Honda will soon move into the second phase of its electrification plan with the introduction of several new hybrid models in the near future. The news announced earlier in April is in line with Honda's goal of selling more than 50% hybrid models in Canada.
To achieve this goal, Honda will offer hybrid versions of its most popular models including the Honda CR-V and Honda Civic. A new generation of Honda Accord with a hybrid engine is also planned.
"Increasing our hybrid-electric vehicle output is critical to reducing Honda’s greenhouse gas emissions and achieving our goals of 100% zero-emission vehicle sales in North America by 2040 and carbon neutrality for our global operations by 2050,” said Jean Marc Leclerc, President and CEO Honda Canada. “Our recent investment of $1.38 billion to upgrade our Honda of Canada Mfg. (HCM) facilities in preparation for our electrified future is another step to realizing these goals as HCM will be the North American lead plant for building the all-new, 2023 CR-V Hybrid.”
In April 2021, Honda announced its ambitious electrification strategy. This strategy calls for:
- 40% of Honda's North American sales will be battery-powered vehicles by 2030
- 80% by 2035
- 100% by 2040
In addition to its new hybrid models, Honda promises to offer its first 100% electric vehicle, the Prologue, in 2024. This model, along with hybrid versions of the CR-V, Civic and Accord, are among 30 new electrified vehicle models that will arrive by 2030.
