This corresponds to a 23% reduction in fuel consumption and, therefore, CO 2 output.). Since this energy loss is primarily thermal in nature and can be attributed to the exhaust, cooling system, and engine and transmission surfaces, Mazda’s R&D team’s central focus is on improving the engine’s thermal efficiency cost-effectively.

In October 2015, the US Department of Energy’s (DOE) launched a broad, joint effort to co-optimize the development of efficient engines and low greenhouse-gas fuels for on-road vehicles with the goal of reducing petroleum consumption by 30% by 2030 beyond what is already targeted. We’re not going to say “Ethanol.
