“This new series symbolises how Honda is undergoing a major transformation, in line with its Global Brand Slogan and electrification policy. The series name represents Honda going back as an automaker, and creating completely new EVs from ‘zero,’” the company said in a press release.

The Tokyo-based manufacturer further stated that it also aims to go cabron-neutral for all its products and activities by 2050.

Honda 0 Series

(1.) The series is based on a ‘new approach’ called ‘Thin, Light, and Wise,’ Honda said. The lineup, it noted, will offer ‘five core values.’

(2.) The values are: an artistic design that evokes resonance; ADAS for ‘safety of peace and mind’; a ‘space’ for people ‘made possible by the internet of things and connected technologies’; the ‘joy of driving with the feeling of oneness with the vehicle’; and, outstanding electric efficiency performance.

(3.) The concept models presented by the carmaker are the flagship ‘Saloon’ and ‘Space-Hub’ with flexible space.
