Toyota, Mazda, and Subaru Announce New Engines in Push for Carbon Neutrality

Updated: May 28, 2024 at 3:35am ET

In a joint conference held in Japan on May 28, Toyota, Mazda, and Subaru announced their plans to develop new internal combustion engines. The three automakers aim to improve the efficiency and compatibility of these engines with carbon-neutral fuels such as liquid hydrogen, biofuel, and synthetic fuel.

Toyota is focusing on new inline-four engines for future models. Mazda is exploring rotary engines for electric vehicle applications, which currently serve as generators. Subaru plans to enhance the horizontally opposed boxer engine.

Mazda displayed single- and dual-rotor engines at the conference, while Toyota showcased a pair of inline-four engines: a 1.5-liter unit and a larger 2.0-liter engine. Subaru brought a next-generation hybrid system combined with a camouflaged Crosstrek prototype.

The trio intends to integrate motors, batteries, and other electric drive units into these next-gen ICEs to deliver better performance and lower hoods for improved aerodynamics. The new engines will enable future models to have more design freedom while maintaining or even improving efficiency.

Toyota's CEO Koji Sato expressed hope that these engines would contribute to the world's transition towards carbon neutrality.

    The article contains a few informal fallacies and appeals to authority. It presents Toyota's announcement of new engine technology as an alternative to fully electric vehicles, implying that this is a valid option for achieving carbon neutrality. The author also quotes Toyota's CEO and other industry executives as if their statements are factual without critically evaluating them.
    • . . . the car manufacturer giant announced it would offer lean compact engines that also run on so-called green fuels like hydrogen and bioethanol, or get paired with zero-emissions electric motors in hybrids.
    • Toyota’s Chief Executive Koji Sato said the “engine is optimized for the electrification era” with hopes of helping push the world into “carbon neutrality.”
    • In future hybrids, the electric motor is set to become the main driving power, and the new engine will be designed to take a lesser role and help it along.
    • Mazda said that its prized rotary engine, introduced more than 50 years ago, was being adapted for electric vehicles.
