Honda announced plans to introduce 13 new hybrid electric vehicles using a next-generation platform, shifting focus away from previous electric vehicle sales targets.
The automaker aims to achieve a 10% improvement in fuel efficiency with the new e:HEV hybrid technology, targeting to sell 2.2 million HEVs annually by 2030.
Honda remains committed to its goal of being carbon-neutral by 2050 despite lowering EV sales targets, emphasizing battery-electric powertrains over fuel-cell technology.
The company plans to launch production versions of the Honda 0 Series electric range, with the first model set to debut in 2026 followed by a lineup including a sedan and an SUV.
