Toyota and Mazda plan to jointly develop electric vehicles

In August of this year it became known that the Japanese company Mazda and Toyota join forces for the sake of building cars in the USA. CEOs exchanged in equal installments of the shares, which amounted to about 450 million dollars on each side.

The new joint venture will be produced such cars as Toyota Corolla and a new crossover model Mazda. But the most important agreement can be mutual agreement, Japanese companies in the field of electromobile development. Today these companies znachitelno lag behind in the development of this mode of transport. Toyota seem to have stalled with hybrid models of the Mirai and Prius, and Mazda too much spent of Finance and opportunities to work with technology Skyactiv.

In the current reality, the two companies will be easier to catch up, joined forces. Soon both of the group will start implementing their new ideas in the field of electromobility. It is expected that by 2020 production will be the first electric cars companies Mazda and then Toyota. We should not forget that Toyota is hard at work on the creation and development of solid-fuel batteries, which will be different fast charging. Duration will be approximately as long as it takes to refuel the car conventional fuels.

We can assume that the market for electric vehicles will be joined by two reputable manufacturers. But if the development of solid-fuel batteries will be continued, in this area we can expect a kind of "coup".
