Honda will produce 10 electric motorcycles in the next 3 years

The world’s largest motorcycle manufacturer, Honda, has unveiled a plan to become carbon neutral by mid-century. The first of the goals includes the production of 10 new electric motorcycles in the next 3 years intended for the European and Asian markets.

All future Honda motorcycles will use a new platform that Honda is developing under the name FUN, and for the Japanese, European and American markets, the development of three large electric models is underway, which will arrive on the market in the next two years. Honda will also continue to produce motorcycles with internal combustion engines, but has promised to be more environmentally friendly thanks to the use of ethanol-based E20 and E100 fuel.

Given that the current demand for electric motorcycles is not that great, we should not expect many high-performance models. This can be concluded from the slide published by Honda, where we can see 11 silhouettes of potential electric models, only four of which do not look like mopeds.

2023 Honda Civic Type R with 320 HP

On July 20, Honda presented the eleventh and last non-hybrid generation Civic Type R. Although the performance of the new Civic Type R has not been revealed, it is now known that the improved engine, from the 10th generation, has 320 horsepower.

The new generation has a longer wheelbase and a wider wheel track compared to its predecessor. It is also equipped with improved suspension and a set of 19-inch rims with slightly wider Michelin tires. Honda is hiding a lot, including the weight of a car that showed its full potential at the beginning of the year during its last tests. On the Suzuka circuit, it was faster than the Civic Type R Limited Edition by 0.8 seconds, setting a lap time of 2:23:1.

The new Honda Civic Type R is powered by an improved 2.0-liter four-cylinder turbo petrol engine with 320 hp (235 kW) and 310 lb-ft (420 Nm). Power is transmitted to the front axle, which will be assisted by a limited differential lock, via a 6-speed manual transmission.

Honda claims that the new Civic Type R is the best so far. We hope that we will not wait long when it will show its capabilities on the famous German track Nürburgring Nordschleife, where it will try to repeat the result of the previous generation, the fastest front-wheel drive car.
