Honda Trio Among America’s Greenest

Honda once again offers some of the greenest vehicle in the country—according to the American Council for an Energy-Efficient Economy (ACEEE), which recently named three Honda products to its Greenest Vehicles of 2013 list:

• Honda Fit EV—With an EPA-certified all-electric driving range of 82 miles, the Fit EV delivers efficiency grades of 132 MPGe city/105 MPGe highway/118 MPGe combined. And remember, since it runs solely on electricity, Honda’s high-efficiency hatchback delivers all those advantages without producing any tailpipe emissions at all.
• Honda Civic Hybrid—The hybrid version of Honda’s award-winning compact already was capable of 44 mpg in all phases of the EPA testing regimen as an all-new 2012 model, and now it will get significantly upgraded to match the rest of the Civic lineup for 2013.
• Honda Insight—The least expensive hybrid in America—with an MSRP that opens at $18,500—is capable of posting an EPA line of 41 mpg city/44 mpg highway/42 mpg combined.

In addition to this tree-friendly trio, the Honda Odyssey and conventionally powered Honda Fit also were lauded by the ACEEE as “greener choices” in their individual segments. The former is the most fuel-efficient minivan in America, with EPA marks as high as 19 mpg city/28 mpg highway/22 mpg combined, while the latter rings up a fuel-economy score of up to 28 mpg city/35 mpg highway/31 combined.

“The recognition by ACEEE of Honda’s alternative fuel and fuel-efficient vehicles over the past 15 years further validates our commitment to create and deliver more energy-efficient, low emissions mobility solutions for society,” said Steven Center, vice president of the Environmental Business Development Office at American Honda Motor Co., Inc. “Honda’s vision for reducing greenhouse gas emissions, which is reflected in our environmental slogan of “Blue Skies for our Children,” inspires us to lead and innovate in every aspect of our operations, from our product engineering and manufacturing practices to our upstream sales and service activities.”
