Original Hybrid System Integrates Environmental Performance and FUN at a High Level

Honda began taking initiatives, ahead of the times, to adopt electrification technologies to its automobiles in various ways, in order to reduce CO₂ emissions, which Honda considers a critical challenge for a manufacturer of mobility products. Among these electrification technologies, hybrid-electric systems are the most familiar one, and Honda is further expanding its lineup of hybrid-electric models.

A hybrid-electric vehicle is equipped with electric motors in addition to an engine and achieves excellent fuel economy by efficiently using those two power sources.

The e:HEV hybrid-electric system was created by combining all of the engine and electrification technologies Honda has amassed to date and adopting a host of new technologies to achieve overwhelmingly high fuel economy and a new level of fun of driving.

The electric motor drives the vehicle for the entire speed range, and the internal combustion engine is engaged while cruising at suitable high speeds. The system combines efficient operation with the responsive acceleration of electric driving.

Honda e:HEV Hybrid-electric System Brings the Best Out of the Motors and Engine

A generator motor converts engine power into electricity. The drive motor uses electricity to turn the wheels. A lithium-ion battery stores energy for use when needed.

Power management selects the combination that suits speed and driving conditions. During suitable high-speed cruising, a clutch can connect the engine directly to the wheels.

Three Drive Modes, Selected Automatically

EV drive: battery energy powers the motor when conditions allow. The engine remains off.

Hybrid drive: the engine powers the generator, producing electricity for the drive motor.

Engine drive: at suitable cruising speeds, the engine can drive the wheels directly.

Regenerative braking recovers energy as the vehicle slows and stores it in the battery.

The Difference Between e:HEV and Other Hybrid-electric Systems

A series hybrid uses the engine to generate electricity while a motor drives the wheels. A parallel hybrid can combine engine and motor power at the wheels.

Honda e:HEV uses motor drive through much of everyday driving, then can connect the engine directly to the wheels during suitable high-speed cruising. It does not require external charging.
