Developing Technologies for the Next Generation

Electric Vehicles
Mazda will begin leasing the Demio EV in October 2012 in Japan. The Demio EV is an independently developed electric vehicle based on the Mazda Demio (Mazda2). Using a highly efficient lithium-ion battery and Mazda's unique electric motor, the Demio EV delivers an exhilarating driving experience, including powerful acceleration, precise handling and a comfortable ride. It also achieves an outstanding driving range of 200 kilometers (JC08 mode test cycle, measured by Mazda). The Demio EV maintains the same cabin space and cargo carrying capacity as the base model Demio. As a zero-emission vehicle that emits no CO2 or other pollutants, Mazda intends to lease approximately 100 units in total, mainly to local governments and corporate customers in the Chugoku region of Western Japan (where Mazda's Head Ofceis located). a

Mazda is developing multiple practical solutions to the issues facing the automobile industry.

Development of the Hydrogen Rotary Engine

Hydrogen is clean energy that can be generated from various sources. Mazda has already introduced two models incorporating the Mazda hydrogen rotary engine: the Mazda RX-8 Hydrogen RE and the Mazda Premacy Hydrogen RE Hybrid. When the eco-friendly Mazda hydrogen rotary engine runs on hydrogen fuel, it emits no CO2. It also features a convenient dual-fuel system, so the car can run on gasoline if there is no hydrogen available. In Japan, Mazda has cumulatively delivered twelve of these vehicles on a lease basis to Iwatani Corporation, Hiroshima Prefecture, the City of Hiroshima, and Yamaguchi Prefecture. Mazda also delivered three of these vehicles in Norway and received much praise. b Hydrogen Rotary Engine & Hybrid System Mazda Premacy Hydrogen RE Hybrid incorporates a hybrid system that improves energy efciency, delivers improved acceleration and has a driving range of 200 km with hydrogen.

Compatibility with Bioethanol Mixed Fuel

Mixed fuel consisting partly of bioethanol, which is made from plants, is attracting attention in North America and Europe for its effectiveness in reducing CO2 emissions. Mazda is proud to sell vehicles that are compatible with this eco-friendly fuel.

Current Status

Mazda vehicles that are compatible with E10 (gasoline mixed with 10% ethanol) are sold in North America and Europe. In Thailand, Mazda3 models compatible with E20 (gasoline mixed with 20% ethanol) became available in FY2007, and Mazda2 models corresponding to E20 became available in FY2009. CX-5 models equipped with a SKYACTIV-D 2.2 clean diesel engine that is compatible with B5 (diesel mixed with 5% biodiesel fuel) became available in Japan in FY March 2012.
