Honda Vietnam promotes electric and hybrid vehicle strategy from 2026 – Determined for Net Zero and a safe traffic future

Electric Motorbikes: A Strong Shift from 2026

Honda Vietnam plans to launch 5 new electric motorbike models during 2026–2030, aiming to widely electrify its product lineup by 2035. In the recently concluded 2025 fiscal year, the first two electric models – ICON e: and CUV e: – were officially unveiled, marking the start of a decisive transformation journey.

Not stopping at products alone, Honda Vietnam also partnered with Vietnam Post, delivering nearly 340 electric motorbikes for urban delivery in Hanoi and Ho Chi Minh City – a concrete action toward reducing emissions and urban noise.

Hybrid – A Practical Solution During the Transition

In the automotive sector, Honda identifies hybrid powertrains (HEV) as the optimal solution for the transition period, being both environmentally friendly and independent of charging infrastructure.

Following the success of Civic e:HEV, the company continues to expand its lineup with HR-V e:HEV RS models from 2026, meeting the diverse needs of Vietnamese consumers. Notably, Honda Vietnam is actively collaborating with businesses and proposing tax incentives for hybrid vehicles to reduce production costs and expand customer access.

Ambitious Goals – From Vietnam to the Region

Honda is considering establishing an electric vehicle factory in Vietnam, aiming to make the country a hub for two-wheeled electric vehicle production, not only for the domestic market but also for exports across the region.

The company’s vision by 2040 is to fully transition cars to pure electric vehicles (EV) or fuel cell vehicles (FCEV), and by 2050 achieve complete carbon neutrality – in harmony with the global Net Zero strategy and Vietnam’s Green Growth program.

Green Manufacturing – Pioneering Businesses Shaping the Future

Beyond products, Honda Vietnam is investing heavily in green infrastructure. Two of its factories currently operate rooftop solar power systems with a capacity of 8MWp, while organizing a "Green Company Congress" to promote emission reduction initiatives across the supply chain.

Additionally, a series of traffic safety education programs and driver training for high school students reflect the company’s development philosophy: for a green – safe – sustainable Vietnam.

Impressive Business Results – Driving a Sustainable Strategy

By the end of fiscal year 2025, Honda Vietnam sold nearly 2.3 million motorbikes, capturing 83% market share, and exported over 305,000 units to international markets. In the automotive sector, more than 28,000 cars were sold – an increase of over 10% compared to the previous year – maintaining positive growth momentum amid fierce competition.
