Honda’s $40B Electrification Plan Includes Electric NSX Successor
Honda has outlined an ambitious electrification plan that has it committing to the introduction of 30 new all-electric models. The company also set three more goals:2) ending combustion-engine vehicle sales globally by 2040;The company is committing the equivalent of $40 billion USD to the project, which will go, Honda says, to “electrification and software technologies.”
The automaker made the point that to reach its goal, it will follow “a multi-faceted and multi-dimensional approach, not a mere replacing of engines with batteries,” as reported by Autocar. The company will also invest in developing hydrogen powertrains and battery-swapping hardware to help facilitate the phasing out of gasoline-engine powertrains over the next 10 years.Photo: Honda Prototype of the Honda Prologue So what about those 30 new models? Honda gave a few details about what we might expect, and one that stands out is that we may yet see an electric successor to the NSX supercar, the current edition of which is set to depart the lineup after this year.
Keep in mind that those targets are for introductions in its home market of Japan and other key global markets like China. We can be sure not all of those new EVs will make it to North America. In the near term, we know the Prologue is coming for 2024, as is a premium equivalent from Acura. In 2027, the plan is to launch several more-affordable EVs that in principle will be priced competitively with gas-engine equivalents.
Concurrently, Honda will launch its new software-integrated 'e:Architecture' EV platform, which will include its latest-generation Sensing autonomous drive technology.
