Honda in talks with India for hybrid car sale
Honda in talks with India to prepare hybrid cars By YURI KAGEYAMA, AP Business Writer Tue Oct 9, 11:02 AM ET TOKYO - Hybrids don???t have to sacrifice looks to be environmentally friendly ??” they can be muscular and stylish, too. That???s the message Honda hopes to send at this month???s Tokyo auto show with its new gas-electric hybrid sports car CR-Z. The vehicle has maintained "the essence of the sports car" while still delivering good mileage and less pollution, he said. The CR-Z comes with a new hybrid system developed by Honda whose breakthroughs allowed designers to get around such restrictions to achieve its lean cutting-edge look, said Morikawa, while declining to give details about the hybrid system and the vehicle. Japan???s No. 2 automaker already sells the hybrid Civic but discontinued the hybrid Accord and hybrid Insight. It has promised a new hybrid in 2009. Japanese rival Toyota Motor Corp. has emerged the leader in the technology, having sold more than a million hybrids globally over the last decade. 7 Source: [url=http://economictimes.indiatimes.com/News/News_By_Industry/Auto/Honda_in_talks_with_India_for_hybrid_car_sale/articleshow/2456767.cms]Economic Times[/url] |
