Until mass production start
2In September 2023, the third generation of the Honda N-BOX, "the best-selling car in Japan," went on sale. It is a popular car with accumulated units sold totaling more than 2.3 million units since its first generation release.
The Front Seat of the N-BOX has been consistently supplied by TACHI-S since the first generation. The development of the third-generation N-BOX was carried out in a unique way called "Constitutional Evolution Activity" led by the customer, with each supplier taking the lead in improving on the points needed to be addressed in the second generation. Because of the fact that the development of the third-generation N-BOX was carried out during the pandemic period, it was difficult for the team to confirm the actual product on site, which was to be expected before. Thanks to the cooperation of the Suzuka Plant, related departments, and suppliers, we managed to achieve the start of the mass production. We would like to express our sincere gratitude to all those who cooperated with us.
