The Mazda Motor Corporation has announced that the MX-5 race car named “Mazda Spirit Racing RS Future Concept (car number 12)”, currently competing in the 2025 ENEOS Super Taikyu Series Empowered by Bridgestone, will run on E20 low-carbon fuel supplied by ENEOS Corporation in the remaining rounds of the series.
E20 is a more sustainable fuel blend, consisting of approximately 20% bioethanol mixed with conventional petrol. While 10% bioethanol blends are now widespread in many regions, the supply and adoption of 20% blends remain limited globally, including in Japan and Europe. Mazda’s participation in the Super Taikyu Series forms part of its broader commitment to carbon neutrality, with motorsport serving as a proving ground for advancing low-emissions technologies.
Within this context, Mazda will evaluate the performance and viability of E20 fuel in the demanding environment of motorsport, working closely with ENEOS and other partners to share knowledge and address challenges. This effort supports a wider initiative to accelerate the transition towards a carbon-neutral society.
By strengthening both vehicles and fuels through collaboration, Mazda and its partners aim to drive innovation in sustainable mobility. In line with its Multi-Solution Strategy, Mazda will continue to evolve the internal combustion engine for the era of electrification. The company is developing technologies capable of accommodating a wider variety of fuels, offering customers more environmentally responsible options in the future.
Mazda remains committed to enhancing the joy of driving through its human-centred philosophy creating emotionally engaging, enriching mobility experiences in everyday life.
