Sony Group Portal - VISION-S
In pursuit of the next generation of mobility, Sony's VISION-S project is now advancing to the real world. Sony will leverage the power of creativity and technology to contribute to the further evolution of mobility, for a safer and more prosperous society.
Sony Group Corp. is teaming up with automaker Honda Motor Co. to start a new company that will develop and sell electric vehicles, the electronics giant said Friday, its latest step into the rapidly growing sector.
Major global carmakers are increasingly prioritizing electric and hybrid vehicles as concern about climate change grows.
Sony’s news comes on the heels of a January unveiling of a new prototype, its Vision-S electric vehicle, and the announcement that its new subsidiary Sony Mobility will explore jumping into the growing sector.
Sony Group said in a statement Friday that the two Japanese names hope to establish their firm by the end of this year, calling it “a strategic alliance.”
“This alliance aims … to realize a new generation of mobility and services that are closely aligned with users and the environment,” Sony said in a statement.
Sales of their first electric model are expected to begin in 2025, with Honda responsible for its manufacturing but both companies working on design, tech and sales.
