"Fun to drive" is at the core of our DNA, but sustainability is in our nature.
That's why Honda is committed to environmentally responsible vehicles and working toward
a zero-carbon-emissions future. Check out some of our latest innovations below.
Fuel-Cell Electric Vehicles offer long-range all-electric driving with zero emissions.
Fueled by hydrogen, their electricity is generated on demand by a fuel cell rather
than power from batteries. Plus, refueling with hydrogen takes just a few minutes.
Fuel-Cell Electric Vehicles can offer over 300+ miles of smooth and quiet all-electric driving, zero tailpipe emissions and a short 3-to 5-minute refueling time.
The fuel cell converts hydrogen into electricity to power the high-torque electric motor. A small onboard battery stores energy during deceleration and braking, adding "free" electrons to the power mix.
With a compact, hydrogen-powered fuel cell and stunning aerodynamic design, the five-passenger Clarity Fuel Cell is a styling, design and packaging concept of our next-generation, zero-emission vehicle with a targeted driving range of over 300+ miles2.
With advanced technology like rechargeable lithium batteries and electric motors providing power to the wheels, modern battery electric vehicles allow for all-electric driving while producing zero tailpipe emissions.
Battery electric vehicles don’t use gasoline and have zero tailpipe emissions, which can significantly reduce air pollution and greenhouse gas emissions. Plus, it’s much cheaper to drive on electricity1.
Battery electric vehicles draw power from rechargeable battery packs, similar to those used in many consumer electronic devices. As battery technology improves, we continue to work toward vehicles with increased driving range and faster recharge times.
An all-electric take on compact versatility. The Fit EV uses no gas, produces no
emissions and earned an impressive
118-MPGe combined rating3.
With two sources of power, impressive fuel economy and lower emissions, hybrid vehicles are just one of many ways Honda is creating more sustainable transportation.
In addition to savings at the pump, hybrid vehicles can help reduce air pollution, greenhouse gas emissions and dependency on oil.
Hybrid electric vehicles combine an internal combustion engine with an electric motor for higher fuel economy1 and reduced emissions. The onboard battery stores energy generated during braking and deceleration, eliminating the need to plug in and recharge.
The Civic introduces the CVCC engine, a major breakthrough in reducing emissions, lowering vehicle costs and increasing fuel efficiency. CVCC technology was later incorporated in the Accord, Prelude, and CR‑X.
Honda and SolarCity® have teamed up to help reduce carbon-dioxide emissions by encouraging the adoption of solar power for homes and plug-in electric vehicles.
Honda Smart Home was developed to showcase our vision for sustainable, low-carbon living and personal transportation.
Our Green Dealer Program helps Honda and Acura dealers measurably reduce the environmental impact of their operations.
