Supplier Astemo Seeks To Deal With Automotive Industry's Future
Logo for Japan's Astemo automotive supplier Japan's Astemo Group and its Astemo Americas unit are making major adjustments amid changes in the auto industry. Astemo Americas is at work related to new technology, including steer by wire, break by wire, and autonomous driving. Astemo Group is looking to do an initial public offering in 2026. Currently, the company is 40% owned by Honda Motor Co., 40% by Hitatchi Ltd., and 20% by private equity. The U.S. unit, Astemo Americas, is looking to expand from its Farmington Hills, Michigan, complex. It changed its name to Astemo Americas last month. 'We're growing out of this facility,' said Tim Clark, CEO and president of Astemo Americas. 'We're bursting at the seams.' The executive said the supplier's new quarters will remain in the greater Detroit area. The company is looking for a site that could include an actual test track, rather that doing test drives in a parking lot. Astemo has 80,000 employees globally and 14,000 in the Americas. Its customers include Honda, Volkswagen AG, and General Motors Co. The supplier provided a briefing on Friday to automotive journalists. With the planned IPO, there's the question whether Astemo's relationship with Honda may change. 'We are very close to them,' Clark said of Honda. After the IPO, 'I don't think that will change…It's a very good relationship.' What follows are other topics discussed by Astemo Americas: --China's decision to limit rare earths to the U.S.: 'I think magnets are affecting almost every auto supplier,' said Rob Sharpe, senior vice president of sales and marketing for Astemo Americas. The impact on Astemo Americas? 'Not yet, but soon,' Sharpe said. 'We're counting the days.' An April 27 story on the Forbes website said, 'Rare earths are the great multiplier in the production of electricity and the efficiency of motors. Without them wind turbines would probably not be worth constructing — rare earths increase the output from a wind turbine fivefold or better and the same dynamic is at work in the efficiency of motors.' --Tariffs: The administration of President Donald Trump has imposed tariffs of 25% on imported vehicles and parts. Tariffs are levied on importers of products. Typically, those costs are passed on to customers. Tariffs are not paid from one country to another. 'The tariff is no fun,' Clark said. 'I wish it were gone.' He added: 'We are looking to see where we can localize' parts. The briefing included media test drives of vehicles with Astemo technology. The cars and trucks were production models equipped with prototypes of Asemto tech.

This Honda Was a Jeep Cherokee in Another Life
Well, I'll be DAMneD. Japanese tuners have found a way to surprise us again. After Mitsuoka gave the Civic a Nissan Skyline makeover , another Honda now channels a Cherokee XJ vibe. If you're unfamiliar with the WR-V, you honestly haven't missed much. The weirdly named "Winsome Runabout Vehicle" is just another small SUV in a crowded field. With a front-wheel-drive layout and a continuously variable transmission, it won't exactly set your pulse racing. DAMD has come up with an ingenious way to give Honda's forgettable crossover a stronger personalit, albeit one borrowed from another model. Yes, this WR-V wants to be a second-generation Cherokee when it grows up. The old-school rectangular halogen headlights flank a Jeep -esque grille with, conveniently, only six slots. Had they added another, the tuner might've had to lawyer up. As for the LED daytime running lights below, they look as if they were lifted from a previous-gen Mercedes G-Class. Photo by: DAMD The tuner, known for its quirky G-Class and Defender projects, fully embraced an 1980s and early 1990s aesthetic with faux wood paneling along the sides. At the rear, DAMD didn't bother changing the taillights to mimic the XJ's vertical lights, but it did add a questionable piece of black plastic trim. The rear garnish swaps the Honda badge for a REVERB logo, calling out the package's official name. The whole shebang even includes a redesigned, squared-off hood and a chunky front bumper. While the standard WR-V is far from an off-roader, DAMD lifts the suspension by nearly 1.4 inches (35 millimeters) and wraps the 16-inch wheels in BF Goodrich All-Terrain T/A K03 tires sized 215/70 R16. There's not much going on inside, but customers can order plaid seat covers to emphasize the retro effect. The checkered pattern extends onto the front and rear center consoles, as well as the front seat pockets. It's a strange combination, but given how Japanese tuners consistently churn out unusual cosmetic packages, there's clearly a demand for unorthodox custom builds.
