Mazda to Boost Capacity at Mexican Plant to 230,000 Units in 2016



Mazda's upcoming plant in Salamanca, Mexico, is still under construction with a launch date set for March of 2014, yet the Japanese carmaker has already made plans to increase its initial annual capacity from 140,000 units to 230,000 units by March of 2016.

According to the company, the reason why it decided to boost capacity is to accommodate the additional annual production of approximately 50,000 Toyota-branded vehicles built under contract, beginning in the summer of 2015, as well as to cater to the worldwide demand of its new SKYACTIV vehicles.
