By 2009, Honda will make a significant push into the hybrid vehicles market, greatly expanding hybrid production. The cornerstone of that production increase will be based upon a new family hybrid that will cost less than $2,000 more than a conventional vehicle.
The new family hybrid - a hybrid-only vehicle - might also be paired with a diesel engine, but it almost certainly will not be a plug-in hybrid vehicle.
Chief Executive Takeo Fukui stated on Tuesday that batteries for plug-in hybrid vehicles were still far too heavy.
"I'm not sure what kind of real advantages they would have," he said.
Additionally, Fukui believes that hydrogen-powered fuel cell vehicles will be ready for mass-production within 10 years.
