ENVIRONMENT
Our environmental philosophy
At Mazda, we are always working hard to develop environmental technologies which will contribute to an exciting and sustainable future for people, automobiles, and the Earth.
MAZDA SKYACTIV TECHNOLOGY
When the components of a system are engineered to work together, that system will operate at peak efficiency. This is the simple idea behind Mazda Skyactiv Technology. But efficiency isn’t the only benefit. It can also deliver a superior drive.
CYLINDER DEACTIVATION
Mazda’s 2.5 L Skyactiv-G engine is available with the company’s innovative Cylinder Deactivation technology. This system shuts down two of the engine’s four cylinders in light-load situations, such as when cruising at a constant speed, in order to seamlessly enhance efficiency.
MAZDA’S "SUSTAINABLE ZOOM-ZOOM 2030" VISION
At Mazda, we see it as our mission to bring about a beautiful earth and to enrich people’s lives as well as society. We will continue to seek ways to inspire people through the value found in cars.
ELECTRIFICATION TECHNOLOGIES
The Mazda MX-30 is our first zero-emission, fully electric vehicle. This exciting model adopts Mazda’s new electric-drive technology, e-Skyactiv, and combines outstanding response with smooth dynamic behaviour to achieve performance that drivers can enjoy naturally.
PROMOTING VEHICLE RECYCLING
Mazda Canada Inc. is working with eTracks to provide consumers with access to used tire collection sites across Ontario where used tires may be returned free of charge. A list of used tire collection sites can be found here.
Tires collected by eTracks on behalf of Mazda Canada Inc. are sent for reuse, recovery or recycling. A full description of resource recovery activities can be found here.
SINGLE NANOTECHNOLOGY
Automobile catalytic converters are comprised of precious metals that turn harmful emissions into harmless ones when gases are exposed to the surface. Mazda took advantage of single nanotechnology* to realize a new and unique catalyst structure in which precious metal particles are individually embedded into the base material.
*Single nanotechnology: a technology to control finer materials structures than nanotechnology
