Case study

Handling of key parts for electrification and automization

In its 2030 Vision, Honda has declared a goal of leading the effort to realize a carbon-free and collision-free society with the aim of creating a clean and safe society.
Electrification and automization of mobility will be indispensable to realizing that goal.
We use our global network to source and supply key parts for electrification and automization, including “mobile power packs,” which are removable, portable batteries that supply power to various electric products, including electric motorcycles, “telematics control units” that enable two-way communication between the vehicle and external services, and “single-lens cameras” that serve as the eyes in Honda Sensing technology.
