This is a significant increase from the initial goal of 3.5 million units. This ambitious endeavor positions Honda as a frontrunner in the global electric motorcycle market.

Honda plans to introduce 30 new electric motorcycle models worldwide by 2030, marking a pivotal shift towards sustainable transportation. Additionally, the company intends to establish dedicated electric motorcycle plants globally, with operations expected to commence around 2027.

During an online news briefing, Daiki Mihara, head of Honda’s motorcycle electrification development division, emphasized the company’s commitment to making electric motorbikes affordable. “We aim to sell electric motorbikes at the same price as ICE models,” he stated, referring to internal combustion engines. Honda envisions India and the Association of Southeast Asian Nations (ASEAN) region as strategic areas for market expansion.

With an eye on financial sustainability, Honda is targeting an operating profit margin of over 10% for its overall motorcycle business and over 5% for electric motorcycles by the year 2030. This financial foresight indicates the company’s commitment to ensuring the economic viability of its electric endeavours.
