Honda Motor Corporation will join the race of the world’s biggest car manufacturing companies which are planning to create strong hybrid cars. These hybrid cars will serve as alternatives to cars which use a depleting fuel source and are contributory to global warming and therefore its harmful effects. Honda has already planned to develop a strong hybrid car which will be released in the market by 2012, much like it’s competitors.
This hybrid car is a plug-in hybrid and battery electric model car which is a stronger version of its mild hybrid car. The former mild hybrid cars which were developed a decade ago, are gasoline-electric cars which were not successful in the market at all.
In fact, other companies such as Volkswagen AG and Hyundai Motor Corp are aiming at these old Honda models and showing that their cars are more efficient and are stronger as hybrid cars. According to Takanobu Ito, the chief executive of Honda, the company plans to sell battery-powered electric model cars and plug-in hybrid vehicles by 2012.
These cars will be initially sold in the United States and Japan. On the other hand, Honda’s rival, Toyota, will release a plug-in hybrid car next year. This shows that the technology level of Toyota is way better than Honda.
