"Both EVs were made in collaboration with General Motors and used the same platform that underpins the Chevrolet Blazer EV. That's fine, but Honda wants more now. A lot more. So it's pouring tens of billions of dollars into a brand-new, bespoke electrical/electronic (e/e) architecture built from the ground up to support software updates, artificial intelligence and the latest advancements in manufacturing technology."
"One of the first EVs built on this new platform is called the Honda 0 Series SUV, which will start rolling off the assembly line in Ohio later this year. It's a wildly styled crossover that's expected to go head-to-head with industry heavyweights like the Tesla Model Y, Hyundai Ioniq 5 and Cadillac Optiq. Here's what to expect from the Honda 0 Series SUV, given everything we know about the EV so far."
"Honda's new EV architecture is based around a three-word mantra: Thin, Light and Wise. This means that cars based on this new platform will sit low to the ground, they'll be lightweight, and they'll have plenty of processing power. The batteries, which will be fitted into the floor, will be thin, allowing Honda to reduce the overall height of the vehicles. Thanks to megacasting and new materials, the cars will stay light."
Honda is investing tens of billions to develop a bespoke electrical/electronic architecture to support software updates, artificial intelligence and advanced manufacturing. One of the first vehicles on the new platform is the Honda 0 Series SUV, scheduled to be produced in Ohio later this year. The platform follows a Thin, Light and Wise mantra: low-slung, lightweight vehicles with significant processing power. Thin floor-integrated batteries reduce vehicle height while megacasting and new materials cut weight. The Wise element includes Asimo OS running on a custom Renesas SoC, enabling AI-infused infotainment, lidar integration and a path toward Level 3, eyes-off driving.
