In the 12 months to 31 March 2015, Mazda says its fleet sales totalled 11,876, up 43% on the prior year’s 8,319 units with the brand boosted in the sector by the arrival of the CX-5 and Mazda3.

The company also said that its breakthrough in fleet sales has been helped by the introduction of emission-cutting, fuel-saving SKYACTIV technology, which will feature in all models following the arrival of the all-new MX-5 this summer.
