Mazda announced that cumulative vehicle production at the Nishinoura district of Hofu Plant in Japan’s Yamaguchi prefecture has reached ten million units.
The milestone is achieved 30 years and eleven months after vehicle production commenced at Hofu Plant No. 1, the company said in a statement. The 10th millionth vehicle was a Mazda6.
“The production of ten million vehicles at Hofu Plant is a tremendous achievement, and we could not have done it without the support of our customers, our suppliers and other concerned parties, as well as that of the local community, the city of Hofu and Yamaguchi prefecture. On behalf of Mazda, allow me to express my deepest gratitude. We see this fantastic achievement not as a destination, but rather as a milestone on our road to further growth. Moving forward, we are committed to continue delivering fantastic products that delight our customers,” stated Masamichi Kogai, Mazda’s representative director, president and CEO.
