Honda to produce 'full' hybrid vehicles
But only for large vehicles?For some time a common topic on Hybridcarblog has been the need for Honda to develop a 'full' hybrid powertrain, such as found on a Toyota Prius or a Ford Fusion hybrid, that enables a hybrid vehicle to run purely on electric power.
Well, Honda has confirmed that it is working on such a powertrain.
"We've left the research stage and entered the field of development," Tomohiko Kawanabe, Honda's COO of automotive research and development, told Reuters in an interview regarding Honda's upcoming full hybrid vehicles.
The new hybrid powertrain is probably still 3 years from debut, and it might never replace the IMA powertrain in Honda's current hybrids. Instead, Honda wants the new hybrid powertrain for larger vehicles, such as the Pilot and Odyssey, but it could also make its way into sedans like the Accord.

Snoooooooooozzzzzeee....wake me up when one of these stupid manufacturers actually does what it's been promising it'll do for the last 5-10 years.
hey, it's a step in the right direction, but i hear you, noz. automakers will burn the planet down as long as it continues to be profitable.
there is simply no leadership by the majors at all. toyota comes closet, but when you balance their hybrid plans out with all the gas-guzzlers they sell, it's really not much to brag about.
By the time Honda comes out with a full hybrid for the Accord, Honda will have trouble competing against the more probable Hyundai Sonata Hybrid. Maybe Honda's R&D has something up its sleeve that will surprise us all in 3-4 years. We can hope can't we Noz?

A more robust hybrid system could open the possibility of a Element or Pilot hybrid.
