New Honda Factory Opens In China With Capacity To Produce 120 Thousand Electric Cars Per Year, Revolutionizing The Automotive Industry.

The first and new Honda factory dedicated to electric cars has just opened in China. The Japanese automotive manufacturer, in partnership with Dongfeng Motor, inaugurated the facility, which will produce global electric vehicles, in the Wuhan Economic and Technological Development Zone. This is the fourth Dongfeng Honda factory built in the region.

New Honda Factory Will Cover 630 Thousand m²

The new Honda factory for electric cars is located in the city of Wuhan, Hubei province. The factory has a capacity of about 120 thousand units per year and invests around 4 billion yuan, equivalent to US$ 565 million, according to the companies.

In China, the automotive manufacturer promises to launch 10 new electric cars by 2027. The Japanese manufacturer’s goal is to sell only electric vehicles in the Chinese market by 2035.

The shift with the new Honda factory aligns with the electrification trend of the Chinese automotive market. Gasoline car brands have faced strong competitive pressure from Chinese brands. Recent data shows that from January to September this year, Honda’s cumulative car sales in China were 588,018 vehicles, a decline of 42.93% compared to the same period last year.

This marks the ninth consecutive month of decline in sales compared to the same period last year for Honda in China since February of this year.

To adapt to the new moment in the automotive industry, the brand has set electric transformation goals, building two new new energy vehicle factories (Wuhan and Guangzhou), with plans to have 10 models of 100% electric vehicles in China by 2027.

At the same time, Honda plans to reduce gasoline car production capacity. On July 25, Honda announced it would close a joint venture factory located in Wuhan and suspend production starting November this year, thus reducing the annual production capacity of gasoline cars in China from 1.49 million to 1 million vehicles.

New Electric Car Platform

In addition to the new Honda factory, the brand also announced its new electric car platform. Tochigi is sacred ground for Honda, so it is natural for the brand to bring various global journalists there to evaluate the first results of its internally developed electric vehicle program: the Honda 0 Series.

Honda has several electric car programs underway at the same time. In Europe and China, there is the E:N architecture, which already has some models on European and Chinese roads, such as the Honda E:NY1. However, this model is unlikely to reach North America.

Mechanically, the platform itself is a big deal for Honda, although if you are an electric vehicle fan, Honda’s new technologies serve as a sort of parity for the course of any new electric vehicle project.

Não tem almoço grátis. O futuro vai mostrar a dificuldade de descartar resíduos de baterias de lítio, sem contar as explosões e consequente aumento no seguro dos automóveis.

O lobby dessas empresas é grande. Penso o mesmo. O ideal são carros híbridos, são melhores para o maio ambiente, a tecnologia muito melhor. Outra coisa tem a tecnologia de células de hidrogênio que também é melhor para o meio ambiente. Mas o ser humano é ganancioso e ****.

Tudo errado, o carro híbrido tem imensos problemas, os do eléctrico, os do motor de combustão e ainda a gestão dois dois em conjunto. para não falar que a maioria das pessoas não necessita, não faz KMS suficientes e transporta peso desnecessário. Hidrogênio no momento é um sonho,. Não e existe hidrogênio verde, tudo é extraído de combustível fóssil, é continuar a poluir. Para não falar em problemas de transporte e avarias recorrentes nos carros.. É desconhecimento e inventar.

Ah, espionagem industrial chinesa? Deve ser isso! Ou talvez a Honda simplesmente aprendeu a fazer carros elétricos melhores que você 😂.

New Electric Car Platform

A giant printer called the “Ferrari” of concrete has landed in Latin America and can already build a 120-square-meter house in just 48 hours, making the traditional construction site look like something from the last century.

Brazil will harvest a record crop of up to 357 million tons of grains, but it does not have the capacity to store a large part of it. The storage deficit has reached the highest level in history and is equivalent to almost the entire production of Argentina.

Four times faster than the Concorde, capable of taking passengers from New York to London in less than an hour at Mach 5.5, and with an engine that switches from turbojet to ramjet mid-flight at Mach 3.5, the Hermeus Quarterhorse went from paper to its first flight in just 19 months.

Under nearly 2 kilometers of ice in Antarctica, scientists have discovered an ancient landscape sculpted by rivers up to 60 million years ago, the size of Wales, preserved as a time capsule that could help predict the advance of ice towards the ocean.

She started by collecting oyster shells from restaurants and today she has already accumulated more than 10 tons to restore reefs, recover coastal habitats, and demonstrate how a common waste can become a tool for ocean conservation.

SpaceX will dock a $843 million vehicle to the International Space Station to push a nearly 420-ton laboratory against the atmosphere and make the debris fall in a controlled manner into the ocean.

For the economist José Kobori, the USA gained a trump card to “blackmail” Brazil and undermine China’s influence by classifying the PCC and Comando Vermelho as terrorists, increasing the power to pressure companies, banks, and even Pix.

BYD Atto 2 DM-i flex prepares to debut in Brazil with a plug-in hybrid engine, national assembly in Camaçari, competitive pricing, and targets Creta and T-Cross in a battle that promises to heat up the compact SUV market.

Processors can become 1,000 times faster with a new device that uses light pulses, operates in 40 picoseconds, and reduces the heat that stalls data centers.

Noise in the sky frightened residents: NASA confirms that a meteor exploded over New England with a force equivalent to 230 tons of TNT

The paycheck that seemed impossible: São José employee receives R$ 7.94 after legal strike, while deductions by the City Hall affect over a thousand employees and become a target of inquiry in the City Council.
