The Japanese company Toyota announced, on Tuesday, that it will introduce new car engines that run on green fuel, as part of the company’s efforts to shift towards clean energy.

Toyota CEO Koji Sato said that “the engine has been optimized for the electric age,” hoping to help move the world to “carbon neutrality.”

During a 3-hour presentation in a hall in Tokyo, the auto giant showcased new, small-sized engines that run on green fuels such as hydrogen and bioethanol.

The company, according to the Associated Press, plans to pair these engines with battery-operated electric vehicles. 

Local allies Subaru Corp. and Mazda Motor Corp., both of which are preparing green engines designed to meet the inevitably stringent emissions standards, joined Toyota's bid, described as a "multi-track workshop."

“Every company wants to win, but we can be faster if we work together,” Sato said. No details have been revealed regarding when the engines will be put on the market.

Toyota already has a hybrid car with an engine that runs through the internal combustion of traditional fossil fuels and another electric engine, as it switches between the two to save energy consumption.

In future hybrid cars, the electric motor is scheduled to become the main driving force for Toyota cars, and the new engine will be designed to take an auxiliary role, according to the Japanese company.
