Honda will launch three crucial new electrified SUVS in Europe by the end of 2023 as it presses dwith a hold plan to both ahead with a bold plan to both reduce its fleet emissions and boost its competitiveness in key market segments.
The new-generation CR-V crossover, the smaller ZR-V and the electric e:Ny1 represent nothing less than the start of a new era for Honda in Europe, setting the tone for a rapid-fire global product onslaught, with the brand launching 30 EVs globally by 2030 and ditching combustion entirely by 2040.
Continuing with a "multipathway" powertrain approach because "not everybody is ready to make the switch" to an EV, according to European vicepresident Tom Gardner, Honda is in the second phase of its transformative electrification programme and now ramping up to phase three, when it will start dramatically increasing the proportion of EVs in its global line-up.
