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.,

At 48 volts, a VTES electric supercharger will transform 7kW of battery power into a highly boosted charge of air for downsized gasoline and diesel engines. There will be no torque deficit or other tradeoffs from essential engine downsizing and higher gearing, which now dominates the development of internal combustion engines.

We’re focused on the customers’ most critical issue—smaller packaging. The new system is expected to be in production vehicles by 2011. This allows our customers to reduce vehicle weight up to 300 lbs. 136 kg], which translates into improved fuel economy and enhanced performance and safety for the end consumer.

In fact, we reckon there are almost 20 load-haulers either confirmed or said to be on the way to production. Being built at a new Gigafactory in Austin Texas, first US Cybertruck deliveries are scheduled for production late in 2023, having been delayed on multiple occasions. Let’s check out the list. Will it come to Australia?

The flywheel is downsized to give a continuum between shift of gears, else unlike a ICE engine, when you take your leg off the pedal, the motor goes zero torque when you are re-engaging gears. I can understand the need for maintaining capital cost parity with an equivalent diesel tractor. The pack weighs 60 kg.
