Honda Presents World Premiere of Honda S+ Shift, Next-generation e: HEV Technology
TOKYO, Dec 19, 2024 – (JCN Newswire) – Honda Motor Co., Ltd. held a press instruction on next-generation innovations for its initial 2-motor hybrid system, e: HEV *, and provided the opening night of Honda S+ Shift innovation. Honda prepares to set up Honda S+ Shift in all of its future hybrid-electric car (HEV) designs including the next-generation e: HEV, beginning with the brand new Honda Prelude arranged to go on sale in 2025.

The initial Honda e: HEV hybrid system integrates extraordinary fuel economy (ecological efficiency), attained by the extremely effective 2-motor hybrid system, and top quality and exciting driving experience (driving efficiency), provided by the high-powered traction motor. By efficiently rotating in between the motor and the engine as a source of driving force and using extremely effective controls depending upon the driving environment and conditions, e: HEV attains high fuel economy without making it a mindful effort of the motorist and understands driving at the will of the chauffeur, reacting linearly to chauffeur inputs.
The recently established Honda S+ Shift is a brand-new function developed to pursue the “delight of driving” that additional emphasizes the sense of oneness in between the motorist and the lorry, while completely leveraging the attributes of the e: HEV system. The additional improvement was made to the Linear Shift Control integrating automobile speed with engine noise, which has actually been set up in e: HEV designs beginning with the Fit e: HEV that released in 2020. Without jeopardizing high ecological efficiency distinct to HEV designs, the Honda S+ Shift specifically manages the engine RPM throughout velocity and deceleration to recognize direct drive reaction and sharp equipment moving. The effective engine noise integrates with the Active Sound Control (ASC) system, improving engine sound quality by providing the engine noise in sync with engine RPM through the speaker system and the extremely responsive meter screen. In this method the Honda S+ Shift will promote all of the chauffeur's senses and offer exciting driving at the will of the chauffeur, even more “integrating” the chauffeur and the lorry.
Secret functions of Honda S+ Shift
– By connecting 2 high-power motors with the ASC system, the Honda S+ Shift attains vibrant engine RPM modifications and a sharp upshift sensation, supplying feedback that resonates with all of the chauffeur's senses, enhancing the sense of oneness in between the motorist and the car.
– The Honda S+ Shift additional advances the Linear Shift Control used to existing e: HEV designs, making it possible for equipment shifts (upshift and downshift) according to the driving conditions and environments at all speed varieties. While turning, the Honda S+ Shift system rapidly reacts to chauffeur steering input and triggers shift hold, allowing the automobile to trace the preferred driving line at the will of the chauffeur.
– By preserving the ideal engine RPM for the specific driving conditions, the power created by the engine throughout re-acceleration will be totally made use of as driving force.
