While some rival companies have vowed to sell only EVs in 10-15 years from now, the Japanese marque says its switch to a completely green lineup will take more time. 2040 is not the absolute cutoff date, but more along the lines of a target Honda wants to reach.<\/p>\n<p>To get there, it aims for electric and fuel cell vehicles in North America to represent 40% of its annual sales by the end of the decade, rising to 80% by 2035 before abandoning the combustion engine altogether five years later. Achieving these ambitious goals will take a lot of work, which is why <a href=\"https:\/\/evglobe.com\/2021\/01\/06\/gm-build-honda-acura-evs\/\">Honda is collaborating with General Motors<\/a> on two large zero-emissions vehicles making use of GM&#8217;s new Ultium batteries used by the Cadillac Lyriq and GMC Hummer.<\/p>\n<figure id=\"attachment_5777\" aria-describedby=\"caption-attachment-5777\" style=\"width: 1920px\" class=\"wp-caption alignnone\"><img loading=\"lazy\" class=\"wp-image-5777 size-full\" src=\"https:\/\/evglobe.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2021\/04\/honda-suv-e-concept-1.jpg\" alt=\"\" width=\"1920\" height=\"1080\" srcset=\"https:\/\/evglobe.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2021\/04\/honda-suv-e-concept-1.jpg 1920w, https:\/\/evglobe.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2021\/04\/honda-suv-e-concept-1-1536x864.jpg 1536w\" sizes=\"(max-width: 1920px) 100vw, 1920px\" \/><figcaption id=\"caption-attachment-5777\" class=\"wp-caption-text\">Honda SUV e: Concept for China<\/figcaption><\/figure>\n<p>The two EVs will be launched in North America for the 2024 model year, meaning they&#8217;ll go on sale in 2023. One will be badged as a Honda while the other as a fancier Acura. From 2025 onwards, a new family of EVs will be launched on a dedicated e:Architecture developed from the ground up exclusively for electric cars. North America will be the first region to get the new wave of EVs, with global markets to follow.<\/p>\n<p>At home in Japan, Honda is targeting electric and fuel cell vehicles to achieve a sales ratio of 20% by 2030, 80% by 2035, and 100% by 2040. A fully electric kei car will be launched locally in 2024 and the company will offer an electrified powertrain for all of its JDM cars by the end of this decade.<\/p>\n<p>As for China, the goal is to reach 40% of total sales by 2030 to be represented by electric and fuel cell cars, with the percentage growing to 80% by 2035 and 100% by 2040. No fewer than ten EVs will be launched within the next five years in the People&#8217;s Republic, including a production version of the SUV e:Prototype due in spring 2022.<\/p>\n<p>In the long run, Honda will strive to become completely carbon-neutral by having a zero environmental impact. Whether we&#8217;re talking about car or motorcycle production, the target is to become carbon neutral by 2050 when all of the company&#8217;s corporate activities will also be earth-friendly.<\/p>\n<p>By the middle of the century, Honda hopes there will be no more fatalities resulted from collisions involving its cars and motorcycles by heavily investing in R&amp;D to develop new safety systems.<\/p>\n<p><em>Source: Honda<\/em><\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Honda is the latest in a long string of automakers to announce ambitious goals to abolish the internal combustion engine.
