The two automakers have reached a final agreement under which Toyota will supply the Toyota Hybrid System II, comprising a high-capacity battery, an electric motor, a generator and a power control unit. This system, designed for use with an engine of 2 liters or smaller, is ideal for small and midsize hybrids. Among Toyota hybrids, THS II is employed in the current-generation Prius.

The hybrid systems for Mazda will be supplied by Toyota group parts manufacturers at an initial rate of tens of thousands of units a year. Mazda plans to combine the components with a new gasoline engine and create the hybrid version of a mainstay midsize passenger car.
