Honda will receive OEM supply of the pickup truck Triton, produced by Mitsubishi Motors at its Thai factory, it was learned on the 9th. Sales are set to begin in Southeast Asia as early as 2028, aiming to strengthen ties among three companies including Nissan Motor, with which collaboration talks are underway. The Triton is one of Mitsubishi Motors' flagship models, featuring rugged construction suited to rough roads, and is popular in emerging markets. Honda faces the challenge of recovering sales in the Southeast Asian market, but since it does not have a pickup truck for that market, it aims to expand its lineup while curbing development and production costs by receiving OEM supply. For Mitsubishi Motors, there is the advantage of raising the utilization rate of its Thai factory.
