Mazda Brand History

The founder of the Japanese company Mazda is Jujiro Matsuda, whose name is consonant with the brand name. However, the name Mazda was taken from part of the name of the supreme Zoroastrian god Ahura-Mazda. The word “Mazda” is translated from the Proto-Indo-European as “mind”, “wisdom”. And the winged logo of the Mazda brand is a stylized image of a Zoroastrian deity.

The history of the Japanese brand began in 1920 with the production of cork products, trial batches of motorcycles, and mechanical engineering equipment.
One of the motorcycles managed to win a racing competition in 1930, which sparked interest in the manufacturer Mazda.
The company largely copied foreign models when creating tricycles, which were successfully exported to China since 1932, and were also provided for the needs of the Japanese army during the Second World War.
The first car of the manufacturer was the Mazda R360 rear-engined coupe, dated 1960.
A year later, the Mazda lineup was replenished with the Proceed B-series 1500 pickup, and in 1962 with the Carol 360 and Carol 600 sedans in two- and four-door versions.
In the 60s, the Japanese company managed to build the first rotary engine and put it into mass production with the Mazda Cosmo Sport RPD. They also organized the export of cars to New Zealand and European countries.
In 1967, two significant events for the company took place at once: Mazda Savanna RX-7 sports car debuted, and the American concern Ford Motor bought out a fourth part of the automaker’s shares.
In the late 80s, the world public saw the first generation of the Mazda MX-5 roadster, which gained popularity among motorsport fans.

The company’s latest development is the Mazda Shinari concept car, a forerunner of a different design direction, presented in Milan in 2010. The new corporate identity of the concept car is named Kodo (means “spirit of movement”).

Mazda’s extensive lineup includes SUVs, convertibles, roadsters, minivans, pickups. However, the main focus of the Japanese automaker is on small and medium-sized cars.
