- China sales of Mazda3 to resume in Jan.
Date: 2-Jan-2007 Sources: (Shenzhen Daily)
JAPAN'S Mazda Motor Corp. said Thursday it will restart sales of its locally built Mazda3 compact in China this month after an eight-month-long suspension.
On April 7, the Hiroshima-based automaker halted assembly at Chang'an Ford Mazda Automobile Co. - a tie-up with Ford Motor Co. and Chang'an Auto - citing a flaw in the process of acquiring government approval for production and sales. It restarted production in October but was awaiting State approval to resume sales.
Mazda gained approval early 2005 to form a sales joint venture, FAW Mazda Motor Sales Co., with another local partner, the FAW group, which will have exclusive rights to sell all Mazda-branded cars in China.
