Honda is reducing its sales targets and investment plans for pure electric vehicles to focus on hybrids due to changes in the EV market environment.
The company will invest seven trillion yen in EVs and software development, down from the previously planned 10 trillion yen.
Honda will introduce 13 next-generation hybrid electric vehicle (HEV) models globally from 2027 onwards, with a focus on improving range and driving efficiency.
The automaker aims to increase global sales volume in 2030, with HEVs accounting for 2.2 million units and EVs around 750,000 units, maintaining its commitment to achieving carbon neutrality.
