Mazda developed its innovative next-generation SKYACTIV technologies, including engines, transmissions, body and chassis, with the aim of offering all our customers both driving pleasure and outstanding environmental and safety performance. The company's ongoing efforts to employ these technologies in a wide range of products have played a key role in allowing Mazda to record the highest overall average fuel economy four years in a row.
