The specifics of the testing program, testing electric vehicles with lithium ion batteries and solar power charging stations have also been revealed at Honda’s Kumamoto Factory.
Conducted in real-world urban transportation environments, the program will focus on motorcycles, automobiles and power products based on electromotive technologies.
The program will also use advanced communications & telematics and solar-powered charging technologies to explore future forms of personal mobility and their potential of CO2 emissions reduction.
In addition to zero-emission electric vehicles, scooters and carts, the testing program will also include Honda’s plug-in hybrid vehicles, which combine a gasoline engine with two high-output electric motors.
