Honda has long been known as a car manufacturer that produces reliable, fun to drive and economical cars. Honda is not one to sit on its laurels and take the praise without planning ahead.
In an effort to continue to be a leader and hold the title of North America's most fuel-efficient car company, Honda has many plans for the near future.
In the immediate future, Honda will offer the next-generation fuel cell vehicle based on the FCX Concept. It will be available on a very limited basis in both the US and Japan beginning in 2008. Next, a new, more affordable hybrid car, slotted below the Civic Hybrid in girth and price, is planned for introduction in the US and Canada for 2009.
Truly interesting for Canada is the introduction of a new "clean" 4-cylinder diesel engine that meets US EPA Tier 2 Bin 5 emissions standards. It is slated for launch in the US and Canada in the next few years. Last but not least, Honda has prepared more advanced and efficient versions of their famous i-VTEC and Variable Cylinder Management (VCM) technology, expected to be introduced by the end of the decade. The all-new 2008 Honda Accord V6 will feature the new VCM technology.
Honda was the first automaker to introduce Low-Emission Vehicle (LEV) technology and Hybrid technology to Canada.
