Initially they claim wouldn't be enter the 'green motoring' market, Mazda has now had to do a u-turn and start talking about their plans to launch a new line-up consisting of both electric and hybrid vehicles.
Mazda have suggested that the new hybrid line-up will consist of cars with both diesel and gasoline engines thus catering for a wider market. The new cars are set to have improved fuel economy which will in turn save the customer money.
The new 'green' line-up is expected to debut at the 2009 Toyoko Motor Show. Mazda's main aim is to offer affordable transport that is environmentally friendly and a 'step ahead of current hybrid offerings' - so it will be interesting to see the outcome.
The new vehicles are likely to include the innovative stop-start technology and be far more aerodynamic as Mazda will try to save fuel wherever possible.
It seems as though Mazda have finally decided that the green route is the one to take. Initially there was a lot of apprehension when it came to 'green cars' but gradually people have become far more aware of the damage cars can cause to the environment and they seem to want to do something about it. It also helps that green cars are fuel efficient and can save you money when it comes to running costs - especially in the current economic climate when we are all trying to stretch our money as far as possible.
Another benefit of environmentally-friendly cars is that you will be paying far lower tax - so more money can be saved here too.
One of the initial problems with green cars was their appearance - they weren't the most attractive of cars, however car manufacturers really seem to have upped their game when designing 'green cars'.
Take the funky little Citroen C1 or the near-identical Peugeot 107 for example, both offer great fuel economy, fall into the low tax band and are good for the environment and on top of that they look good too - you can't really go wrong!
These two cars have become more and more popular over the past few months and I for one have been noticing more of them driving through the town.
It now seems as though Mazda are following their lead and hoping to break into the hybrid market. Mazda have said also stated that electric vehicles will be introduced to their line-up by 2015 so watch this space!
