It seems that Mazda has figured out how to create the rotary engine and allow it to be one that does something special and useful on the road.

What’s one of the worst aspects of the rotary engine? The rotary engine has been one that’s mired with heavy emissions and fuel consumption baggage that’s been part of the engine and its performance in the past. This is good news since we keep on hearing about the rotary engine being in or out in a variety of ways.

The Hybrid Rotary Solution from Mazda

The new rotary-based solution for driving from Mazda is being called XEV. This refers to the adaptability of the rotary engine to be a machine that can function as a generator or used to give you the driving force you need to give you traction on the road. The fact that his type of engine is compact in size, makes it easier to use as a generator for a hybrid powertrain. This means the rotary engine could be used to feed power to the electric motor and batteries of a vehicle.

The Results are Amazing

The XEV soliton is an electrified platform that gives you a mild hybrid solution and a series of battery-electric models that make use of a rotary range extender. There could be a slider used to adjust the use of the rotary engine and electric power in a vehicle, making it possible for you to gain benefits from both when you’re ready to take the Mazda vehicle out for a drive and enjoy it on the road. While this engine is still in the testing phase, it has already shown promise to make this possible.

Flexibility Makes Sense

The platform that would use a XEV engine would need to meet various stringent emissions standards and allow for a setup that would make it possible for Mazda to give us a variety of excellent models to drive. The goal is to figure out when the right time to have the rotary power kick in and how that power would be used. It seems, Mazda already knows they want to muse their rotary engine technology for the drive that we’ll have in the future, but they also want to be able to make sure it makes perfect sense.

More than Just a Range Extender from Mazda

The new XEV engine layout could be used for more than just extending the range of the vehicle that you drive. Used properly, this rotary engine could be used to power up tools, or act as an emergency home generator when you need one. This would make the new XEV layout one of the most versatile on the market and show a brand new way for engines to be used for the lives we live. Once Mazda has finalized the development and brought the XEV engine to the market, we can once again admire the rotary engine that makes its way to the market.
