経済｜ベトナムの電動二輪普及とホンダの影響 / Economy | The Spread of Electric Motorcycles in Vietnam and Honda’s Influence

Summary

As the Vietnamese government promotes the adoption of electric two-wheelers, Honda is facing a tough situation.

Honda currently holds about 80% of the market share in Vietnam’s two-wheeler market, but its main product line consists of gasoline-powered vehicles. Therefore, the government’s push for electrification could impact Honda’s sales. The changes in the Vietnamese market are likely to present a significant challenge for Honda.

Chako: Hey Log, I heard that Honda is going through a tough time in Vietnam! What’s going on?
Log: Well, Chako, the Vietnamese government is promoting the adoption of electric motorcycles. Since Honda holds an 80% market share there, it’s going to have an impact.
Chako: Wow, Honda has such a huge share! But their main focus is still on gasoline vehicles, right? Isn’t that a problem?
Log: Exactly. With gasoline vehicles as their main product, they might be going against the government’s policies, which could negatively affect sales.
Navi: The shake-up in Honda’s market dominance could lead to significant changes in their corporate strategy.
Chako: I see! So as electric vehicles become more popular, companies will have to adapt!

Admin’s Note

The movement towards the adoption of electric two-wheelers in Vietnam reflects a consideration for the environment as well as changes in the industrial structure. Even major companies like Honda are facing the reality that they must adapt to the changing times. In particular, companies that rely on gasoline vehicles will need to reassess their future strategies. The push for electrification could influence other countries as well, and I look forward to observing the developments in this area.
