Does Toyota Own Mazda?

Big car companies often work together to do big things. Mazda and Toyota are two such companies. They came together in the USA to make something special. They made a company called Mazda Toyota Manufacturing, U.S.A., Inc. (MTMUS) in Huntsville, Alabama.

In 2018, Mazda and Toyota decided to build a car factory together. They spent $2.3 billion to start it up in Alabama. This was a big deal because they could make lots of cars there – up to 300,000 every year.

They started making cars in 2021. First, they made the Toyota Corolla Cross, a small SUV. Then in 2022, they added the Mazda CX-50 to the production line. Both are popular cars, especially in the USA.

The Skyactiv-Hybrid technology combines Mazda’s Skyactiv-G engine with Toyota’s Hybrid Synergy Drive, which was initially licensed for use with the Sky engine in vehicles sold in 2013.

This electric hybrid engine technology integrates the efficiency of Mazda’s Skyactiv-G engine with the hybrid system from Toyota, resulting in improved fuel efficiency and reduced emissions.

Now, some people might think Toyota owns Mazda, or vice versa. But that’s not true. They’re still separate companies. They’re just working together on this project, like two friends doing a school project. They help each other out, but they’re still their own companies.

Conclusion

In summary, despite their collaboration in establishing Mazda Toyota Manufacturing, U.S.A., Inc. and jointly producing vehicles at their Alabama plant, Toyota does not own Mazda, nor does Mazda own Toyota.

The partnership between these two automotive giants represents a strategic alliance aimed at leveraging their respective strengths to enhance production capabilities and meet market demand.
