「The automotive industry continues to review its global EV strategies. While growth in demand for BEVs varies by region, demand for HEVs has remained firm, particularly in North America. Automakers are pursuing portfolio strategies encompassing diverse powertrains, including BEVs, HEVs and PHEVs.」
電動化をめぐる構造変化について、EV戦略見直しと地域差、多様なパワートレイン戦略の併存を継続して示している。 - FY2027-H1RestatedAnnual report
「The automotive industry continues to review its global EV strategies. While growth in demand for BEVs varies by region, demand for HEVs has remained firm, particularly in North America. Automakers are pursuing portfolio strategies encompassing diverse powertrains, including BEVs, HEVs and PHEVs.」
We are reaffirming our existing view of the business environment: a review of EV strategies, regional differences in BEV demand, firm HEV demand, and diverse powertrain strategies. - 2026-08-05RestatedResults
「主要市場における補助金政策や規制の見直しなどを背景に、BEV（電気自動車）需要の伸びは鈍化傾向が続く一方、HEV（ハイブリッド車）への需要は世界的に堅調に推移しており、自動車メーカー各社は、BEV、HEV、PHEV（プラグインハイブリッド車）を含む多様なパワートレインのポートフォリオ戦略を推進しています。」
BEV需要の鈍化、HEV需要の堅調さ、多様なパワートレイン戦略という電動化をめぐる構図を継続している。 - FY2026ReframedAnnual report
「On the hardware side, major automakers are reviewing their EV strategies. On the software side, advances in SDVs (software-defined vehicles) are redefining the value of the automobile itself. At the same time, the dramatic evolution of generative AI is compelling companies to create new business opportunities and fundamentally change how work is performed.」
The explanation of electrification risk has broadened beyond regional differences in BEV, HEV, and PHEV adoption to include structural changes such as reviews of EV strategies, SDVs, and the redefinition of vehicle value and how work is performed through generative AI. - FY2026-H1ReframedAnnual report
「The automotive industry is accelerating its review of electrification strategies. Growth in demand for BEVs (battery electric vehicles) continues to slow due to reviews of subsidy policies in major markets and delays in developing charging infrastructure. Meanwhile, demand for HEVs (hybrid electric vehicles) is expanding globally, and automakers are strengthening portfolio strategies for diverse powertrains, including BEVs, HEVs, and PHEVs (plug-in hybrid electric vehicles), to meet market needs.」
The explanation of electrification risk has been reframed around slowing BEV demand, globally expanding HEV demand, and automakers' diverse powertrain strategies covering BEVs, HEVs, and PHEVs. - FY2025ReframedAnnual report
「Regarding the EV shift to date, EV penetration in China has risen to nearly 50%, with local manufacturers making significant advances, while market growth in Europe has slowed following a review of subsidy policies. Regional differences are also emerging, with the share of hybrid vehicles increasing in the United States.」
The explanation of electrification risk has been reframed from one-directional EV adoption to region-specific structural changes in which differing EV and HEV market trends coexist in China, Europe, and the United States. - FY2024ReframedAnnual report
「In the automotive industry, the spread of BEVs (battery electric vehicles), which had been advancing mainly in the Chinese and European markets, has reached a plateau. Against a backdrop of growing demand for PHEVs (plug-in hybrid electric vehicles) and HEVs (hybrid electric vehicles), automakers' electrification strategies are now beginning to change.」
The explanation of electrification risk has been reframed from a one-directional rapid EV shift to multifaceted structural change involving a plateau in BEV adoption, growing demand for PHEVs and HEVs, and changes in automakers' strategies. - FY2022RestatedAnnual report
「As technological innovation represented by CASE, particularly electrification, advances, vehicle mechanisms will change, potentially causing sales of our existing products to stagnate and decline.」
The company continues to explicitly identify the risk that CASE, particularly electrification, will cause sales of existing products to stagnate and decline. - FY2020WorsenedAnnual report
「As technological innovation represented by CASE advances, vehicle mechanisms will change, potentially causing sales of our existing products to stagnate and decline.」
The company explicitly identifies the potential business impact of CASE-driven structural changes, namely stagnating and declining sales of existing products. - FY2020-Q2RestatedAnnual report
「We view CASE—Connectivity, Autonomous, Shared, and Electric—which is considered a once-in-a-century major transformation in the automotive industry, as an opportunity」
The company continues to describe CASE as a major transformation in the automotive industry and view it as a business opportunity. - FY2019WorsenedAnnual report
「A once-in-a-century wave of major transformation is sweeping over the industry, including advances in autonomous-driving technology and the rapid shift to EVs.」
While continuing to recognize the structural changes driven by CASE, the company describes the shift to EVs as “rapid,” emphasizing the urgency of the automotive industry's transformation. - FY2018ReframedAnnual report
「In the automotive industry, with the market expanding steadily, led by China, the world's largest market, the industry is entering a period of major transformation represented by “CASE”—Connectivity, Autonomous, Shared, and Electric—and new products and services are emerging one after another.」
The company has reframed its view of changes previously centered on environmental regulations, electrification, and autonomous driving as a major transformation of the automotive industry driven by CASE and the creation of new products and services. - FY2017WorsenedAnnual report
「Over the medium to long term, the global automotive market is expected to expand gradually. At the same time, structural changes are accelerating, including changes in vehicle mechanisms such as electrification, cross-industry entry into autonomous-driving technology development, and a shift in consumer preferences from physical goods to experiences and services, exemplified by the rise of ride-sharing services, intensifying competition on a global scale.」
It states that structural changes, including cross-industry entry, ride sharing, and the shift toward services, are accelerating in addition to conventional environmental regulations, electrification, and autonomous driving. - FY2016First statedAnnual report
「Although the global automotive market is expected to expand over the long term for both motorcycles and passenger vehicles, the business environment surrounding our Group is changing rapidly, with tighter environmental regulations, accelerated electrification, and advances in autonomous-driving technology.」
We recognize tighter environmental regulations, electrification, and advances in autonomous-driving technology as changes in the business environment.
