Honda has committed to ceasing production of petrol and diesel engines globally by 2040, as part of a new brand-wide electrification strategy.
40 per cent of Honda sales in all major markets of electrification will be made up of
all-electric (EVs) and hydrogen fuel-cell electric vehicles (FCEVs) by 2030, increasing to
80 per cent in 2035, ahead of the 100 per cent target set for 2040 – though only the lattermost deadline applies globally, with Australia included.
Key to meeting its targets is an array of new Honda electric vehicles due over the coming years, led by two large-sized electric vehicles co-developed with General Motors, and underpinned by the American car giant s Ultium battery architecture.
Honda to increase EVs and FCVs to 40% of its global line-up by 2030, with 100% electrification by 2040

Honda has set out its plan to increase its electric vehicle (EV) and fuel cell electric vehicle (FCV) model line-up in major markets of electrification, such as the United States and China, to 40% by 2030. This will then be expanded to 80% by 2035, and then to 100% globally by 2040.
This intent was announced by Honda president and CEO Toshihiro Mibe in his inaugural press conference earlier today. Mibe, who was appointed to the position in February, had previously stated that the automaker would be undergoing a “major transformation at great speed,” and the latest announcement expands on the automaker’s original plan of having EVs, hybrids and FCVs making up two-thirds of its sales by 2030.
