Mazda to Display All-new Mazda3 Powertrain Derivatives at Tokyo Motor Show

Mazda will showcase the recently launched Mazda3 with a variety of engine types at the 2013 Tokyo Motor Show.  The latest model is currently being offered as a 'multi-solution' in response to varying fuel types. The Japanese carmaker will present for the first time a Mazda3 SKYACTIV-CNG Concept, which runs on compressed natural gas (CNG).  The displays will show Mazda's most recent technologies and hint at the direction of future models.

The Mazda3 is a core model in the Mazda line-up accounting for more than thirty per cent of the company’s global sales volume, and it is the third of Mazda’s new generation vehicles to be completely redesigned. Mazda is proposing the new Mazda3 as a ‘multi-solution.’

Based on an increasing demand for CNG-powered vehicles, the SKYACTIV-CNG Concept adopts a dual fuel system that runs on both gasoline and CNG. Since CNG engines burn fuel at high pressure and the SKYACTIV-G gasoline engine already achieves a high compression ratio it can easily be modified for CNG with only minor modifications.

Vehicles with CNG engines reduce emissions by about 20 per cent compared to those with gasoline engines of the same displacement.

Also on stage in Tokyo will be the Mazda Atenza (Mazda6) ASV-5 which is equipped with futuristic safety systems. In a world-first, one of these systems enables automobiles with an in-car autonomous sensor to communicate with streetcars, helping to prevent collisions and support a smooth and safe flow of traffic.
