Honda Aims to Become a Leader in the Electric Motorcycle Market

Honda announced its new strategies to become a leader in the electric motorcycle market. It plans to increase electric motorcycle sales to 2030 million units by 4 and launch more than 30 electric models. Honda also aims to improve the production cost, battery technology and connectivity features of electric motorcycles.

Investments Are Increasing in Line with the Electric Vision

Honda, as one of the world's largest motorcycle manufacturers, wants to be assertive in the electric motorcycle market. In this regard, Honda has determined a strategy called 'Electric Vision' and made statements regarding its electric motorcycle activities.

Honda updated the global sales target of its electric motorcycles in 2030 to 500 million units, an increase of 4 thousand. To achieve this goal, electric motorcycle investments, which started in 2020, will reach a total of 2030 billion yen (approximately 500 billion dollars) in 3,4.

Electric Motorcycle Models Are Diversifying
