Recalling facts. After the opposition of Germany, heat engines will not be finally banned from 2035, but they must only use CO2 neutral synthetic fuel. Fans of electric cars and nothing but electric cars caught on immediately. LSynthetic fuel would be an aberration, we will never produce enough of it, the cost of energy is absurd, the price per liter is insane, and it will only be a solution for the rich. However, other manufacturers firmly believe in this. LThe Japanese manufacturer Mazda has joined the Rabit consortium, an acronym for the Biomass Innovation Research Association for Next Generation Automotive Fuels. mainly, research on CO2-neutral synthetic fuel.
Mazda, good solution for the benefit
After digging, we learn that Rabit was created by the Japanese company ENEOS and Toyota. The naysayers might say that Toyota is trying to save its hybrid model. But what can you blame Mazda for? This manufacturer has no other dogma, there is no other philosophy than to apply the right solution for the right use. That is why 1.2 liter engines were not installed in SUVs. That’s why they have an electric car that doesn’t play like “who has the biggest battery” and that’s why they just created 6-cylinder diesel that consumes less than 5.0 l/100 km. Mazda is not interested in political correctness, demagoguery, or a product developed by marketing. The brand is not driven by marketing, but by engineers. And, by the way, Mazda doesn’t sell supercars…
e-fuel: Porsche and Mazda
And yet, Mazda invests in e-fuel, as in hydrogen, in addition. Everyone may not believe it, but Mazda’s investment is like a guarantee of trust in synthetic fuel. We remind you this fuel is obtained from “recycled” CO2, from industrial activity using low-carbon electricity. Although they are still in their infancy, some manufacturers such as Porsche and now Mazda are firm believers in them. The Volkswagen Group brand is already selling its electric fuel and has high hopes for it allow thermal engines to be authorized after 2035. Because the advantage of e-fuel is that it can work with any conventional heat engine without the need for mechanical adaptationa great gift for the future…
