Honda Motor Co., Ltd. is a Japanese multinational mobility conglomerate founded in 1948 by Soichiro Honda and Takeo Fujisawa in Hamamatsu, Japan.

With over 90 million vehicles sold globally and a reputation built on engineering reliability, fuel efficiency, and innovation, Honda operates manufacturing facilities across more than 30 countries on six continents.\n\nHonda's automotive lineup ranges from mass-market sedans and SUVs — including the best-selling Civic and CR-V — to trucks, minivans, and the premium Acura brand. The company is executing a major pivot to electrification through the Honda 0 Series, a new EV architecture designed from the ground up for battery-electric vehicles launching in 2026. Honda's partnership with General Motors on battery technology, combined with its investment in solid-state battery development, reflects a multi-path electrification strategy designed to hedge technology risk while building scale.\n\nHonda reported FY2025 revenue of JPY 21.7 trillion, a 6.2% year-over-year increase, driven by strong North American demand and favorable currency tailwinds. The company faces intensifying competition from Chinese EV manufacturers in Asia and is exploring a potential merger with Nissan as part of broader Japanese automotive consolidation. Honda's engineering culture, global manufacturing scale, and brand credibility in reliability position it as a resilient and well-capitalized incumbent navigating the EV transition.
