In June 2010, Honda adopted “provide good products to our customers with speed, affordability and low CO2 emissions.” as its direction for the next 10 years of change.
This approach has strived to inspire joy and satisfaction by bringing customers the products they need in a way that embodies Honda’s unique technology, knowledge, and creativity faster and more affordable than any other manufacturer. “With low CO2 emissions” represents our conviction based on the strong sense of crisis that, as a manufacturer of personal mobility, Honda will have no future unless we achieve a significant reduction of CO2 emissions.
Based on this direction, Honda embraced the dual environmental concepts of “the Joy and Freedom of Mobility” and “a Sustainable Society where People Can Enjoy Life.” in its Honda’s 2020 Environmental Vision. We are committed to contributing to the perpetual growth and harmony of society and exciting customers through personal mobility products and services throughout their daily lives.
In addition to working to reduce environmental impacts through initiatives to spur technological evolution in a broad range of products that includes motorcycles, automobiles, and power products as well as to pave the way for products that generate energy, Honda will propose a future low-carbon mobility society that uses electromotive technologies by spurring the development of more advanced environmental technologies.
Specifically, Honda has launched a comprehensive program known as the Next-generation Personal Mobility Proving Tests in Japan and the United States. This project seeks to advance energy supply infrastructure such as solar charging stations and information and communication technology in addition to electric motorcycles, plug-in hybrid and electric automobiles, as well as electric carts. Honda will also start leasing the EV-neo scooters for commercial viability in the business sector. We will continue to contribute to reducing CO2 emissions on a global scale in the future by providing more products with better environmental performance to as many customers as possible more accessibly.
