LOS ANGELES: Starting in August, Mazda will return to normal factory operations, or pre-Covid-19 levels, amid increased sales and future forecast for product demand in the US.
In June, Mazda North American Operations achieved a sales increase of nearly 11 percent year-over-year. Most notably, the three-row CX-9 and MX-5 roadster volumes grew 50 percent and 25 percent, respectively.
Through the remainder of July, Mazda will end production adjustments implemented at plants in Japan, Mexico and Thailand caused by the pandemic.
Mazda has been monitoring inventory levels and modifying production since the end of March. Currently, almost all dealerships worldwide have resumed sale operations.
Globally, Mazda said it remains cautious and flexible regarding the risk posed by Covid-19 and would closely monitor trends and demand in each market where its vehicles are shipped.
