About Mazda

Mazda is a Japanese multinational automaker based in Hiroshima, Japan. It was established under the name of Toyo Cork Kogyo in 1920. In 1931, it launched the Mazda-go. It was the first vehicle of the automaker. As mentioned on its current website, its name was inspired by the first god of the earliest civilization of West Asia which is known as "Ahura Mazda". Key members of the corporation regarded the name as a symbol of the beginning of the East and the West civilization. It is also a perfect way to pay respect to the substantial founder. His family name is pronounced very close to Mazda.

In 1932, Mazda started exporting its three-wheeled trucks to China. The first passenger car Mazda produced was the R360 Coupe in 1960. It was a two-door and four-seater coupe. At that time, many workers in Japan had a dream of owning a car. It made their dream come true. The vehicle was popular with car buyers for its reasonable price, excellent horsepower, and advanced auto parts. 4,090 units were bought in December 1960 alone. The Mazda Carol was followed in 1962.

Masterpieces of Mazda

Mazda put a huge effort into the development of the Wankel rotary engine at the beginning of the 1960s. It was one of the automaker's well-known auto parts. This was to set themselves apart from the other Japanese automakers. It formed a business relationship with NSU. And it began limited production of the Cosmo Sport in 1967. NSU and Citroën gave up on the design in the 1970s. Thus, the company became the only manufacturer ever to produce Wankel-type engines. Its success continued until the onset of the 1973 oil crisis. American buyers quickly turned to vehicles with better fuel efficiency. Due to its excess inventory and over-reliance on the U.S. market, the automaker suffered a huge loss in 1975. It was saved through the intervention of the Sumitomo Bank. Luckily, the company still produced the piston-powered engine. Because of the economical auto parts, the smaller Familia line became very important to its worldwide sales.

Currently, Mazda is still an industry leader. As times change, people still want premium automobiles. Mazda is still the brand that drivers look for. Because Mazda provides vehicles with high quality, advanced performance, and top auto parts. And its well-performing marques and durable aftermarket parts are easily available in the market.
