Mazda's Hofu Plant Tops Eight Million Units of Production

Mazda Motor Corporation’s Hofu plant in Yamaguchi Prefecture has reached a cumulative production volume of eight million units. This milestone was achieved in the 25 years and nine months since vehicle production commenced in September 1982. The cumulative volume rose from seven to eight million units in just 23 months, making it the fastest million units ever produced at the plant. This excellent result was due to high production volumes of the Mazda Axela (known as the Mazda3 overseas), which has seen annual growth every year since its launch in 2003, and the All-new Mazda Atenza (All-new Mazda6), which commenced production in August 2007.
