Main features of the fully upgraded Titan
Superb environmental efficiency and fuel economy
High power, low consumption turbo diesel engine.
Newly developed 3.0-liter and 5.2-liter turbo diesel engines feature improved fuel economy and noise levels.
Idling Stop & Start System
The addition of an automatic restart function to a conventional automatic engine stop idling system contributes to curb exhaust emissions, raises fuel efficiency and reduces noise pollution.
Meets all environmental and fuel consumption regulations
All model grades meet the New Long-term Emissions Regulations in Japan and, except for one specification, all grades achieve the heavy-duty vehicle fuel economy standards, making the Titan one of the most eco-friendly vehicles in its class.
Under the revisions to Japan's driver's license system scheduled to come into effect in June 2007, vehicles with a GVW (gross vehicle weight) between 5 and 11 tons will be classed as medium duty vehicles and will require a medium class driver's license or a medium class second category driver's license. The present standard driving license covers vehicles with a cargo of up to 5 tons and a GVW of 8 tons. The new standard license will cover vehicles with a cargo of up to 3 tons and a GVW of 5 tons.
Regulations applicable to new vehicles produced by automobile manufacturers. In comparison with the new short-term regulations, the amount of particulate matter (PM) has been reduced from 0.18 g/kWh to 0.027 g/kWh (down 85 percent); the amount of NOx has been reduced from 3.38 g/kWh to 2.0 g/kWh, (down more than 40 percent), making them the strictest regulations in the world.
In accordance with the addition of a transport category to the energy conservation law, from fiscal year 2015 onwards, automotive manufacturers who produce heavy-duty diesel vehicles for the domestic market must achieve the target weighted average fuel consumption for all vehicles that are shipped.
Mazda Motor Corporation is a Japanese automotive manufacturer based in Hiroshima, Japan.
