Geneva Motor Show 2010: The Zero Emission Honda 3R-C
Geschreven op 26-2-2010 - Erik van Erne. Geplaatst in Agenda, Vervoer en OV
The revolutionary Honda 3R-C concept will make its world debut in Geneva, alongside the EV-N concept which makes its European debut at the show.
This revolutionary three wheeled battery electric vehicle concept shows what a future minimal urban transport vehicle for one person might look like.
The battery electric drivetrain is mounted low in the three wheeled chassis, therefore keeping the centre of gravity low and thus improving stability. The Honda 3R-C has a clear canopy that covers the driver’s seat while it is parked and not in use. When 3R-C vehicle is in motion, the canopy becomes an enveloping wind-shield that provides the pilot, who sits low in the vehicle, with significant protection from the bodywork and doors.
The high sides of the safety shell seat give greater safety to the occupant, reducing the threat from side impacts and improving weather protection. In front of the driver is a lockable boot area, which gives significant secure storage for luggage or other items. The 3R-C’s designers created a flexible cover that surrounds the upper torso to reduce exposure to bad weather and improving comfort.
The 3R-C study was created by European designers working at Honda’s Research and Design facility in Milan. Source Honda via Autoblog Green

Honda hybride en elektrische wagens tegen 2012
De Japanse autofabrikant Honda Motor stapt mee in de race naar zuiniger wagens. De groep wil over twee jaar zowel een hybride als een zuiver elektrische auto op de markt brengen.
Tegen 2015 wil Honda het aandeel van hybride wagens in zijn productie verdubbelen van 5 tot 10%. De nieuwe elektrische wagen zal oplaadbaar zijn via het stopcontact. Honda stapt daarmee af van de brandstofceltechnologie.
