GENEVA’s Motor Show in March was an important show for Honda, displaying products and technologies that will be at the heart of our growth plans for Europe. Honda is set for numerous product launches which will see Honda increase production volumes and increase sales. Honda will also renew its entire European engine line-up, with a new engine series called Earth Dreams Technology. With these engines it aim to be Number 1 in fuel economy in each sector within 3 years.
The first engine from this series will be a new 1.6 litre diesel engine. Designed for Europe, it is expected to deliver 95 grammes per kilometre CO2 emissions and is the world’s lightest engine in its class. It will be introduced on the New Civic and production starts at our UK factory at the end of this year.
Earth Dreams Technology engines will also deliver excellent performance characteristics, says Honda and the new NSX will top the range.
This NSX Concept is powered by a mid-engine V6 and a new Sport Hybrid All-Wheel Drive system that comprises of 1 motor on the rear axle and 2 on the front. Supercar acceleration and outstanding efficiency will be the hallmarks of this revolutionary powertrain. The two motors in the front axle enable independent control of the left and right wheels to realize a ground-breaking “On-the-rail-cornering” experience. New NSX is set to define a new standard of Super Sport.
The US will launch new NSX with the Acura brand in 3 years before it is delivered to Europe.
