Forever Determined
September 30 2022, Honda Canada
Building on its recent "Origin of Determination" campaign with a story of mobility innovation only Honda can tell, the brand's latest spot shows how Honda is taking on new challenges to create future mobility products and experiences.
"Forever Determined" puts viewers in the driver's seat of some of Honda's most iconic products – past, present and future – all developed through innovative technology and the sheer determination of Honda engineers. The new campaign also highlights new initiatives that enable Honda to take on future challenges. "Forever Determined" will be featured across a wide range of media platforms and across all social media channels.
"Our path to an electrified future includes connecting with a new generation of customers by telling the Honda story, which is rich in history and unlike any other manufacturer in the world," says Steve Hui, Assistant Vice President Honda Canada. "Honda's future includes new and innovative mobility initiatives and products that share the same spirt as the motorcycles, marine engines, cars, trucks and jets we've been making for decades."

Honda's Commitment to a Zero Emissions Future
In April 2021, Honda global CEO Toshihiro Mibe outlined the company's vision for global sales of electrified vehicles as part of Honda's strategy to achieve carbon-neutrality for its products and corporate activities by 2050, which the campaign addresses. This vision calls for 40 percent of North American sales to be battery-electric and fuel cell electric vehicles by 2030, increasing to 80 percent by 2035, and to 100 percent by 2040.
