Honda Australia and electrification
“While we have no concrete plans yet we are looking into what is possible for Honda in Australia in this space, as the future technology available in the global Honda network is really exciting,” said Honda Australia Director, Mr. Stephen Collins.
“Electrification is a key part of our global plan and at Honda Australia, we have targeted 25% of our range being electrified (either Hybrid or BEV) by 2025. When the right product is available and the business case stacks up, we will be very excited to launch into the new era of electrification.”
