Mazda SKYACTIV Technologies
October 26, 2010
Mazda Motor Corporation today announced the launch of its SKYACTIV next-generation technologies that will begin appearing in Mazda products from 2011. The Mazda2 will be the first model to feature SKYACTIV technology. It will be powered by the SKYACTIV-G, Mazda's next-generation direct injection gasoline engine that achieves significantly improved fuel efficiency. The Mazda Demio SKYACTIV-G will achieve fuel economy of 30 km/l without any assistance from an electric motor.
SKYACTIV is a blanket term for Mazda's innovative next-generation technologies that are being developed under the company's long-term vision for technology development, Sustainable Zoom-Zoom. The SKYACTIV name is intended to reflect Mazda's desire to provide driving pleasure as well as outstanding environmental and safety performance in its vehicles. To achieve this goal, Mazda has implemented an internal Building Block Strategy to be completed by 2015. This ambitious strategy involves the comprehensive optimization of Mazda's base technologies, which determine the core performance of its vehicles, and the progressive introduction of electric devices such as regenerative braking and a hybrid system. All the technologies that are developed based on the Building Block Strategy will fall under the SKYACTIV umbrella.
Highlights of the SKYACTIV technologies
- SKYACTIV-G: a next-generation highly-efficient direct-injection gasoline engine with the world's highest compression ratio of 14.0:1;
- SKYACTIV-D: a next-generation clean diesel engine with the world's lowest compression ratio of 14.0:1;
- SKYACTIV-Drive: a next-generation highly-efficient automatic transmission;
- A next-generation manual transmission with a light shift feel, compact size and significantly reduced weight;
- A next-generation lightweight, highly-rigid body with outstanding crash safety performance;
- A next-generation high-performance lightweight chassis that balances precise handling with a comfortable ride.
