For drivers in California who are tired of toting around a department store mannequin in their passenger seat just so they can sneak into the carpool lane, good news is here. Our favorite Japanese automaker has felt the pain of drivers who have had to endure hours of bumper-to-bumper traffic which is why four new Honda vehicles have recently been approved for use in the carpool lane regardless of occupancy.
The Honda Fit EV, the Honda Civic Natural Gas, the Honda Accord Plug-In Hybrid and the FCX Clarity fuel cell EV have all earned the right to travel in the carpool lane at any time thanks to their next-to-nothing emissions.
Vice President of Product Planning and Logistics at American Honda, Art St. Cyr commented on the state's recent recognition of the green cars, saying, "With four different Honda vehicles, the most of any automaker, providing single-occupancy access to California's carpool lanes, we are creating tremendous opportunities for consumers to save time and money and reduce their environmental footprint. Only Honda offers a broad portfolio of alternative-fuel vehicles in various sizes and body styles to meet the diverse needs of California drivers."1
We sincerely hope that this trend extends across the country and gives drivers everywhere an extra incentive to trade up for a leaner, greener car.
