Honda to Extend Application of i-MMD Two-Motor Hybrid System across Lineup

In a recent briefing in Tokyo, Honda Motor outlined its direction of technology development towards its 2030 vision. A key ingredient of the plan is the development of zero-carbon technologies.

Honda said that because powertrain requirements are different from region to region and are becoming diversified depending on factors likes infrastructure, regulations, and customer needs in each region, it will provide the most appropriate products to customers based on the idea of placing the right products in the right places at the right time.

As part of this, Honda will extend the application of its i-MMD two-motor hybrid system from large to mid-sized vehicles to small-sized vehicles, as well as to PHEVs and to evolve it as the core of Honda electrification technologies.
