Toyota, Subaru and Mazda will develop carbon-neutral gasoline engines that will allow them to continue catering to consumers everywhere. Auto123 has more.
While automakers have committed to making huge investments in electrification, some are finding it wise to keep their foot in the door when it comes to gasoline engines.
The companies say the new powertrains will incorporate electric elements – which would suggest they’re focusing on hybrid and plug-in hybrid solutions. However, achieving carbon neutrality will require going further. Hence the plan to “decarbonize ICEs by making them compatible with various carbon-neutral fuels.” This could be a combination of liquid hydrogen, synthetic fuels or other solutions.
The three also see the carbon problem in a certain light. For them, the combustion engine is not the enemy - carbon emissions are. Toyota has already extolled the virtues of hydrogen-powered combustion engines in motorsport. Mazda is also using motorsport to experiment with alternative fuels, for instance the biodiesel-powered Mazda 3 Gr.4.
