In addition, the firms are also focusing on decarbonising internal combustion units by means of carbon-neutral fuel. The latter includes synthetic fuel (e-fuel), biofuels, and liquid hydrogen.

The companies have also stated that the more efficient and powerful engines will “revolutionise” vehicle packaging. In comparison with the automakers’ existing power plants, the new units will be more compact. According to the brands, this will allow for “improved” exterior designs and aerodynamics, which, as a result, will contribute to better fuel consumption.

The three companies, which share the same aspirations, will refine engine technologies through friendly competition,” said Koji Sato, President, Member of the Board of Directors and CEO of Toyota.

Topical tips on buying used – Chapter 1

Image
Buying a used car can be harrowing, whether privately or from a dealer. Here are some tips, as well as some things to watch out for. Beware of low mileages, especially on smaller or cheaper cars. It is always possible that the odometer has been turned back. Some things to bear in mind are:- diesels are often bought because they the driver needs to undertake long trips without consuming vast amounts of fuel. This could be a sales rep, or someone travelling large distances to work, lots of lengthy trip for family holidays, etc. So, usually higher mileages than normal. An expensive or luxury car may not see much time on the road, but very seldom a “workhorse”. This makes the executive cars likely to have a lot more life left than the overworked and abused hatchback. These also spend most of their life in a home garage or undercover parking lot at work.
