JAKARTA - Honda has plans to bring in more electric vehicles. In addition, they have also unraveled the electrification strategy and will launch seven models globally by the end of the decade.

According to the Motor1 alert, Friday, May 17, a number of these models will be part of the Series 0 lineup that was introduced earlier this year and its size varies. However, unique things in this planning don't just end there.

The company with the 'H' logo will take advantage of the ability to develop Formula 1 cars to develop next-generation electric vehicles with lighter weights.

The goal is to reduce about 220 pounds (100 kg) compared to the previous electric car. This weight reduction includes a lighter body frame and a thin-dimensional electric motor.

Engineers will install electric motors and batteries in a low position in the middle of the EV, thus lowering its center of gravity to sharpen its control. Honda also promised to present electric cars with high-end efficiency.

Honda also said its newest EV will offer sports vehicles to offer pleasure in driving. Earlier this year, Honda Toshihiro Mibe CEO promised an electric vehicle that had a different flavor when compared to the previous sports car.

However, the manufacturer looks set to focus on the SUV and crossover segments first. The 0 series is scheduled to launch in the second half of the decade and first pave in North America, before globally.

This is followed by medium size and entry-level SUVs in the same period. Then, the manufacturer will offer a three-line large-dimensional SUV in 2027 which is then followed by a compact SUV a year later.

Furthermore, Honda will also expand the EV market by presenting a small SUV in 2029 and a compact sedan for 2030.
