Honda Motor and Mitsubishi Motors Corporation have signed a memorandum of understanding to co-develop a new Honda-branded pickup truck. The vehicle will be built using the Mitsubishi Triton platform and is projected to enter the ASEAN market by 2028. This agreement represents the first vehicle supply deal between the two Japanese manufacturers. The collaboration is intended to allow Honda to enter a vehicle segment it does not currently serve in the Asia-Pacific region, while helping Mitsubishi increase production volumes and optimize capacity at its manufacturing facility in Thailand. The partnership operates within a broader framework established in August 2024 that also includes Nissan. While specific design details remain unconfirmed, the project marks the first instance of product mutual supplementation between the two companies, leveraging the existing Triton platform to target the regional pickup segment.
