Aiming to achieve carbon neutrality by the 2040s.
Honda has an ambitious aim to further electric motorcycles over the course of the next few years. The company has announced its intent to roll out 10 or more commuter and FUN electric motorcycle models across the world by 2025 alone.
The news comes as part of Honda’s overarching goal to achieve carbon neutrality for all of its motorcycles by the 2040s. As the largest motorcycle manufacturer globally, the company intends to focus on environmental strategies for the motorcycle business and the advancement of internal combustion engines.

Citing the popularity of EMs and EBs models in China, the world’s largest electric motorcycle market, Honda will additionally create five compact and affordable EM and EB models between now and 2024.
The company is also building upon electrical models in the FUN category, developing three full-size FUN EV models in the U.S, Japan and Europe between 2024 and 2025, as well as a FUN model specifically for kids.
