Toyota, Japanese rivals promise more efficient next-gen ICE engines amid the shift to EVs

Despite the market's shift towards electric vehicles,

Toyota, Subaru, and Mazda are committed to developing next-generation ICE engines tailored to electrification.

The new engines are designed with integrated EV components, such as motors, batteries, and other electric drive units, to align with the pursuit of carbon neutrality.

These next-gen ICE engines are expected to be smaller and more compact,

fitting Toyota's new body styles for its next-gen EVs,

enabling improved aerodynamics for better performance and fuel efficiency.

The companies share a dedication to a "multi-pathway approach" to achieving carbon neutrality,

including e-fuel, biofuels, and liquid hydrogen.

Despite the global shift towards all-electric vehicles,

Toyota and its Japanese counterparts are investing in ICE engines,

aiming to provide diverse options for achieving carbon neutrality.
