Not just electric. For Mazda, reducing the environmental impact does not only involve electrification of its models. There replacement of heat engines with electric motorsin fact, it is only one of the steps in the new human-centric construction philosophy of the Japanese manufacturer, which envisages other measures and other initiatives to make its cars increasingly “eco-friendly”.
The new one is an example Mazda MX-30, first full electric vehicle of the historic brand presented last brand and which should arrive on the market from the second half of 2020. A car that fully embraces the new philosophy of the car manufacturer, characterized by cutting-edge technical solutions and interior design inspired by Japanese culture. They will therefore dominate natural materials, ample space for the driver and the passenger and an eye for the relaxation of those inside the passenger compartment.
Similarly, as mentioned, Mazda’s designers have paid particular attention to the choice of materials for both the interior of the passenger compartment and the exterior details. The goal was to minimize the environmental impact not only when the car is in motion (and in this the transition to electric motorization is essential), but also in the production processes that precede the placing on the market of the vehicle itself.

For this reason, Mazda has chosen to make the door linings with fibers made from recycled plastic bottles, inside which vegetable fibers have been integrated to make production “greener”. LThe center console is made of cork. Not only that: the peeling of the bark takes place without the plant being cut down, thus favoring the regrowth process of the cork itself. A process that pushes the plant to absorb a greater amount of carbon dioxide from the environment, further reducing the environmental impact.
Mazda’s new eco-sustainable approach is also realized with the use of ecological materials for the seats. In particular, the Premium Vintage setting involves the use of vegan leather which, to the touch, gives the same sensations as leather of animal origin. A vintage texture is then printed on the vegan leather which, in addition to giving a unique and inimitable look to the interiors, adopts a production process that uses water instead of chemical solvents.
