Описание: Formula One Goes Green: Honda’s New Power Unit Revealed

Honda Motor Company has officially unveiled its next-generation Formula One power unit, marking a major milestone ahead of its highly anticipated F1 comeback.

The new hybrid power unit has been developed in line with Formula One’s 2026 regulations, where:

Electric motor and internal combustion engine contribute nearly 50–50

Low-carbon synthetic fuel becomes mandatory

CO₂ emissions and fuel efficiency are central to performance

Honda will supply this advanced power unit exclusively to the Aston Martin Formula One Team, reinforcing its return as a full works power-unit manufacturer.

Alongside the engine, Honda also revealed a new concept vehicle equipped with this advanced drivetrain, highlighting how racing technology will feed directly into future passenger and electric vehicles.

Honda President Toshihiro Mibe stated that Formula One is no longer just about speed, but the ultimate testbed for:

Manufacturing excellence

Hybrid efficiency

Decarbonisation technologies

Honda’s Formula One journey began in 1964, and this marks the company’s fifth comeback, first announced in 2023.

Meanwhile, Formula One’s global popularity is surging:

6.7 million spectators attended races in 2025, a 1.6× increase vs 2019

Japan Grand Prix 2025 recorded its highest attendance since 2009

Bottom line:
Honda’s F1 return is not nostalgia—it’s a strategic R&D investment where racing, sustainability, and next-generation mobility converge.
