Looks like Honda will soon overtake Toyota in the green cars race. The no.2 hybrid manufacturer has earthmoving plans to make their fleet less harmful. Recently, John Mendel, American Honda Senior Vice President while summing up his company’s engine strategy categorically stated that hybrid motors would be apt for smaller vehicles, while larger ones are planned for Honda’s larger vehicles.



With the above announcement in mind, Honda would be selling 100,000 of such new smaller hybrids in 2009 and that too with a much lesser price. As for the larger vehicles, Honda will be making available such fleet in a new 4-cylinder diesel engine within three years, and the CRV and Element, it seems would be the one updated with it.
