Despite being notoriously
well known for its heavy fuel consumption, Mazda claims it has not given up on
its unique rotary engine despite the car industry's drive towards alternative
fuels and powertrains.
Often criticised in the past for its poor fuel economy, the gasoline
rotary engine remains very much in the minds of the Japanese company's
engineers, according to Jeremy Thomson, managing director of Mazda UK.
He said: "The engineers still talk about it a lot and it
could come back. We don't want to lose the technology."
