Mazda has launched all its machinery to carry out an ambitious product offensive in the field of fully electric mobility. The Japanese manufacturer will introduce three new electric cars for the year 2025. Some models that will accompany the current Mazda MX-30.
The time has come for Mazda
start up all the machinery with the aim of carrying out an ambitious product offensive that allows it to increase its brief and limited offer of electric cars. At the moment the Japanese manufacturer only markets an electric model in Europe. The Mazda MX-30. A model that, on the other hand, plays a testimonial role as far as sales are concerned.
In a short space of time, a significant number of 100% electric models with the Mazda logo will be introduced. Specific, Mazda plans to launch three new electric cars by 2025. These new models that will see the light in just a few years will make use of current electrical technology. It is a determining factor to take into account since it will be from that date when the brand goes a step further in technological terms.
Mazda’s Skyactiv EV platform for electric cars
Mazda electric cars that see the light from the year 2025 will be supported by the new scalable Skyactiv EV platform. An architecture dedicated to battery-powered electric models that, depending on their characteristics, can be adapted to multiple types of vehicles so that they can be manufactured on the same assembly line. The theory indicates that a hatchback and a large SUV may share an assembly line.
This issue is highly relevant as it will help Mazda to reduce the manufacturing costs of electric vehicles. At the moment the brand has not specified performance details for this new platform. However, it has dropped the possibility that, at first, it will be used in its smaller models. This means, for example, leaving the door open for an electric car the same size as a Mazda3.
Despite all the investment that Mazda will make in the field of fully electric mobility, the company has not given up on the internal combustion engine. What’s more, on the agenda is the launch of five new hybrid models and five other plug-in hybrids by 2025. In addition, Mazda announced at the time that the thermal engines that its new generation models will use will offer a higher level of efficiency. Especially in the field of emissions.

Mazda will continue betting on thermal engines
New Mazda models with internal combustion engines will continue to be supported by the Skyactiv scalable platform. A platform compatible with different levels of electrification. Light hybrid technology (MHEV) or plug-in hybrid technology (PHEV), for example. In this aspect the Skyactiv-X engines with light hybridization they will play a determining role. Even more so when the new Mazda CX-60 and Mazda CX-80 loom on the horizon.
Mazda, unlike other manufacturers, is betting on extend the life of the internal combustion engine. In addition to hybridization, the company decided to join the eFuel alliance to help promote and develop renewable synthetic fuels. Mazda is currently researching synthetic fuels made from carbon that has been siphoned out of the atmosphere by giant filters.
