Honda to stop sales of vehicles with diesel powertrain by 2021

KUALA LUMPUR: Japanese automobile manufacturer, Honda Motor Co Ltd. has announced that it would phase out the sales of all the diesel cars in its lineup by 2021. All its future models will come equipped with an electric propulsion system. The carmaker took this decision intending to electrify all of its European cars by the year 2025.

Honda is the most recent carmaker who is ending the production of diesel cars to comply with the stringent global emissions norms. This move is a part of its long-term aim of manufacturing electric vehicles, which will include all battery-powered electric cars. This will account for two-thirds of its range by 2030. Achieving this goal seems to be a bit difficult as Honda lacks the manufacturing experience of Nissan when it comes to building electric cars.

For the brand, the dropping demand for vehicles with diesel engines and more strict emissions regulations have made its manufacturing prospects dull in Europe. In February, the carmaker stated that it would shut down its Swindon, UK plant in 2021 and that could result in the loss of up to 3,500 jobs.

The European Union’s strict emission norms aim states that by the succeeding year, the discharge of CO2 will be reduced to 95 g/km for the majority of the cars. The current figure for the CO2 emission lies at 120.5 g/km on an average. In addition to that, the numbers have grown of late as buyers phase-out fuel-efficient diesel powertrains while holding SUVs. According to the reports, all new cars that would be sold in Europe have to be compliant with the strict emission norms in the year 2021.
