The Japanese automakers aim to develop small internal-combustion engines optimized for motors and batteries.
Toyota, Mazda, and Subaru on Tuesday announced plans for joint engine development aimed at reducing emissions.
The goal of the project is to achieve carbon neutrality with internal-combustion engines, allowing these engines to stay in production in a future of tighter global emissions standards, the three automakers said in a press release.One aspect of this will be developing smaller, more fuel-efficient engines, which will also"allow for even lower hoods, improving design possibilities and aerodynamic performance," the automakers said.
The three automakers will also continue exploring alternatives to conventional fossil fuels, including synthetic fuels, biofuels, and liquid hydrogen. This follows another, in which Subaru and Toyota announced plans to test BRZ and GR86 sports cars, respectively, run on synthetic fuel, while Mazda contributed a biodiesel-fueled Demio hatchback..
Other automakers have also shown interest in synthetic fuel, also known as e-fuel, which aims to achieve carbon neutrality by absorbing carbon from the atmosphere in its production process, cancelling out any emissions from burning the fuel. Porsche announced earlier this month that its Mobil 1 Supercup one-make race series is
