Driving the Future: Two Hybrids at a Time

MTM Employees Who Are Part of Mazda Toyota History in North Alabama


At Mazda Toyota Manufacturing, we’re more than manufacturers; we’re innovators, building a better future for our team members and our community. Since rolling out our first vehicle in 2021, our team has committed to creating a plant designed to adapt and grow. This past year, we have proved just how far that vision can take us. Through collaboration and hard work, our team has increased our production from two cars to four, adding the Mazda CX-50 Hybrid and the Toyota Corolla Cross Hybrid to our lineup.

Innovation In Action

From the beginning, the Apollo (Toyota) and Discovery (Mazda) lines were designed for flexibility. This adaptability enabled our team to integrate a new vehicle into each line. To pull this off, our entire team had to work together, from production to logistics, to figure out how to seamlessly add hybrid vehicles while keeping up with our production goals. Our production team stepped up in a big way, mastering the art of switching between combustion and hybrid vehicles. Meanwhile, our logistics team worked behind the scenes, ensuring every part and component was precisely where it needed to be, exactly when it was needed.


Celebrating Our Team

This milestone is a testament to the hard work, drive, and innovative spirit of our MTM family. From groundbreaking in 2018 to the first car in 2021 and now introducing two hybrid vehicles, it is incredible to see how far we have come in just a few years. Congratulations to the entire MTM team for this achievement. Your dedication and teamwork continue to set the standard for what’s possible. We’re excited to see how far we can go together, and we will continue driving the future, one vehicle at a time.

Women Inspiring Women (WIW) is one of our many Business Partnering Groups (BPGs) at MTM.

WIW helps plan executive festivals, donation drives, and volunteer opportunities for its members alongside our other BPG partners.

Our Grant Fund

MTM Employees Who Are Part of Mazda Toyota History in North Alabama


Mazda Toyota Manufacturing launched their MTM Grant Fund in 2022, with the goal of engaging nonprofit organizations in Madison, Morgan and Limestone counties to help further their missions.

MTM focuses on three areas with their Social Innovation Strategy: Economic Impact, Education, and Quality of Life. After launching with awards in June of 2022, MTM held another cycle in Spring of 2023. However, starting that year, the MTM Grant Fund became biannual with a Spring and Fall Grant fund cycle. Each spring, awards are announced in June – and each fall, awards are announced on Giving Tuesday! A committee of MTM team members reads and votes on each grant submission, before inviting finalists to a live “pitch” to talk about their organization and their programs. It has become an amazing way for our team to connect with the organizations who do so much to support and sustain our community.

  • Athens Limestone Hospital Foundation

  • Crisis Services of North Alabama

  • The Care Center

MTM has provided support to over 150 nonprofit organizations through their Grant Fund and through other corporate giving: since 2018, they have provided over $1.5 million in funding to our community.

These organizations include hospital foundations, local school systems, STEM programs, career and technical schools, providers of basic needs like food banks and shelters for the unhoused, and many more causes that make North Alabama a safe, healthy, growing community.

Not only does MTM give through their grant fund and corporate sponsorship, but they engage team members with backpack drives for school supplies, food drives, and toy drives around the holidays. Their Business Partnering Groups, LEAD Academy Program participants, and environmental team lead volunteer projects – including trail clean-ups, restoration projects, and more. 

To connect with our team about supporting your organization, reach out to media@mazdatoyota.com. If you are a 501c3 organization in Madison, Morgan, and Limestone counties, visit the Community Foundation of Greater Huntsville’s grants portal at Grant Opportunities – Community Foundation of Greater Huntsville (givehsv.org) to apply for the MTM Grant Fund.
