Sony took just about everyone by surprise at the 2020 CES when it unveiled the Vision-S as a sleek electric sedan. The Vision-S 02 SUV followed at the beginning of this year at the same show in Las Vegas. At CES in January, the Sony Mobility division was announced to explore a potential entry into the electric car segment. A few weeks later, Automotive News reported about Sony's desire to find strategic partners.
Fast forward to March 4, Sony has found a partner in Honda. The two companies have agreed to deepen discussions in regard to forming an alliance to develop and sell EVs. To make it happen, a joint venture simply called "New Company" will be created to develop and commercialize zero-emission cars. The immediate objective is to create the new… New Company before the end of the year.
