(ICEs) and save energy with the use of HEVs for regions which still depend on
thermal power generation. Also by promoting renewable fuels in near future, we can
envision a carbon neutral society where existing ICE vehicles and EV will coexist.
Mazda believes the realization of such society and has chosen the above-mentioned
multi-solution strategy.
