ROME – The Japanese car giant Honda is the first manufacturer in the country to have set the target of 2040 as the deadline after which only electric cars will be produced and sold.

The electric breakthrough of the group led by the new CEO, Toshihiro Mibe, will also affect motorcycles, a sector in which the group has set the goal of launching three new electric models by 2024 and reaching 15 million units sold within the same year. . An integral part of the corporate strategy will be the alliances, first of all the one reached with Yamaha, Ktm and with the Italian Piaggio which will create the first consortium within the next year with the aim of developing a technical standard for interchangeable batteries for mopeds, motorcycles, tricycles and quadricycles.
