Mazda has announced Masahiro Moro as its next CEO as it prepares to spend $10.6 billion (£8.7bn) on electrifying its line-up.
Moro headed up the company’s North American operations between January 2016 and June 2021, when he took a position in global senior management.
Speaking in a news conference overnight, he detailed plans to expand the company’s influence in the US – targeting 1000 sales per year from all 360 dealers in the region.
Moro also said he would begin to flesh out the company’s strategy for 2025-2027.
