Default Honda abandons diesel in the EU

Wants something more electric

Honda will phase out all diesel cars by 2021 in favour of models with electric propulsion systems, as the Japanese automaker moves to electrify all of its European cars by 2025.

Honda is the latest automaker cutting production of diesel cars to meet stringent global emissions regulations. The plan is part of its long term goal to make electric cars, including all battery electric vehicles, to account for two thirds of its line ups by 2030 from less than 10 percent.

By next year, according to European Union emission targets, CO2 must be cut to 95 gram per km for 95 percent of cars from the current 120.5-gram average, a figure that has increased of late as consumers spurn fuel-efficient diesel and embrace SUVs. All new cars in the EU must be compliant in 2021.

For Honda, declining demand for diesel vehicles and tougher emissions regulations have clouded its manufacturing prospects in Europe.

Honda said in February it would close its only British car plant in 2021 with the loss of up to 3,500 jobs.

Japan’s No. 3 automaker has said it would cut the number of car model variations to a third of current offerings by 2025, reducing global production costs by 10 percent and redirecting those savings toward advanced research and development.
