Report: Honda leads pack with four HOV qualifying vehicles in California
Filed under: Hydrogen, MPG, LA Auto Show, Natural Gas
Honda is tooting its fuel-efficient horn, boasting that it has more vehicles than any other manufacturer - four - that qualify for access to California's coveted HOV lanes.
That number represents an impressive mix of cutting edge eco-friendly technologies - electric, plug-in hybrid, natural gas and hydrogen fuel cell. The HOV qualifiers are the Honda Fit EV, which is rated at 118 miles per gallon equivalent (MPGe); the Honda Accord Plug-in, rated at 115 MPGe; the Honda Civic Natural Gas, rated at 31 MPG; and the Honda FCX Clarity hydrogen fuel cell vehicle, rated at 60 MPEe.
Honda may have the most HOV-eligible vehicles, but it's certainly not alone. The current Chevrolet Volt qualifies and, most recently, the Ford Focus Electric and Ford Fusion Energi gained access to the HOV lanes. Anybody who has ever been stuck on California's 405 or 10 around Los Angeles knows how much time, fuel and frustration that can alleviate. Despite the appeal, California has more stickers than takers, for now.Continue reading Honda leads pack with four HOV qualifying vehicles in California
