Honda Motor Co said today that it will launch its planned dedicated hybrid sedan in Japan, North America and Europe in early 2009.
The dedicated hybrid body design will likely look like the hydrogen fueled Honda Clarity. Chief Executive Takeo Fukui also said that a gasoline-electric hybrid version of the Honda Fit is expected. Honda has been working to drastically reduce production costs of their hybrid drive systems to narrow the premium difference between a gas only powered vehicle. reuters.com
