to time. When used only rarely , lower efficiency is not an issue, while less weight is a big advantage every day.
This is why Mazda decided to use an electric generator powered by a newly-developed rotary engine and announced it as the"an option" and that the vehicle will retain plug-in capability . In other words, it will be a rechargeable series-hybrid powertrain. That's important because there are also series hybrids without charging capability, like the Nissan e-Power systems. Mazda's system reminds us of the BMW i3 REx .
