Leveraging our network that stretches across the globe, we provide commercial distribution and local information services, providing support on the ground for our customers’ production activities in each country.
Liner shipping services
We are able to deliver parts at appropriate prices by collecting small-lot cargo bound for multiple customers and consolidating them into single liner shipments.
Development proposals for commercial materials

Example of Business Model

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.
