TOKYO (Reuters) – A joint venture set up by Japan’s Sony Group and Honda Motor will introduce three electric vehicle (EV) models by the second half of this decade, the business daily reported on Wednesday.
Sony Honda Mobility will roll out a sedan in 2025, a sports utility vehicle in 2027 and a compact some time in 2028 or after in a bid to compete with Tesla, the Nikkei reported without citing its sources.
A spokesperson for Sony Honda Mobility could not immediately be reached for comment.
