Honda Hybrids
Honda is currently the “other” big hybrid manufacturer along with Toyota. Honda’s current crop of hybrids include the Civic Hybrid, the Insight and the Accord Hybrid.
The question is, why has Honda SA not committed to hybrids like Toyota has? Today I emailed Honda SA’s head office with this enquiry:
Good day,
I run a web log that focuses on eco-friendly motoring in South Africa, and have a couple of questions about Honda SA’s environmental policy in the coming years.
Internationally, Honda has a solid reputation with regards to environmentally-friendly cars, notably hybrid cars. In South Africa, however, Honda has no hybrid presence to compete with Toyota’s Prius.
Lately, there have been reports that Honda is building a massive facility that will drastically increase its capacity to manufacture hybrid car components. Additionally, there is speculation that Honda will be releasing a more affordable hybrid by 2009.
Does Honda SA have any plans to bring this new hybrid to the South African market?
Thanking you for your time.
Let’s hope we hear something from them. Lookout for updates.
