What is the Difference Between Honda's Independent Badge and Joint Badge?
1 Answers
The differences between Honda's independent badge and joint badge are as follows: 1. Trademark royalty: Independent badge models use the HONDA trademark and require higher patent fees, whereas joint badge models no longer use the HONDA trademark and thus do not incur trademark royalty costs. 2. Manufacturing cost: Joint badge models adopt the R&D system of joint venture factories, effectively shortening the production timeline, while independent badge models have a longer production process, resulting in significantly lower costs for joint badge models compared to independent badge models. 3. Production standards: Independent badge models follow Japanese production standards, whereas joint badge models adhere to domestic production line standards.
