Honda Vision 110, a popular scooter in European countries is revised with its new styling, new smart key system, new and lighter frame. Also, Honda comes with an updated engine that meets the latest Euro 5 regulations. Vision 110 is one of Honda's most popular sales internationally, although it isn't available in India. Honda has picked out some important updates for Vision 110, yet still lags in giving it a complete redesign. 

The New Smart Key system introduced by Honda allows the rider to open the under-seat storage space and start the bike up, without taking the key out of his or her pocket. The new 2021 update for a lighter frame, reduces the weight of the bike by over 2kg, with kerb weight now rated at 100 kg. The 109.5 cc two-valve, single-cylinder engine makes 8.6 bhp at 7,500 rpm with 9 Nm of peak torque at 5,750 rpm.

The updates to the engine are mainly to meet the latest emission regulations, although fuel economy is now claimed at 55 kmpl, which is said to be five percent more fuel-efficient than the outgoing model. With a 4.9-liter fuel tank, the Vision 110 is capable of a range of over 250 km on a tankful of fuel. 

The Honda Vision was introduced in 2011, with 14-inch wheels and a combi-brake system. The scooter has been in production in Honda's China plant since 2011 and has been offered on sale in several European markets, including Italy and Germany

GENERAL MOTORS ELECTRIC VEHICLE PLAN JUST GOT BIGGER BOLDER AND EXPENSIVE

General Motors and Honda are moving toward an alliance in North America to share vehicle development and technology costs as the industry moves toward electric and autonomous vehicles.

The nonbinding memorandum of understanding was announced Thursday, and the companies say they plan to share vehicle underpinnings as well as engines and transmissions.

It’s another sign of increasing consolidation in the automotive business as companies face huge capital outlays to develop current products as well as battery-powered and self-driving vehicles.

“The auto industry has a long history of being pressured by costs and lower (profit) margins,” said Edward Jones analyst Jeff Windau. “They’re trying to get to the other side here on an expensive vehicle development process, and being able to do that as efficiently as possible.”

No details were given on what vehicles would be developed jointly, but the companies said in a statement that planning work will start immediately and include vehicles powered by both electricity and internal combustion engines. Engineering work would begin early next year. They also will cooperate on manufacturing, parts purchasing, research and connected services.

Earlier this year, crosstown rival Ford finalized a similar deal with Germany’s Volkswagen, while Italian-American automaker Fiat Chrysler is heading toward a merger with France’s PSA Peugeot early in 2021.

In the GM-Honda deal, the companies say they’ll collaborate on a “range of vehicles sold under each company’s distinct brands.”

The announcement builds on work the companies have been doing jointly on electric and hydrogen fuel cell vehicles, as well as an autonomous vehicle. In April the companies announced they would jointly develop two electric vehicles for Honda based on GM’s global electric vehicle platform. Windau said the fuel cell work started in 2013, so it’s no surprise that the cooperation would be broadened.

“The alliance will help both companies accelerate investment in future mobility innovation by freeing up additional resources,” GM President Mark Reuss said Thursday in a statement. He said the companies would get “significant synergies” in developing vehicles.

“We can achieve substantial cost efficiencies in North America that will enable us to invest in future mobility technology while maintaining our own distinct and competitive product offerings,” Honda Executive Vice President Seiji Kuraishi said in the statement.

The alliance would be governed by a joint committee of senior executives from both companies, the statement said.

Windau said the alliance could extend to one company making vehicles for the other at one of its factories in the U.S., where GM has excess manufacturing capacity. It would be relatively simple to build a Honda on a GM assembly line if the vehicles were built on the same platform and had the same powertrains, he said.

Differentiating between Honda and GM vehicles built on the same underpinnings could be a problem, although Windau expects GM to focus on trucks and larger vehicles and Honda on vehicles built off of car platforms.

Windau says he doesn’t see the alliance evolving into a full merger between the U.S. and Japanese automakers.
