Tokyo auto show highlights technology but Trump's tariffs loom large

Business Standard

The Tokyo Mobility Show is highlighting more than just cars or the types of fuel they use from electric to hydrogen, but also various kinds of futuristic transport. Think scuttling robotic chairs, like the Uni-One from Honda Motor Co. The Tokyo-based maker of the Accord sedan says it is all about personal mobility as a mode for quick transport by 2035. Just sit on the boxlike machine as it zips around quietly. Toyota Motor Corp. showed a helicopter-like aircraft with six propellers, which was still in development in cooperation with US aviation company Joby. Such gadgetry, as well as more regular vehicles, are on display at the show, which runs through November 9 at Tokyo Big Sight exhibition space. It was previewed to media Wednesday, ahead of its opening to the public Thursday. Looming in the backdrop of the fanfare is the threat of auto tariffs under US President Donald Trump, raised to 15 per cent from 2.5 per cent, although an improvement from the 25 per cent he slapped on...

Ford's enormous F-150 becomes unlikely part of Japan's efforts to woo Trump

Business Standard

Japan is filled with tiny white trucks that farmers and commercial workers use to lug their gear along the narrow roads of a nation smaller than California. But Japanese Prime Minister Sanae Takaichi had another, more substantial truck in mind as she looked to build rapport with visiting US President Donald Trump. Takaichi, who wants to improve economic ties with Washington and cement a strong relationship with Trump, placed an enormous American Ford F-150 truck, as well as US-made Japanese automobiles, in the courtyard of the Akasaka Palace where the leaders held their first talks Tuesday.
