Honda Motor Co., Ltd. reported mixed production and sales results for February 2026, with global output declining despite gains in Japan and North America.
Worldwide production fell 5.0% year-on-year to 270,008 units, as strong growth in Japan (+8.7%) and North America was offset by sharp declines in Asia, particularly in China.
Domestic sales in Japan dropped 5.2% to 54,415 units, marking the 11th consecutive month of year-on-year decline, reflecting continued weakness in the home market.
In contrast, exports from Japan surged 99.3% to 8,974 units, driven by strong growth to Europe and other regions.
Overall, the data highlights uneven performance, with international production challenges and weak domestic demand partially balanced by improving export activity.
