While everybody is too busy developing alternative vehicles particularly plug-in hybrids, Honda Motor Co. has decided not to pursue in bringing up their version of plug-in hybrid vehicles.

According to TheAutoChannel.com, the AIADA newssheet reported that Takeo Fukui, Chief Executive of Honda Motor Co. said that plug-in hybrid gasoline-electric vehicles offered too little environmental advantages for his company to carry on. And the fact that the Chevrolet Volt that GM is planning to unleash in a few years made little sense, explained Fukui.

"My feeling is that the kind of plug-in hybrid currently proposed by different auto makers can be best described as a battery electric vehicle equipped with an unnecessary fuel engine and fuel tank," Mr. Fukui told the Wall Street Journal.

"Assuming that we can come up with a really high-performing battery that we are working on currently, I think a battery electric vehicle [that uses such battery technology] would actually be a plus from an environmental point of view."

Mr. Fukui's safe remarks about an untimely operation of lithium-ion batteries to understand a vehicle like the Chevy Volt went after an equally secured viewpoint outline prior to this week by Toyota. Mr. Fukui worried that Honda could effortlessly build up a plug-in hybrid within two years, said last Tuesday.

"But I don't think that would contribute to the global environment, to reduce [global warming gas] emissions," he said.
