Brand history

Founded in 1920 as Toyo Cork Kogyo Co., Ltd., Mazda evolved from a cork manufacturer to an innovative automobile producer. In 1931, the company produced its first vehicle, the three-wheeled Mazda-Go truck. In 1960, Mazda launched its first passenger car, the R360. The company is renowned for its unique engine technology, notably the rotary engine, and for winning the 24 Hours of Le Mans in 1991 with the Mazda 787B, the first victory of a rotary engine car in this prestigious race. In 2020, Mazda celebrated its centenary, highlighting its commitment to innovation and quality. (mazda.com)
