PHEV Technical Explanation & Motor Craft Experience➢➢➢⚫

This is Mazda's material recycling experience, where plastic waste generated in the car
manufacturing process is utilized as "material" instead of "waste".
Injection molding is the same process used to manufacture plastic parts (bumpers,etc.) for automobiles, and you can make your own unique key chain!
Numbered tickets will be distributed to those who wish to participate in the injection
molding experience on a first-come, first-served basis in the lobby of Mazda's
headquarters on the day of the event.
-Morning session (72 person) 8:30 a.m. - Registration will close when the morning
session is full.
-Afternoon session (81 person) 11:30 - Registration will close when the afternoon
session is full.
The experience takes 15 minutes.
Each person is limited to one key chain. However, in order to accommodate as many
participants as possible, families with children are limited to the number of children
plus one parent or guardian.
The color of the key chains is subject to change as it depends on the waste generated.

The motor craft experience is limited to students and younger during busy times, andreservations are required on the day of the event. It will be a thrilling experience to see
if the coils can spin around and around!
Anyone can participate in the PHEV technical explanation. Engineers will explain thetechnology and how to enjoy the CX-60 PHEV in various situations from daily life toleisure using an actual CX-60 PHEV vehicle.
