Honda’s Electric Vision – hybrid, PHEV, EV and FCV to make up two-thirds of its European line-up by 2025

Honda has revealed initial details of its new ‘Electric Vision’ strategy for Europe, stating that it aims to have hybrid, plug-in hybrid, battery electric and fuel cell vehicles making up two thirds of its European model line-up by 2025.

Outlining the plan at the Geneva Motor Show, Honda Motor Europe’s president and COO Katsushi Inoue said the company will leverage on its global R&D resources to accelerate the introduction of a full portfolio of advanced, electrified powertrains for European customers.

The focus on electrification will initially be driven by a roll-out of hybrid technology across its vehicle range, and the first hybrid model featuring the automaker’s two-motor hybrid system will go on sale in Europe sometime in 2018.

The company says the strategy will also make plug-in hybrid, battery electric and hydrogen fuel cell vehicles commercially available to European consumers. The Clarity Fuel Cell is one of these, the vehicle being introduced as part of the Europe-wide HyFIVE (Hydrogen For Innovative Vehicles) initiative to drive the adoption of fuel cell vehicles and the creation of a viable hydrogen refuelling infrastructure across the region.

    Seperti yang kita rangka, hala tuju industri automotif negara ketika ini juga sedang bergerak ke arah penggunaan teknologi hijau atau mesra alam, iaitu kenderaan lebih menjimatkan petrol dan mengurangkan pelepasan asap karbon.

      Apa jadi dengan Proton dan Perodua….dua dua pun tak ada hybrid dan EV walaupun seluruh dunia dah tuju ke arah hybrid dan EV

      Di Malaysia, minum teh dan makan kuih lapis lagi penting!

      Tun Mahathir yesterday said must give chance to Proton workers. But Proton workers just goyang kaki in opis. Campro also makan minyak like crazy and big failure.

        Kenaikan tambang pengangkutan awam yang mendadak, khususnya LRT,BRT dan ERL semakin membebankan pengguna.
        Kadar tambang tinggi bagaikan sedang meraikan musim kenaikan harga yang membebankan rakyat.

    Honda sales in Europe is not that many. In some countries honda can even beat Toyota. But the truth fact is European market is strongly belongs to continental manufacturer like Ford of Europe, VW group, the French makes, German marques and Fiat group. Honda sales in the whole Europe is est. somewhere in between 100-150k a year and 2/3 of that figure is not that high either.
