Honda Canada Inc. entered into a joint partnership with Toyota Canada and Transition énergétique Québec that will invest in a hydrogen infrastructure project on the south shore of Montreal to be completed by the end of 2019. The expansion of hydrogen infrastructure in the province illustrates the company’s commitment to expanding clean mobility options and reducing greenhouse gas emissions.
“For Honda Canada, this investment in hydrogen infrastructure is about supporting progress in clean mobility options,” said Jean Marc Leclerc, senior vice president of sales and marketing, Honda Canada Inc. “In the short term, this investment will create an environment where we can continue to test our products and educate Canadians on the vast potential of hydrogen powered vehicles today knowing that mass adoption could take some time.”
Led by its Blue Skies for Our Children philosophy, which centers around a concept of creating mobility products with the least impact on the environment, the last 50 years of Honda’s environmental leadership consisted of moments where the company battled with convention to introduce new ideas that set benchmarks for innovation. Honda has continued to succeed in Canada by a steady cadence of technology investments that would move the company towards its global 2030 Vision and dream of creating a carbon free future.
Currently, Honda’s fleet has one of the lowest overall greenhouse gas emissions in the industry attributed to its portfolio of low emission vehicles, led by both highly efficient internal combustion engines and hybrid powertrains, complemented by the recently launched Clarity Plug-in Hybrid.
