Honda Enters the Electric Vehicle Sphere with New Models
Posted on February 4, 2023
In recent years, Honda has been working hard to shift its focus to a more sustainable future to achieve carbon neutrality by the year 2050. To do this, the company is working on several initiatives, including reducing emissions from its vehicles and manufacturing processes, as well as investing in renewable energy.
Upcoming Electric Vehicle Launches
Recently, the automaker announced that it was planning to launch 30 electric vehicles by 2030 as part of its commitment to sustainable operations. Honda's electric vehicle strategy includes a mix of battery-electric and fuel-cell electric vehicles. The company aims to have battery-electric vehicles (BEVs) and fuel-cell electric vehicles (FCEVs) account for 100% of its total sales by 2040. Honda's commitment to electrification is part of its larger goal to reduce its environmental impact.
Collaborating With General Motors
In North America, the Japanese automaker has plans to work with General Motors (GM) on two generations of electric vehicles. The two companies have already been working together on fuel cells, and they will now extend their collaboration to batteries and electric motors. This is a big win for both companies, as it will allow them to share EV development costs and bring them to market faster.
Honda's New Line of Hybrid Vehicles
Currently, Honda is pushing aggressively into even more fuel-efficient vehicles with their new line of hybrid models. The company aims to sell at least 50% hybrid versions of its popular models — the Accord, Civic, and CR-V. However, Honda is no stranger to hybrid technology. They were one of the first manufacturers to embrace it with the Honda Insight back in 1999.
