Mazda Motor Corporation has announced that the Light Duty Fuel
Economy Trends Report,(1) released by the US Environmental
Protection Agency (EPA) on January 12, 2018, lists the company as
having the highest overall Manufacturer Adjusted Fuel Economy for
the 2016 model year.(2) Mazda receives the first-place ranking for
the fifth year in a row.
The EPA's report summarizes fuel economy trends by model year for
vehicles sold in the U.S. and ranks automakers by Manufacturer
Adjusted Fuel Economy. Mazda's overall average fuel economy was
29.6 miles per gallon, improved 0.4 mpg over the previous year.
Mazda's mission is to enrich people's lives and society as a whole
while helping to preserve the beauty of the earth. The company
developed SKYACTIV TECHNOLOGY; an innovative range of engines,
transmissions, bodies and chassis; and deployed them throughout the
lineup to provide all customers with both driving pleasure and
outstanding environmental and safety performance. These continuing
efforts have played a key role in allowing Mazda to record the
highest overall average fuel economy five years in a row.
Moving forward Mazda hopes to help create a future in which people,
the earth and society can coexist with cars, to enrich people's
lives through a car ownership experience that celebrates driving,
and to become a brand with which customers feel a strong emotional
connection.
