Honda is continuing its commitment to hybrid vehicles while also focusing on the development of battery-electric and fuel-cell vehicles. The automaker is working on a next-generation hybrid system that will be used in models like the Accord and CR-V. The new system will feature efficiency improvements, a 10% boost in fuel economy for models on the new mid-size platform, and a 10% weight reduction compared to current hybrids. Honda is aiming for significant cost reductions by achieving 60% parts commonality across all models using the new platform. The company also plans to introduce all-wheel drive to its hybrids and a new feature called S+ Shift for a more engaging driving experience. Honda's ultimate goal is to achieve 100% battery-electric and fuel-cell vehicle sales by 2040, with plans to manufacture a next-generation fuel-cell system in a new factory in Japan. The automaker is also targeting the commercial vehicle market with a goal to capture 5% of the fuel-cell truck market by 2030 and 30% by 2040. For passenger cars, Honda is preparing to launch the 0 Series EVs in 2026, with some models manufactured in the U.S. and sharing a platform with the joint Sony-Honda Afeela brand and future Acura EVs.
