The automobile craftsmanship of Japanese is evident in the variety of concept cars currently displayed at the ongoing Tokyo Motor Show. The Mazda Premacy Hydrogen RE Hybrid is among the numerous latest finds in the event, which officially opened last October 24 at Chiba City’s Makuhari Messe.

Among the high-end Mazda parts the Premacy has, the hydrogen rotary engine stands out. Almost similar to a hybrid vehicle, this four-wheel machine from Mazda is powered by two sources. Instead of just running on gasoline, a special kind of water is also utilized for this vehicle to work. With these two sources working together, the production of that much needed horsepower is achieved efficiently. The electricity produced from the hydrogen combustion is the one used to make the motor parts of the engine work.

According to Mazda, the Premacy Hydrogen RE Hybrid is more efficient in terms of speeding up as well as burning the mixture inside the engine compared with the Mazda RX-8 Hydrogen. Aside from all those inner workings of the vehicle, the Premacy is more spacious and is capable of having as much as five people plus some cargos.

The Tokyo Motor Show, which is now on its 40th year, is not just a display of various concept vehicles as it also allow guests to have the first-hand driving experience with some selected cars, like the Mazda RX-8 Hydrogen RE. The event will be open until the 11th of November.
