Mazda has launched a new engine machining factory at Mazda Powertrain Manufacturing Thailand (MPMT) in Chomburi, Thailand, which is part of efforts to expand the local production of vehicles, engines and transmissions in Thailand.
Last year, the carmaker announced it would invest 22.1 billion yen (about RM785 million) to increase MPMT’s annual production capacity to 100,000 units in the first half of 2018. At the time, it was revealed the plant’s capacity stood at 30,000 units annually since full-scale production started in October 2015.
The plant currently manufactures the 1.5 litre SkyActiv-D diesel and 1.3 litre SkyActiv-G petrol engines, both of which are shipped to Auto Alliance (Thailand) for use in the Mazda 2. With the new machining factory, the 2.0 litre SkyActiv-G engine will be added to the production list, which will be exported to vehicle production sites in countries like Malaysia and Vietnam.
“We are delighted to open this new engine machining factory. MPMT’s steady growth since its establishment through to today is largely thanks to the generous assistance we’ve received from various parties. Let me express my sincere gratitude to all concerned,” said Mitsunobu Mukaida, president and CEO of MPMT.
“I hope that the engines we make here at MPMT together with our suppliers will go into cars that become an indispensable part of the customer’s life. We will contribute to the growth of manufacturing in Thailand by working with the local community to build high-quality cars and helping to nurture the next generation of industry leaders,” he added.
