He added that they will use a more ambitious EV approach that will exceed the expectations of car consumers across the globe.
The New Company
Honda explained that its new partnership with Sony will create the so-called "New Company," which will be responsible for designing, developing, and selling their new EV models.
However, the automaker said that the New Company will not have its own manufacturing facilities. This means that Honda's plants will still be the ones that will produce the new electric vehicles.
On the other hand, the New Company's mobility service platform is expected to be designed and created by Sony. If you want to see more details about this new collaboration, you can visit this link.
