This title says a lot about the intentions of the Japanese manufacturer. The all-new, 100% electric Honda e-Prototype model officially debuted at the 2019 Geneva Motor Show.

Since the Japanese manufacturer is a pioneer in the defense of the environment, we were expecting him to present us with a 100% electric vehicle, and now it's done. At Honda Longueuil, your Honda dealer par excellence on the South Shore, just minutes away from Montreal, we know how to do things big when it comes to talking about the environment.

Environment and Electric Vehicles: A Legendary Combination at Honda

We must point out that unlike others, the Japanese manufacturer didn’t start to be concerned about the environment just a couple years ago. For more than 55 years, Honda has been constantly thinking about doing what’s best for future generations. "A blue sky for our kids" is the vision we can read that drives Honda to reduce CO2 emissions on both its vehicles and its facilities across the world.

When we take a closer look at Honda's sustainability policy, we are struck by the recycling efforts made by the company and by its insistence on environmental accountability and influence. Since 2004, Honda vehicles have been designed to be 90% recyclable. This idea is also part of the drive to introduce consumers to more and more hybrid and electric vehicles.

Recycling is an important part of Honda plants and buildings around the world. Honda is also taking charge with regard to public health and the preservation of the environment. By renovating its plant in Alliston, Ontario, the manufacturer was able to reduce 44% of its greenhouse gas emissions. Honda Canada's head office in Markham, Ontario has all of the ISO and LEED certifications: the building uses a lighting that consumes 33% less energy and uses up to 89% less water than comparable building used for the same purpose. The company managed to avoid sending 99% of its waste to landfills in 2017.

To link its environmental elements to the Honda vehicles of the future, let's talk about its latest innovation, the introduction this year of a 100% electric Honda. This news follows a long environmental tradition worthy of Honda. Some time ago, Japanese engineers were working on the idea of putting a 100% electric Honda on the roads. Electric driving is now possible thanks to Honda's Urban EV, launched in production for the European market this year and will soon arrive in Canada and the United States.

If this car looks like the first models of the Honda Civic, it has a more retro look of small size with its four doors. Its 100% electric motor, its dark, but innovative interior shows a panoramic dashboard with sleek elements and intuitive technology.

The driver of an Urban EV can navigate and interact with other features (Bluetooth, phone, USB port, HDMI, radio, etc.). The wood veneer gives an urban look to the whole car. Its classic steering wheel also reinforce the idea of making the car sleek and very avant-garde. In short, the new Urban EV, the Honda vehicle of the future, exudes an impression of minimalism, which is very pleasant under every angle.
