Honda Motor Co., Ltd. Introduces The Latest Technology Of The E:HEV System For Hybrid Vehicles

Honda Motor Co., Ltd. has today unveiled its latest technology for the Honda e:HEV hybrid system, which will be implemented in the next generation of hybrid vehicles. This update encompasses advancements in the engine, drive unit, and the latest control technologies for both the 1.5-liter and 2.0-liter engines, aimed at enhancing environmental efficiency while providing an increasingly enjoyable and high-quality driving experience. 

The new 1.5-liter and 2.0-liter direct-injection Atkinson cycle engines are engineered to deliver greater power and are paired with a front-wheel drive (FWD) unit featuring an integrated cooling system. This technology will also be integrated with a new generation Mid-size Platform currently under development. Consequently, fuel efficiency in the latest e:HEV vehicles is expected to improve by over 10% compared to previous models. 

Furthermore, these new engines are designed to broaden the operational range of engine revolutions per minute (RPM), achieving an optimal balance between fuel efficiency and torque. Specifically, the 1.5-liter engine aims for a fuel efficiency increase of more than 40% compared to the current model. The conversion of power and efficiency in both EV Drive Mode and Hybrid Drive Mode will also be enhanced, providing superior performance across various driving conditions. 

In the new front-wheel drive unit, a more compact technology packaging allows for improved efficiency while maintaining compatibility with a range of small to medium-sized models. This innovation not only enhances production efficiency but also reduces costs, thereby contributing to the sustainability of the business in the future. 

As part of this update, Honda is also introducing the Honda S+ Shift technology, a new feature designed to provide drivers with a stronger sense of unity with their vehicle.
