Honda swappable battery wins Battery Show award. Honda's Mobile Power Pack e: swappable battery won the Sustainability & Circular Economy Excellence Award at The Battery Show 2026. Honda recently began offering the pack to U.S. businesses for product integration. Honda's Mobile Power Pack e: (MPP), a swappable battery the company describes as zero-emissions, won the Sustainability & Circular Economy Excellence Award at The Battery Show 2026. According to American Honda, the MPP is new to the U.S. market, and Honda recently began offering it for business-to-business commercial product integrations. Highlights. * Award: The MPP won the Sustainability & Circular Economy Excellence Award at The Battery Show 2026. * U.S. offering: Honda recently began offering the MPP to U.S. businesses for B2B commercial product integrations. * Open to other makers: Honda says the pack can power electric products from other original equipment manufacturers (OEMs). * Design aim: The swappable pack targets long charging times, limited range and high battery cost, according to Honda. What Honda is offering. Honda describes the MPP as a standardized, portable and swappable energy source. Because the pack can be removed and replaced, Honda says it can power a wide range of applications, including electric products made by other OEMs. The company invites interested businesses to contact its business team. Honda said earlier this year, at ACT Expo 2026, that it would begin offering the MPP for U.S. B2B product integrations in June. Honda's ACT Expo 2026 announcement says the company created the MPP to address the long charging time, inadequate range and high battery cost that affect electric mobility products. The award. The Sustainability & Circular Economy Excellence Award is presented at The Battery Show, which the release bills as North America's largest showcase for advanced battery and EV innovation. Honda says the award recognizes excellence in battery technology. The release does not list the judging criteria or other finalists. What Honda said. "We're thrilled to win the Sustainability & Circular Economy Excellence Award, as it helps validate our efforts to make the Honda Mobile Power Pack e: available to other mobility products across the mobile energy segment in North America," said Joe Juliano, Business Unit Lead of Sustainability & Business Development at American Honda Motor Co., Inc. "The Honda MPP offers a standardized zero-emissions energy solution that can reliably power a variety of equipment without downtime." Why it matters. The business signal here is the offer to outside manufacturers, not the trophy. Honda is trying to place a single swappable pack, which it calls a standardized solution, across products it does not build, and Juliano's comments frame the award as validation of that effort. The materials do not name any customer or partner company, list products from other OEMs that use the pack, or give pricing, volumes or pack specifications. Until Honda announces integration partners, the offer remains an opening for B2B interest rather than a confirmed ecosystem. Honda's battery and energy work extends beyond swappable packs. The company's R&D arm has also developed, with Taisei, the technology for in-motion wireless EV charging roads, and battery-sector recognition elsewhere includes the Green Award won by Autocraft's EV battery remanufacturing workshops.

Honda is developing an eight-seat Acura SUV to take on larger family vehicles in the US. October 15, 2026 | 03:39 IST AI Summary Honda is developing an eight-seat Acura SUV to sit above the MDX and a rugged adventure-ready model for early 2028, as the automaker pivots its US strategy toward family-friendly and hybrid vehicles following cancelled EV plans. Honda Motor Co. is working on an all-new Acura SUV that can seat up to eight passengers, making it the premium brand's largest US offering. The as-yet-unnamed model is currently in development, Honda said Tuesday, noting it's "designed to capture growing demand for more family-friendly vehicles in the premium space." It'll be positioned above the Acura MDX, which seats seven. Honda also expects to launch another Acura SUV, which it describes as "adventure-ready," in early 2028. The Japanese automaker is revamping its US lineup after canceling a number of planned all-electric vehicles earlier this year. That included a battery-powered Acura RSX and the recently discontinued ZDX, which was branded as an Acura but made by General Motors Co. The two new vehicles will boost Acura's US product portfolio to five SUVs, including the compact ADX, mid-sized MDX and recently retired RDX, which is returning in 2028 as a hybrid-only crossover. "This announcement shows we're pivoting as quickly as possible from BEVs to our newest models," said Jessica Fini, a Honda spokesperson. The more rugged SUV is expected to share a platform with the Honda Passport, while the bigger SUV will likely be based on the Honda Pilot, which seats up to eight passengers. Honda has said it plans to roll out 15 new hybrid models by March 2030, primarily in North America, as part of its effort to reallocate resources away from EVs and toward mixed powertrain vehicles. It's unclear if the two new Acura SUVs will be hybrids.
Honda recalls thousands of Accords, CR-Vs to once again address issue of flying bottle caps. This is the second time Honda has recalled Accord and CR-V models over the bizarre fault. By Emmet WhitePublished: Oct 14, 2026 11:48 AM EDT Honda recalled more than one million Accord and CR-V units earlier this summer because of a peculiar issue: a faulty tire sealant bottle. Now, the owners of more than 4000 more CR-Vs and Accords will soon head to the dealership... for the same reason. A new recall filed with the National Highway Traffic Safety Administration on Thursday, October 8, says an additional 4804 Accord and CR-V units are affected. Like the original recall, the recall includes 2023-2026 Honda CR-V Hybrid, 2025-2026 Honda CR-V Fuel Cell EV, and 2023-2026 Accord Hybrid models. The issue remains the same as well. Federal regulators say pressure may build inside the tire sealant bottle if it is improperly connected to the tire valve, potentially causing sealant to explode out of the bottle cap. However, this recall focuses not only on the existing pressure issue, but on a separate logistical issue. Recall documents filed with NHTSA claim that the supplier, Tek Corporation, accidentally mixed faulty tire sealant bottles with new bottles and resupplied Honda with the faulty bottles. Of the initial one million vehicles recalled, 4804 unlucky owners received the same faulty tire sealant bottles, instead of the remedied version. "The supplier did not implement adequate change-point management which resulted in the absence of appropriate disposal controls for pre-countermeasure parts, allowing those parts to be mixed with countermeasure parts in the supplier's warehouse. Subsequently, the supplier incorrectly shipped pre-countermeasure parts, resulting in affected vehicles being equipped with tire repair kits containing pre-countermeasure components," the NHTSA recall notice reads. Honda received notice of the incorrect shipment on July 3, 2026, and began inspecting the supposedly remedied parts in August. The Japanese automaker identified the affected population by September, and decided to issue an additional recall in October. Once again, Honda will remedy the issue by replacing the tire repair kit nozzle.

Honda CB250SS scrambler concept unveiled. October 13, 2026, 02:51 PM IST 7,263 Views * CB250SS unveiled at the CIMA motorcycle trade show * Road-centric bike with scrambler styling * Likely to be exclusive to the Chinese market Honda has unveiled a scrambler concept at the CIMA motorcycle trade show in Chongqing, China. Christened the CB250SS, it looks smashing, but availability may be limited to China, at least for the near future. The CB250SS looks like a quintessential neo-retro scrambler but the evident cycle parts suggest it is purely focused on road riding. Giving it the scrambler visual appeal are elements like a round headlamp covered with a cage, a tiny body-coloured fly screen, tall handlebar, a curvy fuel tank, chopped fenders, and a stubby tail with a ribbed-pattern seat. Accentuating its visual appeal are golden USD forks and twin exhaust pipes. The ability of the bike to go off-road seems very limited, courtesy of 17-inch alloy wheels, modest visible suspension travel, and road-biased tyres. On the feature front, it gets a round TFT display with second-generation Honda RoadSync connectivity. What Bikewale know about the engine so far is that it boasts a displacement of 249cc with liquid cooling and an assist and slipper clutch. Honda says it is tuned to deliver strong low-end torque and linear power delivery, but that's all Bikewale know for now. The chances of the Honda CB250SS coming to India are quite slim for now. However, it will be a strong and unique proposition in the quarter-litre segment, which doesn't have a scrambler-styled offering as of now. Follow Bikewale on Google News
