Honda R&D Co., Ltd. announced plans to test its high-differential pressure water electrolysis system at the International Space Station (ISS) in collaboration with leading space and technology companies Sierra Space and Tec-Masters. The project is part of Honda's vision for a regenerative fuel cell system that could provide advanced energy storage capable of supporting human life on the lunar surface. Honda is leveraging decades of hydrogen fuel cell technology expertise to develop a regenerative fuel cell system, known as a circulative renewable energy system, that will continuously produce oxygen, hydrogen, and electricity. Honda envisions the circulative renewable energy system to be part of the infrastructure for human's sustained habitation on the Moon - utilizing the available resources of sunlight and water. By enhancing the performance of the circulative renewable energy system, improvements can be made to long-life regenerative fuel cells that can be used as a scalable, clean, and renewable energy source both in space and on Earth. During the Lunar Day, the system will use electricity generated by the sun to power the process. Honda's high- differential pressure water electrolysis system will then produce hydrogen and oxygen from water. During the Lunar Night, when the Moon is not receiving sunlight, some of the oxygen will be used for astronauts to breathe. The Honda fuel cell system will use the remaining oxygen, along with the hydrogen produced during the Lunar Day, to generate electricity. After the fuel cells generate electricity, the only byproduct is water, which is recycled back into the water electrolysis system to create a closed-loop energy cycle. This process is similar to how a home solar system operates on Earth, where daytime solar electricity is harnessed, and excess energy is stored in home energy batteries to provide power throughout the night. International Space Station Testing: Honda has developed an advanced water electrolysis system designed to support long-term operations on the Moon by prioritizing efficiency and reliability. The system's lightweight and compact design addresses the critical need to reduce transportation costs in lunar development. Additionally, since it doesn't use mechanical compression, maintenance needs are reduced, enhancing reliability for extended missions. By enabling high-pressure gas storage in smaller containers, the system also reduces the need to transport and manage large numbers of tanks. Honda will test the core part of its high-differential pressure Water electrolysis system to verify the efficiency and reliability of the system in the microgravity environment of the ISS. For the ISS testing, Honda is collaborating with Sierra Space, a leading commercial space company at the forefront of innovation and the commercialization of space, and Tec-Masters, a leading provider of innovative scientific and technological solutions. Sierra Space will be the primary space mission integrator, working with NASA to transport materials on Sierra Space's Dream Chaser®? spaceplane, the world's only commercial spaceplane. Tec-Masters will be the ISS technology expert. New U.S. Honda Space Development Division: In late 2024, Honda established the Space Development Division at American Honda to promote technology development in the U.S. and Japan teams work closely to leverage Honda core technologies and apply them to the expansion of human activities and development on the Lunar surface. These space development initiatives demonstrate the commitment by Honda to fostering a sustainable future through pioneering technology and collaboration. Based on its longstanding commitment to build products close to the customer, Honda operates 12 major U.S. manufacturing facilities, working with 620 U.S. suppliers to produce a diverse range of Honda products using domestic and globally sourced parts. Honda has built automobiles in America for over 40 years, and in 2024, nearly 64% of all Honda and Acura automobiles sold in the U.S. were produced in America. Honda also conducts research and development activities at 23 facilities in America where the company fully developed the company fully developed the company and Acura automobiles are currently in America. The company has developed a regenerative fuel cell system to be in America.

Honda Motor Co., Ltd. (TSE:7267) will resume talks with Nissan Motor Co., Ltd. (TSE:7201) to form the world's fourth-biggest automaker provided Nissan CEO Makoto Uchida steps down, the Financial Times reported, citing a person familiar with discussions. Japan's second- and third-largest automakers by sales after Toyota Motor (7203.T), had been in talks to create a $60 billion firm after a lack of hybrid models in the U.S. and competition from local rivals in China had sent Nissan's earnings diving. Those talks collapsed last week, plunging Nissan into further uncertainty and highlighting the pressure on legacy automakers, particularly from emerging Chinese giants disrupting the industry. Nissan declined to comment to Reuters on the FT report. Honda said the report was not something it had announced. Uchida has been under pressure to turn Nissan around after years of faltering sales and management turmoil left the company a diminished force. Reuters reported in December that subsequent months would be critical for Uchida and Nissan's future. Merger talks with Honda unravelled in a little more than a month due to Nissan's pride and insufficient alarm about its predicament, as well as Honda's proposal to make its smaller peer a subsidiary, sources previously told Reuters. The FT reported that Honda is willing to revive negotiations with a Nissan boss who can more effectively manage internal opposition. Honda CEO Toshihiro Mibe last week said his company had no plan to launch a hostile takeover bid for Nissan. Nissan has been working on a turnaround programme under which it plans to reduce its workforce by 9,000 people and global manufacturing capacity by 20%. It said on Thursday it would provide an update on the programme within a month. Uchida has expressed his intention to stay until 2026, but is facing pressure to step down in coming months from board members and French partner Renault (RENA.PA), following the failure of negotiations with Honda, the FT reported. Nissan's board of directors has also started informal discussions regarding the timing of Uchida's departure, the FT reported.

The potential synergies expected at this stage are as follows. Going forward, the Companies will examine and analyze more specific synergies based on discussions within the integration preparatory committee to be established by the Companies and the results of due diligence to be conducted in the future. Scale Advantages by Standardizing Vehicle Platforms: By standardizing the vehicle platforms of the Companies across various product segments, the Companies expect to create stronger products, reduce costs, enhance development efficiencies, and improve investment efficiencies through standardized production processes. The integration is projected to increase sales and operational volumes, allowing the Companies to reduce development costs per vehicle, including for future digital services, while maximizing profits. By accelerating the mutual complementation of their global vehicle offerings - including ICE (internal combustion engine), HEV (hybrid), PHEV (plug-in hybrid), and EV (electric vehicles) models - the Companies will be better positioned to meet diverse customer needs around the world and deliver optimal products, leading to improved customer satisfaction. Enhancement of Development Capabilities and Cost Synergies through the Integration of R&D Functions: The Companies have started joint research in fundamental technologies in the area of vehicle platforms for next-generation SDVs, which is the cornerstone of the field of intelligence. The Companies are progressing efforts towards standardizing specifications and mutual supply of key components such as batteries, which are crucial for EVs, and e- Axle, which is expected to be equipped in next-generation EVs. After the realization of Business Integration, the Companies will encompass more integrated collaboration across all R&D functions, including fundamental research and vehicle application technology research. This approach is expected to enable the Companies to efficiently and swiftly enhance their technological expertise, achieving both improvements in development capabilities and reductions in development costs through the integration of overlapping functions. Optimizing Manufacturing System and Facilities: The Companies anticipate that optimizing their manufacturing plants and energy service facilities, combined with improved collaboration through the shared use of production lines, will result in a substantial improvement in capacity utilization leading to a decrease in fixed costs. Strengthening Competitiveness Advantage across the Supply Chain through the Integration of Purchasing Functions: To fully leverage the synergies from optimizing development and production capacity, the Companies intend to boost their competitiveness by improving and streamlining purchasing operations and source common parts from the same the supply chain and in collaboration with business partners. The Companies plan to establish, through a joint share transfer, a joint holding company that will be the parent company of both companies. This will be subject to approval at each company's general meeting of shareholders and obtaining necessary approvals from relevant authorities for the Business Integration, based on the result of the consideration of the Business Integration and the premise that Nissan's turnaround actions are steadily executed. The Companies will be fully owned subsidiaries of the joint holding company. However, should any procedural necessities arise regarding the Share Transfer or for any other reasons, the Companies may consult and agree to modify the above structure in the future. Shares of the newly established joint holding company under consideration are planned to be newly listed (technical listing) on the Prime Market of the Tokyo Stock Exchange ("TSE"). The listing is scheduled for August 2026. In addition, the Share Transfer will result in the Companies becoming wholly-owned subsidiaries of the joint holding company, and therefore the Companies will become wholly owned subsidiaries of the joint holding company and will be scheduled to be delisted from the TSE. However, shareholders of the Companies will continue to be able to trade shares of the joint holding company issued during this share transfer on the TSE.

Nissan Motor Co., Ltd., Honda Motor Co., Ltd. and Mitsubishi Motors Corporation have signed a memorandum of understanding (MOU) to explore the possibility of Mitsubishi Motors' participation, involvement, and synergy sharing in relation to the business integration through the establishment of a joint holding company outlined in an MOU signed between Nissan and Honda. Nissan, Honda, and Mitsubishi Motors have reached a basic agreement to proceed with discussions based on the framework established in the MOU signed by Nissan and Honda on August 1 regarding the commencement of a strategic partnership focused on intelligence and electrification. Mitsubishi Motors has been participating in this framework, and the three companies have been proceeding with discussions. Following the agreement between Nissan and Honda to start consideration toward a business integration through the establishment of a joint holding company amid the dramatic changes in the environment surrounding both companies and the automotive industry, the three companies have agreed to explore the possibility of achieving synergies at an increased level through Mitsubishi Motors' participation or involvement in the business integration. Mitsubishi Motors aims to reach its conclusion by the end of January 2025 on the participation or involvement in the business integration between Nissan and Honda.

The company cancelled its plan on December 23, 2024 to implement the newly resolved share buyback.

From November 6, 2024 to December 23, 2024, the company has repurchased 0 shares, representing 0% for ¥0 million. With this, the company has completed the repurchase of 0 shares, representing 0% for ¥0 million under the buyback announced on November 6, 2024.

Honda Motor Co., Ltd. (TSE:7267) announces a share repurchase program. Under the program, the company will repurchase up to 1,100,000,000 shares, representing 23.71% of its share capital, for ¥1,100,000 million. The purpose of the buyback is to improve capital efficiency, implement flexible capital policies, and strengthen shareholder returns. The program will expire on December 23, 2025. As of November 30, 2024, the company had 4,639,209,652 shares issued and 640,790,348 shares in treasury.

The Board of Directors of Honda Motor Co., Ltd. has authorized a buyback plan on December 23, 2024.

Honda Motor Co., Ltd. (TSE:7267) and Nissan Motor Co., Ltd. (TSE:7201) took their first historic steps toward merging and creating a new force in the world’s automotive industry as aggressive competition from China forces legacy carmakers to rethink their business models. The two Japanese auto manufacturers signed a basic agreement for merger talks on December 23, 2024, according to a joint media briefing in Tokyo. Honda also said it will buy back as much as ¥1.1 trillion ($7 billion) of its own shares. A holding company will be created to house the new entity and should be listed by August 2026, they said, adding that Honda will be able to nominate a majority of directors of the holding company. Mitsubishi Motors Corporation (TSE:7211), which is 24.5% owned by Nissan, also signed the memorandum of understanding and will be part of the group. Such an alliance would give rise to the world’s third-largest carmaker, pitting the trio against Toyota Motor Corp. at home and Chinese automakers including BYD Co. and Geely Automobile Holdings Ltd. abroad. Toyota has stakes in Subaru Corp., Suzuki Motor Corp. and Mazda Motor Corp., creating a powerhouse of brands backed by its top-notch credit rating. All three Japanese companies are to some degree facing an existential threat brought on by the global automobile industry’s breakneck shift to battery-powered electric vehicles and hybrid drivetrains and away from combustion engine cars. In China, the soaring popularity of locally made EVs has foreign brands fighting for survival, and Japanese carmakers there are stuck with too much capacity. Honda and Nissan have both had to pare back staffing and production, while Mitsubishi Motors Corp. has all but extricated itself from China, the world’s biggest car market. Meanwhile, a rebound in sales of hybrid gas-electric cars in North America has left Nissan on the backfoot while Toyota, a pioneer in hybrid technology, has received a welcome boost. Nissan missed that window of opportunity due to its outdated product lineup that was missing attractive options for hybrids, much less any competitive EVs. For Nissan, the merger with Honda could provide much-needed relief after paltry sales in the US and China triggered a massive drop in revenue, forcing the battered carmaker to cut jobs, slash production capacity and lower its annual profit outlook by 70%.

Honda Motor Co., Ltd. (TSE:7267) and Nissan Motor Co., Ltd. (TSE:7201) are expected to announce as early as December 23, 2024 the start of their talks on a possible merger, people familiar with the matter said. The two Japanese automakers aim to share the cost of developing electric vehicle and autonomous driving technologies to catch up with U.S. and Chinese rivals. Mitsubishi Motors Corporation (TSE:7211) another Japanese automaker of which Nissan is the largest shareholder, is expected to join the merger talks after the turn of the year. A combination of Honda, Nissan and Mitsubishi will create the world's third-largest auto group with global annual vehicle sales of about eight million units. But Honda and Nissan have a lot of overlap with each other. Both focus on North America and Asia as key markets and target the same customer base as mass-market automakers. There was less overlap in the partnership between Nissan and Renault SA of France, said Jusuke Ikegami, a professor at Waseda University's graduate school and expert on the auto industry's business strategy. "Nissan's main sales areas and areas of expertise were different from those of Renault, but the situation is significantly different regarding its cooperation with Honda," Ikegami said. Honda and Nissan may need to consolidate overlapping areas if they try to maximize synergies from a possible merger. The merger talks may be affected if Nissan, already struggling with weak sales in North America and China, plunges into a deeper slump. A wild card for the talks is Taiwan's Hon Hai Precision Industry Co., which is reportedly interested in acquiring some Nissan shares held by Renault. If Hon Hai becomes a shareholder of Nissan, the merger talks will be complicated.

Honda Motor Co., Ltd. (TSE:7267) and Nissan Motor Co., Ltd. (TSE:7201) are preparing to start negotiations on a possible merger, which ultimately could be expanded to include Mitsubishi Motors Corporation (TSE:7211) Japan’s Nikkei reported. Such a deal would create an automotive rival to Toyota Motor Corp. that would effectively consolidate the Japanese auto industry into two camps. It would also provide Honda and Nissan with more resources to compete with larger peers after downsizing long-held global partnerships with other carmakers: France’s Renault SA for Nissan and General Motors Co. for Honda. The move toward a merger would follow a decision by the two companies earlier this year to work together on electric vehicle batteries and software. At that time, Honda Chief Executive Officer Toshihiro Mibe floated the possibility of a capital tie-up with Nissan. While Honda and Nissan stopped short of confirming December 17, 2024 report, both automakers issued statements that reiterated their previous pledges for further future cooperation. “We will inform our stakeholders of any updates at an appropriate time,” Honda said in its statement. American depositary receipts of Honda and Nissan shares climbed on the report. Nissan ADRs rose 11% and Honda’s gained 0.9% in late New York trading. The two major Japanese carmakers plan to sign a memorandum of understanding to discuss shared equity stakes in a new holding company under which the combined company would operate, the Nikkei said, without citing sources. The merger would help the manufacturers compete against rivals in electric vehicles such as Tesla Inc. and Chinese automakers, it said. It also puts them in a better position to compete at home and abroad with Toyota, the world’s largest automaker. Toyota has taken stakes in Subaru Corp., Suzuki Motor Corp. and Mazda Motor Corp., creating a powerhouse of brands backed by its top-notch credit rating. Honda, Nissan and Mitsubishi combined sold about 4 million vehicles globally in the first six months of the year, well shy of the 5.2 million that Toyota sold on its own. Honda’s valuation stood at JPY 6.8 trillion ($44.4 billion) as of the close of trading in Tokyo on December 17, 2024, well above Nissan’s JPY 1.3 trillion market capitalization. But even their combined value is dwarfed by Toyota’s JPY 42.2 trillion. Honda has long struggled to keep up with bigger capitalized rivals when it comes to investments in new technologies. It recently has shifted gears to boost hybrid gas-electric vehicles even as it spends billions of dollars on all-electric production. Honda’s arms-length partnership with GM has been weakened bit by bit, most recently earlier this month when their self-driving car partnership ended. Meanwhile, GM has strengthened its ties with South Korea’s Hyundai Motor Co. Nissan has partially unwound its complex 25-year strategic partnership with Renault, a fixation of former Chair Carlos Ghosn. Rivalries and mutual suspicion mounted over the years and came to a head when Ghosn openly contemplated a merger, contributing to his downfall. The former chairman and CEO, who has filed a suit against his former company for ousting him in 2018, warned of a “disguised takeover” of Nissan by Honda in an August interview with Automotive News. Nissan also has stepped up restructuring efforts to cope with stalled revenue growth and lower profits. It faces pressure from an activist shareholder and a daunting debt load that has led to speculation in credit markets about its investment grade rating. The reported merger talks come after the Financial Times said last month that Nissan was looking for an anchor investor to replace part of Renault’s equity holding and that it hadn’t ruled out having Honda buy some of its shares.

Nissan Motor Co., Ltd. (TSE:7201) is actively seeking a long-term investor to stabilise its operations during a year marked by declining sales and major restructuring. According to a report by The Financial Times, Nissan is targeting institutional investors, such as banks or insurance companies, to replace part of Renault’s shareholding. Nissan is reportedly exploring deeper ties with Honda Motor Co., Ltd. (TSE:7267), including the potential sale of shares to the rival Japanese automaker.
