Recent statements from car manufacturers concern electric cars or hybrid vehicles. Toyota, Mazda and SubaruDuring a conference in Japan it was announced that they were working on a new combustion engine. These companies, each with different expertise, aim to both speed up engine development processes and reduce costs by working together.

On the other hand, these three companies will not operate according to a single model, each will develop its own model “signature engine” will work on improvement. Toyota Four-cylinder in-line engines will be used. Mazda It will work on the rotary engine. Subaru will develop a horizontally reciprocal boxer engine. The new powerplants will compete with many carbon rivals.

Sample engines were also on display

With the promotion, all three companies About the engines they built He showed an example. Mazda introduced single- and dual-shaft rotary drive units for electric motors. These motors have no mechanical connection to the wheels. Mazda stated that these engines are currently being used in next-generation engines. While Toyota introduced its 2-liter and 1.5-liter engines under development, Subaru showed off its next-generation hybrid system on the camouflaged Crosstrek.

On the other hand, the companies’ statement noted that competition between them continued despite the cooperation. Again, all three companies will have smaller engines. Designs with more advanced aerodynamics will therefore also be possible. Maybe a new Supra or Miata legend will be born this way, who knows?
