Mazda and Toyota are considering an alliance in eco-friendly technology, according to the Nikkei.
For Mazda it could be extremely important as the small carmaker struggles to develop all new technologies, including plug-ins.
One of the main topics is hydrogen fuel cell technology, which Toyota could share with Mazda. On the other hand, Toyota would like to use Mazda’s Skyactiv engines, which boost stellar fuel economy and strong performance.
Mazda already uses hybrid technology from Toyota and has done so since 2010.
