As Mazda cares about the environment and want to build environment friendly vehicles, they use bio plastic and bio fabric materials in manufacturing Mazda 5. Only 30% of this particular model will have non bio friendly materials.

To increase the fuel economy of its vehicles Mazda introduces the SkyActiv technology in its recent models like the Mazda 2, Mazda 6, Mazda 3, CX-5 etc. If this particular technology can be combined with a hybrid system and light weight material, then Mazda will be able to make a highly efficient Powertrain.

Marketing slogan of Mazda is "Zoom Zoom" which describe "emotion of motion" and the company claims that they have it in their models. This particular marketing strategy is highly successful and it has spread into every corner of the world now from its first use in America. This campaign is now spreading with "zoom zoom" song in television advertisements. From 2011 they also use a tagline that they believe if the vehicle is not worth driving then it also not worth building.

Mazda won 2013-2014 car of the year awards. So, Mazda is going to be one of the leading automaker in the Philippines and the addition of this Mazda Davao will work as a boost to its market and nearby people will be served better than previous.
