Mazda may be considering a new project to reduce the weight of cars in the era of electrification.
A new patent uncovered by Mazda describes in detail the methods and processes the company will use to manufacture a new chassis. It is noteworthy that this chassis will be mainly made of carbon fiber, which is considered a bold idea. Mazda, although a brand with a standing position in the market, still has limited financial resources compared to homegrown brands like Toyota or Honda.

According to Motor1, Mazda may be considering this technology to reduce the weight of cars in the era of electrification. Other patents recently released by Mazda show that the company is having difficulty in creating more hybrid and electric cars, as both types of cars are usually heavier than purely combustion engine vehicles.
Mazda is studying the technology of weaving carbon fiber layers together to create a surface that can withstand forces from any direction.
Based on the legal details of the document, Mazda will not be alone in developing this chassis. The patent is assigned to both Japanese car manufacturers as well as Nippon Steel & Sumitomo Metal Corporation. In other words, Mazda is collaborating with an experienced partner in the development of carbon fiber structures.

The patent shows a sedan used as an example, not a sports car. Based on the accompanying images, the Mazda6 is mentioned the most. However, even for a flagship sedan like the Mazda6, using this chassis is excessive.
On the other hand, it is not excluded that Mazda’s new carbon fiber chassis will be used for a new supercar. The company has long harbored ambitions to make sports cars, supercars that carry on the spirit of the old RX-7, but has not yet realized it.
