For Honda Motor Co. modernity will not be represented by electric hybrid cars in any case! The popular company has recently publicly announced that it will keep on the traditional track with its business. Honda Motor has said it will focus on improving the traditional, conventional gasoline-electric hybrid technology for its products, rather than develop new hybrid vehicles that can be plugged in, and out…

The company’s president Takeo Fukui has said that from his company’s team’s standpoint the hybrids do not represent the most effective solution for cutting the emissions of gases that are linked to the more and more problematic global warming phenomenon. The electric hybrids are believed by some others to be the ultimate solution for building vehicle and for protecting the environment; the hybrids can be recharged at the household electric outlets, but from Honda Motor Co.’s point of view they are not the solution.

Honda’s President’s public statements come for challenging the recent initiatives of the world’s two largest automakers, Toyota Motor Corp. and General Motors Corp. General Motors and Toyota have started to develop more reliable lithium-ion batteries, which would require a plug-in.

“The currently proposed plug-in hybrids are like a battery- electric vehicle equipped with unnecessary fuel capacity and an engine.” – Honda Motor Co.’s President has characterized the ultimate way of building cars coming from rival General Motors and Toyota. However, through his comments, Honda’s President Takeo Fukui doesn’t show a negative attitude against the idea of finding solutions against the global warming phenomenon, as with the same occasion he has announced that Honda is preparing an improved hybrid that will be less costly than its rivals’ models and will hit the market in 2009.

The global warming phenomenon represents a real problem of our planet and the important companies have started to become more and more aware of this fact.
