Honda Hybrid Sales Reach 1-Million Mark

Honda has announced that it has managed to sell one million hybrid vehicles, some 13 years after the first generation Insight went on sale in Japan, which at the time was the world’s most fuel-efficient gasoline-powered vehicle.

They managed to reach 100,000 units sold in April of 2005, following the 2004 launch of the Accord Hybrid, for the North American market. Following the launch of the second generation Insight, in February of 2009, and the CR-Z and Fit Hybrid in 2010, by the end of the year they had totaled 600,000 sold.

The last hybrid to be launched, which made a difference, is the Acura ILX hybrid, which is only available in Canada and the US. Their range of hybrids now totals 8 models, which are sold in some 50 countries around the world, and have a very devoted audience.
