However, while Mazda plans to offer hybrid vehicles in the medium-term, its engineers are pushing hard to increase the efficiencies of both the gasoline and diesel platforms, moving toward what they call “the ideal Internal Combustion Engine.” Extreme compression ratio rather than downsizing. Although downsizing—i.e.,

The company is also the thermodynamic efficiency of gasoline engines using a suite of technologies that include downsizing, turbocharging, direct injection, variable valve timing and cylinder deactivation. In 2012, the company realized energy-efficiency improvements of 2% from 2011, and carbon emissions intensity decreased 2%.

million, up 43% from 2011. Engine downsizing and weight reduction represent around 30% of that potential collectively. Vehicle downsizing has enabled considerable efficiency improvements, particularly in OECD regions and since 2005. Around half of coal-fired power plants built in 2011 use inefficient technologies.

The PHEV does not require the heavy, costly batteries required by other electric cars, nor does it suffer from a limited range or poor freeway performance. Though the PHEV combines the two types of energy and power, it is not merely a temporary “transition” between gasoline and diesel cars to pure electric cars.
