Honda announced plans to continue cooperation with Kumamoto Prefecture to advance their Electric Vehicle Testing Program for "next-generation personal mobility products," ie: electric vehicles (EVs). Earlier this month, Honda announced its Electric Vehicle Testing Programs in the US and Japan.
Honda and Kumamoto Prefecture entered an agreement to perform these tests through March 2013. Honda has already begun testing the Monpal ML200 electric cart. Additional programs will take place in Kumamoto City, Minamata City, Aso and Amakusa to help realize a "low-carbon mobility society in the future."
The program will study the following:
The practicality and convenience of electromotive technology featured on next-generation personal mobility products, including Honda's EV and plug-in hybrid vehicles, the EV-neo electric scooter and the Monpal ML200 electric cart.
The effectiveness of solar power generation and other renewable energy sources in helping to realize a low-carbon mobility society.
The potential of next-generation personal mobility to enhance the QOL (quality of life) of residents in local communities.
When the results are analyzed, Honda will have the most specific electric car data ever compiled by an auto maker.
