The Honda Insight is a hybrid electric vehicle. This car was manufactured by Honda and the first production vehicle to feature Honda’s Integrated Motor Assist system. Honda has been tightly guarding the details about its next hybrid, which the company is introducing next year.

Fukui questioned the suitability of lithium ion batteries for mass-produced vehicles. Lithium ion batteries are still not usable from our perspective. most notably General Motors, Nissan, and Mitsubishi, are basing their high-profile plans for plug-in hybrids and electric vehicles on improvements in lithium ion batteries. The technology has not yet been proven as a safe, reliable and affordable in automotive applications.

With the electric motor attached to the engine’s crankshaft, the engine never stops turning when the car is moving, as it does in the Toyota and Ford hybrids, but it can shut off the fuel supply and valves, which has a similar effect. Also, the engine uses eight spark plugs to allow greater flexibility with the firing order for more complete combustion of fuel in the cylinder. Add an improved battery pack and regenerative braking from the previous generation to produce a hybrid with Advanced Technology Partial Zero Emissions status.
