Recently, foreign media exposed a new patent diagram registered by Mazda in the European Patent Office, and the new patent is Mazda's new rotor hybrid system. Previously, Mazda pioneered the application of a range extender hybrid system equipped with a rotor engine on the entry-level SUV, the MX-30. However, the patent exposed this time is different from the previous one, the system uses a three-rotor structure, and the rotor engine is directly involved in the power output.
According to the form of the rear drive on the patent diagram, it is speculated that the technology will be used in the future on Mazda's new platform vehicles, such as the new Mazda 6, Mazda CX-50, Mazda CX-60 and so on. Rotor technology, as Mazda's housekeeping skill, has fascinated countless car fans and friends. It is reported that the efficiency of this hybrid system is higher than the previous extender, and the fuel consumption performance is better while the performance is stronger. After mass production, Mazda may also hope to revive sports cars such as the long-dormant RX-8.
