My understanding from talking to members of the press who have had the opportunity to ask questions is - cars and pickups are not included
- existing engines and transmissions are on the table
- new engines and transmissions and new technologies for them are on the table
- economies of scale through purchasing and combined logistics are on the table

So, working together Honda and GM can co-ordinate which ICE models to unnecessarily discontinue in order to promote their self-declared all electric and "accident free" (meaning self-driving only) future. Read the pdf statements of Reuss and the Honda chief to see the real goal. PC environmental hooey with no real demand for all electric. (Until they artificially eliminate ICE engines to create the new "demand" of the future)...
GM will likely commit suicide in order to promote the future, but at this point, who gives a damn anyhow.
