Toyota and Mazda Team Up to Make Cars Better
Tokyo, Japan, May 13, 2015Toyota Motor Corporation and Mazda Motor Corporation today entered an agreement to build a mutually beneficial long term partnership. By leveraging the resources of both companies to complement and enhance each others products and technologies, the partnership will result in more appealing cars that meet the diverse needs and tastes of customers all over the world.
A joint committee will now be set up to evaluate how best to utilize each companys respective strengths. The committee will encourage broad and meaningful collaboration across a range of fields, including environmental and advanced safety technologies.
Marking the agreement, Toyota President Akio Toyoda said: As evidenced by their SKYACTIV Technologies and KODOSoul of Motion design, Mazda has proven that it always thinks of what is coming next for vehicles and technology, while still managing to stay true to its basic carmaking roots. In this way, Mazda very much practices what Toyota holds dear: making ever-better cars. I am delighted that our two companies can share the same vision and work together to make cars better. I can think of nothing more wonderful than showing the worldtogetherthat the next 100 years of cars will be just as fun as the first.
Representing Mazda, President and CEO Masamichi Kogai said: Toyota is a company that has shown steadfast resolve in acting responsibly on global environmental issues and the future of manufacturing as a whole. I also have tremendous respect for Toyotas dedication in its pursuit of ever-better cars through ongoing innovation. Furthermore, Mazda identifies with the way Toyota cherishes its roots and all of the communities it is involved in. It is no wonder they are held in great esteem in return. I hope that by working together to make cars better, we can raise the value of cars in the eyes of consumers while also enhancing the manufacturing capabilities of our home, Hiroshima, and all the communities we are involved in as well.
Previous collaboration between Toyota and Mazda has included the licensing of Toyotas hybrid technologies to Mazda and the production of compact cars for Toyota at Mazdas plant in Mexico.
Toyota and Mazda recognize that there is considerable overlap between Mazdas corporate philosophy of bringing joy to people through vehicles and Toyotas commitment to making ever-better cars, as well as its dedication to company-wide structural reforms to realize true competiveness and sustainable growth. This latest agreement will go beyond the traditional framework of cooperation, aiming instead to create a whole new set of values for cars through wide-ranging medium to long term collaboration.
