Mazda Motor Corporation typically called simply Mazda, can be a Japanese multinational automaker operating out of Fuchu, Aki District, Hiroshima Prefecture, Japan.In 2015, Mazda produced 1.5 million vehicles for global sales, the vast majority of which (nearly one million) were made in the company's Japanese plants, using the remainder originating from a variety of other plants worldwide. In 2015, Mazda was the fifteenth biggest automaker by production worldwide.Mazda began because 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 corporation had to be saved from bankruptcy by Hiroshima Saving Bank as well as other business leaders in Hiroshima.In 1931 Toyo Kogyo moved from manufacturing machine tools to vehicles using the introduction on the Mazda-Go autorickshaw. Toyo Kogyo produced weapons to the Japanese military through the entire Second World War, especially the series 30 through 35 Type 99 rifle. The company formally adopted the Mazda name twenty six years ago, though every automobile sold right from the start bore that name. The Mazda R360 has been around since 1960, as well as the Mazda Carol in 1962.Mazda Cosmo SportBeginning inside 1960s, Mazda was inspired through the NSU Ro 80 and made a decision to put an essential engineering effort into development with the Wankel rotary engine in order of differentiating itself using Japanese auto companies. The company formed a company relationship with German company NSU and began while using limited-production Cosmo Sport of 1967, and continuing to the current day together with the Pro Mazda Championship, Mazda is the sole manufacturer of Wankel-type engines for that automotive market, largely 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 started to export its vehicles. Both piston-powered and rotary-powered models made their way world wide. The rotary models quickly came into common use for their mix of good power and lightweight weight when comparing piston-engined competitors that required heavier V6 or V8 engines to create the same power. The R100 as well as 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 affecting Canada since 1959. In 1970, Mazda formally entered the American market (Mazda North American Operations) and was very successful there, going as much as to create the Mazda Rotary Pickup (based within the conventional piston-powered B-Series model) solely for North American buyers. To this day, Mazda continues to be only automaker to possess produced a Wankel-powered pickup. Additionally, it is additionally the only marque to possess ever offered a rotary-powered bus (the Mazda Parkway, offered only in Japan) or station wagon (inside RX-3 and RX-4 lines without a doubt markets). After nine numerous development, Mazda finally launched its new model from the U.S. in 1970.Mazda's rotary success continued till the onset on the 1973 oil crisis. As American buyers (along with those in other nations) quickly looked to vehicles with better fuel efficiency, the relatively thirsty rotary-powered models did start to fall out of favor. Combined with being the least-efficient automaker in Japan (with regards to productivity), inability to conform to excess inventory and over-reliance about the U.S. market, the organization suffered a huge reduction in 1975. An already heavily indebted Toyo Kogyo was around the verge of bankruptcy and only agreed to be saved with the intervention of Sumitomo keiretsu group, namely Sumitomo Bank, plus the companies subcontractors and distributors. However, this company had not totally turned its back on piston engines, mainly because it continued to generate a number of four-cylinder models through the 1970s. The smaller Familia line specifically became extremely important 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 as opposed to a mainstream powerplant. Starting with all the lightweight RX-7 in 1978 and continuing while using modern RX-8, Mazda has continued its dedication to this particular unique powerplant. This switch in focus also resulted inside development of another lightweight fancy car, the piston-powered Mazda MX-5 Miata (sold because Eunos and later on Mazda Roadster in Japan), inspired because of the concept 'jinba ittai'. Introduced in 1989 to worldwide acclaim, the Roadster is widely credited with reviving the concept on the small fancy car after its decline within the late 1970s.
