TOKYO: Honda Motor Co said on Wednesday it would begin selling micro-sized commercial electric vans in spring 2024, as part of its effort to electrify its vehicle lineups. Japanese automakers are turning to small commercial trucks as one way to make battery electric vehicles (BEVs) popular in the country, tapping into car size unique to the country amid pressure to slash its carbon footprint. Honda's electric van has a target cruising range of 200km (125 miles) and is seeking to set the price at around 1 million yen ($7,270). Gasoline- electric hybrid models remain far more popular in Japan and BEVs accounted for just 1% of the passenger cars sold in Japan last year. Still, automakers believe small commercial vehicles are key to popularise BEVs in the country, saying 40% of cars on the road are micro "kei" cars and businesses are under pressure from investors to reduce their carbon footprint. "We believe that the fastest way to spread the use of electr...
