Mazda Motor Corporation known as simply Mazda, can be a Japanese multinational automaker headquartered in Fuchu, Aki District, Hiroshima Prefecture, Japan.In 2015, Mazda produced 1.5 million vehicles for global sales, virtually all which (nearly one million) were manufactured in the company's Japanese plants, with all the remainder from a variety of other plants worldwide. In 2015, Mazda was the fifteenth biggest automaker by production worldwide.Mazda began because the Toyo Cork Kogyo Co., Ltd, founded in Hiroshima, Japan, 30 January 1920. Toyo Cork Kogyo renamed itself to Toyo Kogyo Co., Ltd. in 1927. In the late 1920s the business had to be saved from bankruptcy by Hiroshima Saving Bank and also other business leaders in Hiroshima.In 1931 Toyo Kogyo moved from manufacturing machine tools to vehicles together with the introduction in the Mazda-Go autorickshaw. Toyo Kogyo produced weapons with the Japanese military through the Second World War, particularly the series 30 through 35 Type 99 rifle. The company formally adopted the Mazda name 26 years ago, though every automobile sold right away bore that name. The Mazda R360 has been around since 1960, then the Mazda Carol in 1962.Mazda Cosmo SportBeginning from the 1960s, Mazda was inspired from the NSU Ro 80 and chose to put a serious engineering effort into development from the Wankel rotary engine as an easy way of differentiating itself using Japanese auto companies. The company formed an organization relationship with German company NSU and began using the limited-production Cosmo Sport of 1967, and continuing to this particular day while using Pro Mazda Championship, Mazda is one of the sole manufacturer of Wankel-type engines to the automotive market, usually by way of attrition (NSU and Citroën both lost the fight on the design throughout the 1970s, and prototype Corvette efforts by General Motors never made it to production.This effort to make attention to itself apparently helped, as Mazda rapidly begun to export its vehicles. Both piston-powered and rotary-powered models made their way worldwide. The rotary models quickly came into common use for their blend of good power and lightweight weight in comparison to piston-engined competitors that required heavier V6 or V8 engines to generate the same power. The R100 plus the RX series (RX-2, RX-3, and RX-4) led their export efforts.During 1968, Mazda started formal operations in Canada (MazdaCanada) although Mazdas were observed in Canada who are only 1959. In 1970, Mazda formally entered the American market (Mazda North American Operations) and was very successful there, going as long as to create the Mazda Rotary Pickup (based around the conventional piston-powered B-Series model) solely for North American buyers. To this day, Mazda continues to be the only automaker to possess produced a Wankel-powered pickup. Additionally, it's also the only marque to own ever offered a rotary-powered bus (the Mazda Parkway, offered only in Japan) or station wagon (inside RX-3 and RX-4 lines for many markets). After nine many years of development, Mazda finally launched its new model inside the U.S. in 1970.Mazda's rotary success continued before the onset on the 1973 oil crisis. As American buyers (and also those in other nations) quickly considered vehicles with better fuel efficiency, the relatively thirsty rotary-powered models started to fall out of favor. Combined with being the least-efficient automaker in Japan (with regards to productivity), inability to alter to excess inventory and over-reliance for the U.S. market, the business suffered a huge reduction in 1975. An already heavily indebted Toyo Kogyo was within the verge of bankruptcy and only agreed to be saved over the intervention of Sumitomo keiretsu group, namely Sumitomo Bank, as well as the companies subcontractors and distributors. However, the corporation had not totally turned its back on piston engines, since it continued to create a number of four-cylinder models through the entire 1970s. The smaller Familia line for example became vital to Mazda's worldwide sales after 1973, as did the somewhat larger Capella series.Mazda RX-7 (first generation)Mazda refocused its efforts making the rotary engine a choice to the sporting motorist rather than mainstream powerplant. Starting while using lightweight RX-7 in 1978 and continuing together with the modern RX-8, Mazda has continued its dedication to the present unique powerplant. This switch in focus also resulted within the development of another lightweight racecar, the piston-powered Mazda MX-5 Miata (sold because the Eunos and later on Mazda Roadster in Japan), inspired from the concept 'jinba ittai'. Introduced in 1989 to worldwide acclaim, the Roadster continues to be widely credited with reviving the concept from the small performance car after its decline from the late 1970s.
