Honda has unveiled its electric vision for 2022, announcing the 11th-generation Civic which will complete the brand’s commitment to electrify its entire mainstream European automobile range by the end of 2022.
Coming to market in 2023, the e:Ny1 electric vehicle (EV) will be at the centre of Honda’s future product line up.
Tom Gardner, Senior Vice President, Honda Motor Europe says, “The completion of our electrification goal marks a significant moment for Honda in Europe. However, we’re not resting on our laurels.”
The Civic has been targeted to achieve CO2 emissions of less than 110 grams per km which is less than 5 l/100km with a maximum motor output of 135 kW and 315Nm of torque.
In addition to enhancing its electrified line up for Europe in 2023, Honda is continuing its focus on its Energy Management business. Its ambition is to create a sustainable society with zero environmental impact by connecting electrified mobility products and energy services.
For the next stage in its electrification journey, Honda is using a multi pathway strategy to realise its commitment to carbon neutrality across all Honda products and corporate activities by 2050. The company will heavily invest in a range of zero emission technologies including solid-state batteries, swappable battery systems, carbon neutral fuels and hydrogen cells.
A core part of this strategy will see all major markets, including the European region, increase the proportion of EV and fuel cell vehicle (FCV) unit sales ratio to 40% by 2030, and to 80% by 2035. The company will also end the sale of internal combustion engine automobiles globally by 2040.
