    Per Honda, its collaboration with SCSK will see the development of electrified powertrains and automated technologies among others.
  • By how much is SCSK planning to increase the number of its information technology (IT) engineers?

    According to Honda, its partnership with SCSK prompted the IT company to increase its engineers by 1,000.
  • Per Honda, its partnership with the Japanese information technology solution (IT) and service provider will see the development of electrified powertrains, advanced safety and automated driving technologies, in-vehicle infotainment systems, as well as operating systems for next-generation electrical and electronic architectures.

    In addition, the two companies will explore possible collaboration in establishing a collaborative office as well as developing processes and tools for software-defined mobility products and services.

    Based on this partnership, SCSK is planning to increase the number of its IT engineers working with Honda to approximately 1,000 by 2030.

    “The importance of software development is further increasing, as product development based on the concept of ‘software-defined mobility,’ in which software defines the value of hardware and services, is accelerating toward the realization of new value creation through next-generation mobility products and services,” Honda wrote in a press release.

    “In light of such automotive technology trends, Honda has signed a basic agreement to form a partnership with SCSK to establish a system and capability that will enable more seamless and speedy software development,” Honda added.
