5. Advantages and disadvantages:
(1), Honda:
Honda's electronic navigator is the first navigation device used in cars in the world. It can display maps and driving routes on the screen, and can also determine the location of cars. Four-wheel anti-skid electronic controller, electronic device for automatically controlling the height of car body, and compound eddy current regulating internal combustion engine are all leading achievements of world automobile high technology.
At the same time, Honda is also the first Japanese car company to meet American standards. Honda has a wide range of motorcycle products. Sports cars, racing cars and ordinary cars occupy an absolute advantage in the world motorcycle market, with a total output of about 6,543,800+million. It accounts for about one third of the global market.
(2) Toyota:
Toyota Motor Corporation has a strong technical development capability, and attaches great importance to the study of customers' demand for automobiles. Therefore, it has created different brand-name products in different historical stages of its development, and defeated its competitors in the United States and Europe with rapid product updates.
The early Toyota, Crown, Guangguan and Corolla were famous for a while, and the recent Cresida and Lexus luxury cars were also famous.
Similarities and differences:
If they are the same, they are all automobile joint ventures. Generally, foreign automobile brands are used to introduce foreign models for domestic production and sales.
Because China's automobile industry policy stipulates that foreign automobile companies can only have two joint ventures in Chinese mainland at most, while the number of joint ventures of domestic automobile companies is not limited, so they have formed a complex relationship network.
For example, Toyota has two joint ventures, FAW Toyota and GAC Toyota, both of which produce Toyota brand cars, while Honda has several joint ventures, such as Guangzhou Honda and Dongfeng Honda.
(In addition to Guangzhou Honda and Dongfeng Honda, Honda, Guangzhou Automobile Co., Ltd. and Dongfeng Motor set up a vehicle joint venture company in Guangzhou. However, since all the cars it produces are exported, it is not limited to two joint ventures in China at most. )
In addition, Honda and Dongfeng also have a joint venture Dongfeng Honda Engine Company in Guangzhou to provide engine support for Guangzhou Honda. At present, there is no engine company in Guangzhou Honda, which is due to the historical reasons of the failure of Guangzhou Peugeot joint venture.
