Japanese manufacturer Mazda presented a new development that allows internal combustion engines to be used longer with a reduction in the negative carbon footprint. This is reported by UNN with reference to Motor1.
Details
Mazda is not ready to abandon internal combustion engines, but is working to make them significantly cleaner. At the recent Japan Mobility Show, Mazda unveiled a new concept car capable of recycling exhaust gases while driving.
The Vision X-Coupe is a hybrid coupe that not only has an elegant design, but also uses an unusual technology - a mobile carbon capture system. The Japanese company promised that the device would be able to literally "suck in" up to 20 percent of exhaust gases.

The captured CO2 will be stored on board the car in a small tank based on crystalline zeolite, weighing 50 kilograms. It should be replaced every 50-200 kilometers, probably during refueling. The device increases fuel consumption by 2-3%.
We are now moving to full-scale verification for practical implementation. We have experimentally confirmed that CO₂ can be separated from exhaust gases using CO₂ adsorbents. We will begin demonstration tests of this CO₂ capture technology in the final round of this year's Super Taikyu series.
Addition
Mazda is also developing cars on synthetic fuel with zero or near-zero emissions. The idea is to make even cars with internal combustion engines environmentally sustainable. So far, these technologies are far from industrial scale, and are only discussed in the context of test developments.

The 2025 Volkswagen Tiguan received a 5-star safety rating from NHTSA, the highest possible score.
