Mazda Motor stated on Tuesday that all of the vehicles it produces by 2030 will be electrified, where as 5 percent of its cars will be all-battery electric vehicles (EVs).
The Japanese automaker joins a expanding number of worldwide automakers who are planning to decrease emissions by producing more gasoline-hybrid vehicles, plug-in hybrids and battery EVs.
“By 2030, Mazda anticipates that internal combustion engines combined with some form of electrification will represent 95 percent of the vehicles it produces and battery electric vehicles will account for 5 percent,” the automaker stated.
Mazda has said that it aims to market an all-battery EV in 2020. On Tuesday it stated it would develop two battery EVs, one which will be functioned solely by battery and another which will be coupled to a battery with a range extender controlled by the automaker’s rotary engine.
