By 2040, Honda say they aim for EVs and FCEVs (fuel cell electric vehicles) to represent 100% of their global vehicle sales. 

Whilst the news primarily relates to Honda’s automotive production, no distinction was made for its motorcycle manufacturing division. 

Starting in 2030, the automotive giant has announced it plans to invest 10 trillion yen (over £50 billion) over a decade long period into developments relating to EVs, signifying a significant commitment to phase out its sale of fossil fuel powered vehicles.
