A Carbon-Neutral Future Awaits

At Honda, we’ve always been committed to preserving the environment for future generations. Today, we continue to innovate our way toward a 100% zero-emission car lineup in North America by 2040. And, with our Triple Zero approach, we aim to achieve carbon neutrality, resource circulation, and clean energy goals across our business operations by 2050.

Investments That Move Us Forward

Our path to all-electric, zero-emission cars begins by building hybrids at an affordable price close to home. That’s why we’ve invested nearly $1.4 billion in upgrading our award-winning manufacturing plants in Alliston, Ontario. This allows us to introduce new technology, train talented people, and retool the manufacturing systems that will facilitate hybrid output and help us transition to large-scale EV production.

An Environmentally-Conscious
History in the Making

Since opening its doors in Canada, Honda has always seen engineering through an environmentally-conscious lens, pushing the limits of what's possible while keeping the well-being of future generations in mind.

Fusion Energy Is Just Around the Corner

We believe the world is on the brink of a major breakthrough in fusion energy technology – one that promises to yield affordable, stable, and clean energy – which is why we’re continuing to search for and invest in promising companies through our global open innovation program.

A Powerful Partnership

As we continue on our quest to further reduce greenhouse gas emissions, we’re happy to announce that through our partnership with LG Energy Solution we’re building a multi-billion dollar lithium-ion battery manufacturing facility in Ohio that will supply Honda auto plants with all the battery power they need for EV manufacturing in North America.

Developing Alternative Energy Sources

Through extensive research and development, Honda is consistently pushing to find better alternatives to fossil fuels.

The Next-Gen Ultium Battery

Scheduled to be introduced in 2027, Honda is collaborating with General Motors to co-develop a series of affordable electric vehicles based on a new global architecture using next-generation Ultium battery technology. When all is said and done there will be a total of 30 Honda EV models introduced globally.

Harnessing the Power of CO2

We are developing technologies to capture CO2 from the atmosphere and convert it into carbon-neutral fuels. For instance, our Honda DREAMO system creates microalgae that can capture CO2 and transform it into food, biofuel, or a bioplastic.

Exploring Hydrogen Solutions

Working toward the realization of a carbon-neutral society, we continue to expand the possibilities of hydrogen energy by developing fuel cell systems for various applications. This includes marina products, commercial trucks, stationary backup power, and circulative renewable energy technologies for space.

The Hybrid to Electric Vehicle Transition

The transition to full EVs is on the horizon. In the meantime, Honda is focused on reducing harmful greenhouse gas emissions today by introducing hybrid trims for Civic, Accord, and CR-V models. All while simultaneously transitioning to fully-electric vehicles, beginning with the Honda Prologue, a Honda EV that promises zero emissions and endless adventures.
