PSA Autos, New Mobility: Honda (7267 JT) – Motorcycle Division Update

After consolidated sales hit a record high of 13.2mil units in FY18, demand was hurt first by the Covid-19 pandemic, and then by supply chain disruptions. However, we expect motorcycle sales to continue to increase in the coming years, with OPM remaining...
