Toyota, Mazda and Subaru commit to carbon neutral engine development

The three brands confirmed they would “aim to optimise” engines with electric motors, electric drive units and batteries

Three major Japanese car manufacturers have committed to developing new engines in an attempt to decarbonise internal commission engines, with a renewed focus on hybridisation and carbon-neutral fuels. The three brands - Mazda, Subaru and Toyota - jointly confirmed they would “aim to optimise” engines with electric motors, electric drive units and batteries, which goes against the grain of brands transforming entirely to electric-only model line-ups.

“We will continue to offer customers exciting cars by honing internal combustion engines for the electrification era and expanding the multi-pathway possibilities for achieving carbon neutrality,” said Masahiro Moro, Mazda president and CEO. Subaru president and CEO Atsushi Osaki suggested the target of carbon neutrality was one that should be a primary focus in Japan.
