The MX-30 is the flagship model of Mazda's electrification strategy. In addition to the MX-30 BEV - Mazda's first all-electric mass-production vehicle - now joined by a plug-in hybrid model - the MX-30 e-Skyactiv R-EV. With the electrification technology inherent in every variant of the drivetrain, the MX-30 truly embodies Mazda's multi-solution strategy when it comes to carbon neutrality. It allows customers to choose an electric model that best suits both their lifestyle and the characteristics of the country in which they live.
- A unique plug-in hybrid product from Mazda that combines all the advantages of pure electric vehicles with those of hybrids, offering customers more ways to use their car as an electric vehicle.
Autonomy is a key element for customers considering buying an electric vehicle. While some may be considering an electric one based on environmental sustainability, or because it changes the way they use their car, many others may not feel ready to take the plunge due to intense concern over driving autonomy or the charging environment.
The MX-30 e-Skyactiv R-EV is a new option that meets the needs of customers such as those who want a car that can be used as an electric car as much as possible for their daily needs, but don't want to worry about its autonomy or charging for longer journeys.
The autonomy of electric driving varies considerably, depending on the capacity of the vehicle's drive battery. However, switching to a high-capacity battery to extend autonomy also presents some challenges. Larger batteries are more expensive, so using one would result in an increase in the price of the car. In addition, a life cycle assessment (LCA) perspective requires optimization of battery capacity for the vehicle itself.
The plug-in hybrid is a realistic solution to the autonomy issue. Today, the most popular plug-in hybrid system is a parallel hybrid system in which both an electric motor and an internal combustion engine are used to drive the vehicle. The MX-30 e-Skyactiv R-EV However, it uses a hybrid unit based on an all-electric system, but adds a generator combined with a compact engine to eliminate concerns about driving range. The MX-30 e-Skyactiv R-EV has evolved to be used primarily as an electric vehicle, and therefore offers value to the customer, in the following three ways:
- In addition to an electric range of 85km that allows the driver to use it as an electric vehicle for his daily needs, it also relieves him of the stress of long journeys due to the power generating capacity of the rotary motor.
- The customer enjoys an unadulterated and comfortable driving experience comparable to that of the MX-30 BEV throughout the car's operation, thanks to the use of an in-line drive system, in which the vehicle is always driven by the electric motor.
- It is equipped with a charging and power supply function that can be used in the same way as that of a pure electric vehicle.
The rotary engine of the Mazda MX-30 e-Skyactiv R-EV is the key to achieving this value for the customer. Rotary motors are known to be more compact than reciprocating motors of equivalent power, motors. Using the rotary engine as a generator, it can and does integrate the best aspects of an all-electric series drive system, in which the drive is all-electric, into a unique plug-in hybrid that offers customers, more ways to use their car as an electric vehicle.
A car that can be used as an electric vehicle for everyday needs, but can also use a rotary engine to generate energy, enabling its driver to travel long distances in comfort.
