In order to meet the growing demand worldwide, Mazda will increase SKYACTIV engine production at its Hiroshima plant from 400,000 to 800,000 annually starting in October.
The SKYACTIV-G represents a new generation of direct-injected gasoline engines. It's currently found in the Mazda Demio (Japan), Mazda3 and CX-5. The future Mazda6 will also inherit this efficient powerplant.
Meanwhile, the SKYACTIV-D is a new generation of clean diesel engines. It first appeared in the CX-5 sold in Japan, Europe and Australia. Once again, the upcoming Mazda6 will follow suit next year.
Mazda expects to sell 1.7 million vehicles in 2012, with nearly 80% of them featuring SKYACTIV technology.
