![]() The first model co-developed with GM is the Prologue SUV, on target for sales in 2024. The accord also calls for mutual vehicle platform-sharing, which will allow either automaker to use the basic building blocks of GM’s electric vehicle architecture in designing and building its own cars. Honda has teamed up with General Motors, an arrangement that allows Honda to make use of GM’s coming Ultium batteries, a proprietary technology that GM says will allow long-range electric travel, among other benefits. Looking beyond cars, the automaker said in a statement, “As the world’s largest power unit manufacturer with annual sales of approximately 30 million units of mobility products, including motorcycles, automobiles, power products, outboard motors and aircraft, we aim to realize carbon neutrality for all products and corporate activities Honda is involved in by 2050, striving to eliminate carbon emissions from power sources of a wide variety of products.” To accomplish this goal, Honda has formed a couple of major partnerships and committed to investing $40 billion in EV research and development, including engineering solid-state batteries. The projected ramp-up to this goal is 40 percent of sales by 2030 and 80 percent by 2035. The company aims for all its sales to be zero-emissions electrified vehicles by 2040. ![]()
