Not yet they don't, the below is what is forecast/planned to happen but 2026 is a long way away
Red Bull Powertrains, abbreviated as RBPT, is a Formula One power unit manufacturing company owned by the Austrian Red Bull GmbH. The company was formed in 2021 to take over the operation of Formula One power units developed by Honda from 2022 onwards, following the Japanese manufacturer's withdrawal from the sport after 2021. However, Honda continued supplying the Red Bull owned teams in 2022 and will do so until the end of 2025. Honda assembles the power units and provide trackside and race operation support. The power units remain Honda's intellectual property, and due to a development freeze, Red Bull Powertrains will not develop them.
Red Bull Powertrains will take full responsibility for engine supply and operations from 2026, when the company will be renamed to
Red Bull Ford Powertrains, following a partnership with Ford Performance.
