Honda, Nissan, and Mitsubishi Motors are collaborating on new truck models targeting Southeast Asian markets. Honda plans to sell a version of the body-on-frame Mitsubishi Triton pickup in the region, which will borrow components from Mitsubishi, including a ladder frame and one-ton payload capacity. This collaboration, established in 2024, aims to help Honda establish a stronger presence in markets like Singapore, Indonesia, the Philippines, and Malaysia.
