Honda Vietnam Company (HVN) officially marks an important milestone in its electrification journey with the launch of the first domestically-produced electric motorcycle, the ICON e:.
This not only marks the beginning of a new era of mobility but also demonstrates Honda’s strong commitment to providing environmentally-friendly vehicles, aiming for a green and sustainable future for the people of Vietnam.
Over its nearly 30-year presence and development in Vietnam, HVN has continuously strived to offer the best products and services, as well as the most practical added values, to satisfy customers. At the same time, the company remains dedicated to contributing to the sustainable development of society.
This is also the orientation and commitment of HVN to realize the joy and freedom of mobility for everyone without impacting the environment, striving to become a “Company Society Looks Forward to.”
With the goal of reducing CO2 emissions by 46% by 2030 and achieving net-zero emissions by 2050, HVN continuously invests in advanced technology and implements key projects, paving the way for a green, modern, and sustainable mobility era. Notably, the company’s plan to develop electric motorcycles in Vietnam stands out.
After a long period of research, testing, and production, HVN proudly introduces its first electric motorcycle, the ICON e: – a friendly, safe, and reliable electric scooter for high school students, the next generation that will shoulder the mission of facing the challenges of climate change and carbon neutrality.
ICON e: – Modern Convenience, Superior Safety
First introduced at the Vietnam Auto & Motorcycle Show 2024, the ICON e: quickly attracted attention from numerous parents and students thanks to its youthful, modern, and premium design, along with a series of outstanding safety features. The scooter is equipped with a Lithium-ion battery that is anti-explosion, IP67 water-resistant, easily detachable, and flexible for direct charging on the vehicle or separately.
The advanced Combined Braking System (CBS) shortens braking distance and enhances safety, while the premium LED lighting system improves visibility, providing maximum peace of mind during rides.
Additionally, the scooter boasts a spacious 26-liter trunk, two convenient front compartments, and a USB Type-A charging port, all designed to offer a comfortable and convenient experience for dynamic young riders.
Precise and Strict Production Process – Modern Green Technology
ICON e: is not just an advanced product but also a testament to HVN’s remarkable progress in manufacturing technology. The entire production process, from the initial stages to final assembly, is strictly controlled to ensure that each component meets the highest standards of accuracy and consistency.
Modern welding and painting robots, along with Autonomous Mobile Robots (AMRs) for parts transportation, optimize the process, reduce production time, and minimize manual errors. Notably, the Nut Runner technology ensures tight and precise connections, combined with a camera system and modern inspection screens for quick fault detection, guaranteeing the highest quality before vehicles leave the factory. The battery, the heart of electric vehicles, is stored in a specialized warehouse to maintain optimal durability and performance.
Each completed vehicle undergoes a rigorous inspection process according to Honda’s standards and Vietnamese law, including test drives on a dedicated track, to ensure safety and perfect operation when delivered to customers. Contributing to this success is a team of experienced and dedicated technicians who continuously strive to deliver high-quality, safe, and durable products.
Honda Vietnam – Accompanying a Sustainable Future
The birth of the ICON e: marks a significant step forward, reflecting HVN’s efforts in striving for a green and sustainable future.
Officially launched in April 2025, the ICON e: promises to become a trusted companion, joining the youth on their journey towards a green and modern lifestyle.
