Gardner added, the various challenges faced to move there are to produce products that are more environmentally friendly for human mobility. Technology continues to grow rapidly, and people also begin to change their views on the car itself.

Honda's commitment was realized through the Honda e-Prototype which was first shown at the Geneva exhibition. Honda said the car will be the first four-wheeled electric passenger vehicle to be mass produced by the end of 2019 in Europe.

Honda e-Prototype itself will be used as an urban vehicle. The car is called capable of driving up to 200 kilometers in a fully charged battery condition and has a fast-charging feature that can charge 80 percent in 30 minutes.
