Next-Generation Platform from Mazda

Last month…

we told you about Mazda’s Sustainable Zoom-Zoom 2030 initiative and the next-generation SKYACTIV™-X engine. This month, we begin with news about Mazda’s next-generation platform for developing and building their vehicles. It’s some pretty interesting stuff! Keep reading for details. You really should keep an eye on these developments.

Comfortable & Pleasing

We know that Mazda designs their vehicles to be comfortable and pleasing to drive. They are very human-centered when it comes to production and design. This new generation platform was developed with an enhanced focus on that human-centered idea. The functioning of the tires, the suspension, body and seats were reviewed from the viewpoint of optimization. The new platform will offer improved comfort and a less tiring driving experience. It will also enable drivers to changes in their environment. This happens by optimizing the body’s natural ability to balance itself. In turn, this creates the ultimate Jinba-ittai driving feel.

Inside

On the inside of the vehicle, seats have been redesigned to keep the pelvis upright. This maintains the natural S-curve of the human spine. The seat mounts and other parts are more rigid. This makes for smoother and quicker transmission of inputs form the vehicle to the driver’s body. The vehicle frames have been improved as well. For one thing, the rigidness of the four-wheel diagonal is enhanced. This is because the frames are connected vertically, laterally, front and back. This creates a multi-directional ring structure.

Outside & Underneath

Mazda has also made improvements to the functional distribution to the suspension, tires, arms and dampers. Each part is now able to work interactively along the axis of the vehicle. This creates a very smooth control and energy transfer. The high-strain energy areas are damped with damping nodes, damping bonds and other damping structures. Of course, those structures will depends on the nature of the area they are in. Equally, these improvements are based on how people perceive sound. The “quality of quietness” is improved by controlling how noise changes over time or from different directions, of course.

Next-Generation Advancements

These are some seriously amazing advancements for Mazda vehicles. Of course, we know Mazda vehicles are already great to drive. As a matter of fact, this next-generation design, Mazda vehicles are sure to be the world’s most comfortable to drive!
