Honda May Launch Electric Car In Japan, Europe, US
The carmaker is expected to display a concept electric car, the EV-N, at the Tokyo Motor Show
Tokyo-based Honda Motor, a manufacturer of cars, is considering the launch of electric cars in the US, Japan and Europe.
Reportedly the company said that the slow progress in setting up hydrogen fueling stations could limit the sale of its fuel-cell vehicles, and that it may need pure electric cars to meet tough regulations in California.
Takanobu Ito, president of Honda, said: “It’s conceivable a convenient commuter vehicle would be applicable for not just the US, but also for the Japanese and European markets.”
The carmaker is expected to display a concept electric car, the EV-N, at the Tokyo Motor Show. Toyota also plans to begin selling fuel-cell cars in 2015 for mid- to long-distance-driving vehicles, including trucks and buses.
Toyota Motor, Nissan Motor, and General Motors are the carmakers planning battery-powered autos as environmental concerns spur demand for fuel-efficient vehicles. Nissan is expected to start selling its Leaf electric car in 2010, and GM aims to start selling the Chevrolet Volt by November 2010. Toyota plans to begin electric car sales in the US in 2012.
