American Honda announced today that it has delivered 100,000 hybrid vehicles to retail customers since it began offering the gasoline-electric technology nearly six years ago.
Honda was the first manufacturer to offer a hybrid vehicle in North America, including the Insight, Civic Hybrid and Accord Hybrid. The 100,000-hybrid milestone combines sales of all three of Honda's hybrid vehicles starting with the first Insight sale in 1999.
“We are proud to have achieved this accomplishment of selling 100,000 units,” said Richard Colliver, executive vice president of American Honda. “Honda's products deliver on the needs of a concerned automotive consumer who believes in minimally impacting the environment and conserving natural resources.”
Honda first introduced US consumers to hybrid technology with the Insight in December 1999. It launched its second hybrid vehicle, the Civic Hybrid, in March 2002, followed by the Accord Hybrid in December 2004. The company will introduce a new version of its Civic Hybrid this fall.
