2024 Honda Sustaina-C Concept

Honda will present its evolutionary approach towards more sustainable product design with a European preview of its latest electrified urban vehicle concepts, SUSTAINA-C Concept and Pocket Concept, at Milan Design Week, from 16 to 21 April.

Together with the SH125i "Vetro" scooter, the two Concepts will be on display to highlight that it is possible to use innovative materials and create a unique design aesthetic, while reducing the CO2 emissions generated by the production process. This is one way Honda plans to achieve carbon neutrality across all its products and operations by 2050.

As already shown at the Japan Mobility Show 2024, SUSTAINA-C Concept is an example of how society can free itself from the constraints of limited resources. The SUSTAINA-C Concept is complemented by the Pocket Concept, a compact motorcycle that can be loaded in the trunk of your car for last-mile mobility.

The panels are produced using recycled acrylic resin, coming from end-of-life optical units, to obtain external panels that do not require painting. In this way, Honda has created a unique paint-free finish that would not be possible to achieve with traditional materials.

This approach to materials allows emissions to be reduced by up to 45% during the production process, partly thanks to the use of recycled materials and partly because the panels do not require painting, a process which can account for up to 80% of emissions. CO2 generated by an automotive plant.
