Keeping in view the increased demand last year, Honda Motors has decided to focus on sales of hybrid models and light trucks in the United States.

In place of all-electric vehicles buyers chose hybrid vehicles which led the legacy car manufacturer to narrow their focus to the sales of the latter.

“In 2023, we were finally able to meet the pent-up demand for our products," said American Honda's senior vice president of sales, Mamadou Diallo.

Honda expects full-year sales in the United States to jump between 10% and 15% from a year ago.

Honda's US electrified sales, which include hybrid vehicles and some fuel-cell models, rose a little over three times in 2023.

The Japanese automaker also said it would begin sales of three zero-emission vehicles in 2024.
