1. Domestic Production
Additional production of the all-new Mazda2 (known as the Mazda Demio in Japan) bound for Europe and increased production of the Mazda6 (Atenza), CX-7 and MX-5 (Roadster), among other models, led to a 20.3% rise in total domestic production compared to January 2007.

Although production of the Mazda6, Mazda3, Tribute and other models was healthy, total overseas production in January 2008 was down 11.0% year-on-year due to the end of production of Familia and Premacy models in China since FAW established itself as an independent brand.
