Mazda History
«Mazda» (Mazda Motor Corporation, in the 1927-1984 Toyo Kogyo Company), Japanese automobile company, specializing in the production of trucks, buses, vans and cars. Included in the financial-industrial group «Sumitomo». The headquarters is located in Hiroshima.
The beginning of the history of Mazda brand was the creation in 1920 the company «Toyo Cork Koguo». But at that time it was not for the cars in no way affiliated. Its products have been ... construction materials from the cork tree. But this exercise was only a first step, albeit a very solid, allowing the company was able to lay a good foundation for further fiscal action.
In the mid 20's the first example of «no wooden» products «Toyo Cork Koguo» became a motorcycle. In those days in Japan, people were unable to buy expensive cars and will be pleased to acquire two operations. In connection with this change of the name Noah fell word «kork» (cork), and since 1927 the company has become the name of «Toyo Koguo Co Ltd». Already under this brand in 1931, began production of small 3-wheeled truck designed to razvozki goods. Then there were several concepts cars, but in the series, none of them has ever gone. And only in 1960 when the Japanese soldiers found more or less decent purchasing power, was released the first sedan model from which to run and taken to the history of Mazda - a company car and a brand in particular.
First became a model R-360 - 2-door city bantam, not different or special technical style delicacies, but cheap and very convenient. Two years later, added a new range of formulation - Carol. It is available in two versions: 2-door sedan Carol-360 and 4-door - Carol-600. The appearance of the two cars almost completely repeats the popular model Ford Anglia. In general, the early Japanese development is characterized by imitation of European models. In 1964, the world saw the first generation model Familia. This name probably will not tell you even account about anything that really is not surprising, because in the domestic market of Japan, all models have names that are distinct from those with whom they are exported.
Familia - This Mazda 323, as well as Capella - is 626, a Cosmo - 929 and so on. Incidentally, the three digits refer to models with a deuce the middle is a patented «mazdovskim» principle. At one time, there is even a conflict with the companies, the names of modification patterns respectively in terms of the engine were similar designations. Then Mazda judicially forced to change the name.
The beginning of this era of rotary piston engines for Mazda began in 1966. That was when she made her debut Mazda Cosmo Sports, which embodied the fruit of 5 years of cooperation with well-known at that time, the German automobile company NSU / Wankel. New Mazda was equipped with an engine of Felix Wankel - spoke about the index R in the name of the machine. In subsequent years, started this wave «rotary porshnevikov» from Mazda: 1968 - Familia R 100, 1970 - Capella RX-2, 1971 - Savanna RX-3 and so on.
Start the 70's for the Mazda passed under the sign of this explosion of activity. In particular, exports of machines began in America, launched a new manufacturing facilities in Hiroshima. Milestone was overcome in 1972 to 5 million foreign produced cars, of which the proportion of cars are exported, amounted to 1 million on the pace of development can be judged, and the fact that by 1979, was issued for 10 million cars Mazda!
The fastest car in the range of a sports coupe Mazda Savanna RX-7. It is equipped with rotary-piston 105-strong motor, which dispersed the car to a speed of 200 km / h. That was in 1978, which was marked by the fact that one-millionth car was produced with the Wankel engine. The concept of these engines are still alive. In the scale model is a model Mazda RX-7. But now the power of its engine already achieves 239 hp and a maximum speed of 250 km / h. Acceleration from 0 to 100 km / h from the RX-7 takes just 5.3 with. By the early 80's car brand Mazda firmly taken its place in the world market.
Production and sales of machines is constantly rising. If, in its first year, Mazda produced 23 417 cars, then after ten years, this figure was already 224 520. By 1980, output reached 736 544 vehicles per year. Shares in the company's stock markets grew at a price that does not remain unheeded. And in 1979, Ford acquired a 24.5% stake «Touo Koguo Co Ltd», by 1996 this figure rose to 33%, but now an American company has full control of Mazda. Although concerns are more of strategy development and sales, and production issues Ford did not intervene.
By 1984, the brand Mazda, which is part of «Touo Koguo Co Ltd», has become more famous than its creator. In this regard, it was decided to rename the parent company of «Mazda Motor Corporation». Auto 1989, held in Chicago, brought the company's next success. Presented rodster Mazda MX-5 Miata. This 2-seat car with a folding top made his debut in America is no accident, it is this market has become its principal place of sale. Thanks to its beautiful appearance and low price of the car immediately won enormous popularity. Moreover, by 1992, it sold 300 000 MX-5, but so far - already more than half.
Objective quality is confirmed by the study. Thus, the 1995 Mazda factories have been certified under the system and obtained ISO 9002 certificate. A year later, was the modernization of production and repeated study of capacity and product quality. As a result, Mazda has received the most appreciated - the ISO 9001 certificate. It has the brand to a whole new level, and to emphasize its status, it was decided to even change the logo and emblem. New Mazda symbol resembles a flying bird, a symbol of the Latin letter «V», which must be associated with the word «victory», that is victory. Another proof of the high quality used Mazda figures the annual rankings of German association ADAC, TUV and reviews about it in the international press.
In accordance with new trends in the company car sector is increasingly conquering increased capacity with such models as the Demio, Premacy and the MPV. A novelty was the wheel and SUV from Mazda - Model Tribute, which is created on a single platform «fordovskim» Escape. Prior to this, the company has not produced their cars off-road.
The desire to Mazda firstling Ukrainian consumers is known not just for the beautiful words of advertising, and the fact that in 1989 Mazda was the first officially presented at the Ukrainian market of the automotive brand. Moreover, to adapt the cars to our road and climatic conditions of the Japanese sent a special commission, which conducted a study of the state of our roads, fuel quality and climate. In accordance with the results for the machines supplied to our country are made ad hoc changes. This is to ensure that the machines in our environment and demonstrate the traditional quality and reliability.
