During the last Tokyo Motor Show, which has now been transformed into a mobility trade fair, we were pleased to see such important cars as the Subaru Sport Mobility Concept, the Suzuki eVX and the Mazda Iconic SP-2. In general, we have seen Japanese manufacturers come up with futuristic concept car proposals that advance the lines and technologies they are working on. And a little more.
In reality, there was enough material not to be missed, some very important statements from Akio Toyoda, the company’s president, who announced an important measure. “Engines still have a role to play as a practical means of achieving carbon neutrality. So we will perfect their technology. Battery electric vehicles are not the only way for us to achieve CO2 neutrality. Shouldn’t we all get excited about cars if we take on this challenge? You may be thinking, “Heat engines today?” It may seem like we’re racing against time, but that’s not true. “This is a necessary step forward,” he said firmly, without disclosing any further information. It seems to be a similar strategy to Mazda’s, which does not abandon electrification because it is imposed by countries’ environmental policies, but is committed to traditional “hearts”.

Toyota Gazoo Racing, what a treasure
It is precisely this way of working that allows us to bring cars to market that are in radical contrast to the ECO philosophy that dominated the brand until five years ago. Its hybrid road vehicles reduce the C02 emission standards, so Toyota can, for example, bring a GR Yaris with 280 hp, a GR Corolla with 300 hp or a GR86 with 240 hp onto the market, while the competition has to do without the sports cars that are understood as such they will not be punished.

Let us also remember that Toyota has several lines of research open since, as has been said several times, they do not realize that the future is 100% electric and they have a department that researches hydrogen.
