RENESIS hydrogen rotary engine (unit display) A dual-fuel system that incorporates a gasoline tank together with a high-pressure hydrogen tank enables the RENESIS hydrogen rotary engine to run on hydrogen or gasoline with equal reliability and ease of use. Plus, engine, chassis, and body modifications necessary for operation on hydrogen are minimal, meaning that a hydrogen-capable version of a vehicle can be realized without much cost. |

Clean-running MZR-CD diesel engine In the MZR-CD diesel engine, technologies including a common-rail system and an electronically controlled exhaust gas recirculation system realize exceptionally low nitrogen-oxide emissions together with superior fuel economy. At the same time, a catalyzed diesel particulate filter minimizes emissions of particulate matter (PM) by capturing PM and automatically burning it off. Plus, a turbocharger contributes to superior power and torque. |

Adaptive Front Lighting System When the driver performs a cornering maneuver at night, the Adaptive Front Lighting System automatically turns the headlights' low beams to the relevant side in accordance with the steering angle, thereby illuminating the curve or junction. By enhancing visibility, the system promotes safe driving. |
