TOKYO -- Honda Motor will procure batteries for its hybrid vehicles (HVs) from Toyota Motor's plant in the U.S., Nikkei has learned, as President Donald Trump's latest tariff announcements begin to reshape global supply chains.

Starting in fiscal 2025, Honda will take in batteries for approximately 400,000 vehicles, enough for all of the HVs it sells in the country.
