Hybrid Technology
Honda has made vast improvements in the efficiency and cleanliness of the internal combustion engine and in the quest for viable alternative fuels. We are focused on perfecting hybrid technology and bringing it to the mainstream. Gasoline performs well and is convenient, with a place to "fill it up" on nearly every corner. Electricity is clean and efficient. Hybrid technology makes the two power sources work in concert, the strength of each more than compensating for the inherent challenges of the other. Honda was the first automaker to introduce gas-electric hybrid technology in North America with the Honda Insight. Today, that's joined by the Civic Hybrid, and CR-Z.
