Mazda Produces Over One Million Units in Japan in Fiscal Year 2007

- Production volume reaches highest level in 15 years -

HIROSHIMA, Japan—Mazda Motor Corporation has announced that domestic production in Japan during fiscal year 2007 has exceeded one million units. This marks Mazda’s highest domestic production volume in 15 years since 1992.

Masaharu Yamaki, senior managing executive officer in charge of production and business logistics, said, “We want to thank all of our valued customers across the globe who have supported Mazda and helped us break the previous 15 year-old production record. Producing over one million vehicles in Japan during the first year of our new mid-term plan, the Mazda Advancement Plan, is extremely significant. This achievement shows we are on track to reach the targets set out in the plan. We will strive to maintain this momentum and drive Mazda’s growth forward.”

Announced in March 2007, the Mazda Advancement Plan (MAP) includes business targets to be achieved in fiscal year 2010, namely: 1.6 million global retail sales, an operating profit over 200 billion yen, a return on sales (ROS) ratio of six percent, and a stable payout of dividends. In order to achieve these targets, Mazda will leverage its annual straight time production capacity in Japan, which is currently 996,000 units per year.

Mazda & Gameboy Advance – Marriage Made in Japan

MazdaPedia — Wed, 20 Feb 2008 14:27:28 +0000

Mazda announced that it’s line up of 2008 CX-9 vehicles will have the option of docking your Gameboy Advance. That’s right, a system roughly four generations old (in gaming terms) can now hook up to the DVD dockable entertainment system available in the 2008 CX-9. Why such a throwback to an early-2000’s version of the Nintendo hand held gaming device? Mazda claims it is based on sales – the Gameboy Advance has the highest amount of sales on record for any hand held game system. If you still don’t see the logic, fear not; MazdaPedia feels this is only the first step to a Mazda and Nintendo bond, which might bring a Nintendo DS dock to your RX-8 or Wii hook-ups to the Mazda6.
