Mazda to revive the rotary engine – doesn’t excite you? Of course, it does. Engine boss of Mazda confirmed the resuscitating the rotary engine again.
But this time, it won’t be a simpler rotary engine; the Mazda boss is
thinking of molding it in the form of a range extender. As per the
engine boss of Mazda, the so-called modification would be visible in the
forthcoming electric model that will be launched in the year 2019.
Mitsuo Hitomi, the Managing Executive Officer at Mazda Motor Corp., confirmed this news while giving an interview to Autocar. While
confirming the news of the revival of rotary technology, Mitsuo added
that the car will be debut as recreation in the Tokyo Motor Show.
In the interview, he said that it won’t be logical enough to use the
rotary engine as the range extender. Rather when the rotary is lace
into, it can act more wisely compared to other company’s range extender.
According to him once setting on the rotary engine, the vehicle can be
more efficient as an electric vehicle. Although in the same interview
with Autocar, Hitomi revealed about their efforts of advancing with an
all-new standalone rotary engine. He also exclaimed that they hold no
thoughts on pairing up the engine with any future model yet. He said
that they have no plans in adjusting the engine in any of their actual
product but they are in the process of developing a standalone rotary
engine.
Setting aside the new evidence in the rotary chronicle, the main
focus of Mazda is developing the new-gen Skyactiv-X petrol engines.
The engine is said to be featured with compression ignition along with
spark ignition. As for the claims made by the Japanese company, their
new powertrains will be spotless as in an engine one throughput the
lifespan of the vehicle. It is expected that as Hitomi is speaking for
the second time about their new invention of rotary engine functioning
as the range extender, the spinning-Dorito powertrains will return
soon.
