As Honda accelerates its electrification strategy towards its 2050 carbon neutrality goal, the company is ramping up its electric vehicle offerings. Globally, Honda aims to introduce approximately 10 new EV models by 2025, and in Vietnam, the company has already launched a few official electric motorcycle models, such as the ICON e: and CUV e:. However, the current lineup is still limited.

Currently, only two electric motorcycle models are officially distributed by Honda Vietnam
Let’s take a look at some of the potential Honda electric vehicles that could soon be launched in Vietnam.
