-- 日経アジアは水曜日、ホンダ(東証:7267)がカナダ・オンタリオ州に電気自動車(EV)工場を建設する計画を一時停止すると報じた。 同報道によると、この動きは米国におけるEV需要の低迷を受け、ホンダが北米戦略の一環としてハイブリッド車に注力せざるを得なくなったことが背景にある。 ホンダは2025年5月、EV工場とバッテリー工場の建設を2年間延期したと報じられている。 ホンダはカナダ政府と無期限の計画停止について協議しており、北米のEV政策の動向次第で計画を中止する可能性もあると同報道は伝えている。 ホンダはEV工場とバッテリー工場に150億カナダドルを投じており、関連する土地購入についてはカナダ政府の支援を得ていたとみられると日経アジアは報じている。 (マーケットチャッターニュースは、世界中の市場関係者との会話に基づいています。この情報は信頼できる情報源に基づいていると考えられますが、噂や憶測が含まれる可能性があります。正確性は保証されません。)
