Mazda Motor Corporation assembly plants in Japan are back to normal operational levels, including overtime and holiday shifts, the company said as it predicted it would be able to achieve a domestic production volume of 900,000 units during the current fiscal year ending 31 March, 2012.
Mazda also forecast sales revenue of JPY2.19 trillion based on a global sales target of 1.305m units for the fiscal year. This was up slightly over last year’s global sales result and translates into a predicted operating profit of JPY20bn and a net income of JPY1bn.
