for fiscal year 2005, Mazda's domestic production, domestic sales and
exports exceeded the figures from the previous year due to healthy demand

to North America, Atenza/Mazda6 and Axela/Mazda3 bound for China and
output for BT-50 trucks in Thailand. China-bound output volume reached
13,874 units (up 72.6% over March 2005) while North American-bound production
was 7,000 units (up 25%). |
