Hello, guys! Tell me, what is the first thing you associate with a cork tree and a cork at all? What are the possible options? Well, bottles of wine seem to be clogged with it, and this material sometimes can be used in construction... All this is true - but it is unlikely that it will occur to you that there may be a connection between a cork and a car...More precisely, with a specific car brand!
But actually, there is such a connection! In 2020, the assembly of the first electric car of the automaker Mazda started in the Japanese city of Hiroshima. It was a Mazda MX-30. Well, what's the big deal, you might think, a lot of companies produce electric cars, and what does the story about the cork have to do with it? Yes, despite the fact that the Mazda MX-30 had one interesting feature in the interior decoration. And to be precise, one of the materials that were used to make the interior of this car was just the same cork. The most natural cork that cork trees give us.
But the most important thing is that it was not just an original whim of the designer. This was done absolutely consciously and emphasized the connection of Mazda with cork production. This idea was supposed to revive one important, but now a bit forgotten story. The story of how "Mazda" or rather "Mazda Motor Corporation" appeared.
