Honda has announced that it will adopt a new ‘H mark’ with a refreshed design as the symbol of its automobile business ahead of its planned application to both EV and major hybrid-electric (HEV) models.

This will start with the manufacturer’s next-generation vehicles to be introduced from 2027, in addition to being applied to other areas of its business – including dealership locations, communications initiatives, and automobile motorsport activities.

With a particular focus on the application of electrification and intelligent technologies, the new H mark embodies how Honda is planning to tackle the period of transformation currently being experienced by the automobile industry, ensuring it continues to deliver new value to its customers.

First introduced in 1963, the H mark has undergone several design changes over the years, with this latest iteration having first been introduced to mark the arrival of its next-generation EVs, including the Honda 0 Series. The design represents two outstretched hands, marking Honda’s commitment to augmenting the possibilities of mobility and serving the needs of people around the world, and will be rolled out gradually across the automobile business.

Freedom or safety for young drivers? UK can and must deliver both, says GEM 11/05/2026 SHARE: Images are for editorial use only. Experts gathering at Young Driver Focus in London on 13 May to press for action, not further delay Young drivers remain disproportionately at risk, with preventable deaths continuing on UK roads International evidence shows graduated driver licensing can cut crashes by up to 40% GEM Motoring Assist will return to the RAC Club, London, on 13 May as headline sponsor of Young Driver Focus 2026, renewing calls for decisive action to improve protection for newly-qualified drivers. Despite years of evidence and advocacy, the UK has yet to introduce a comprehensive system of graduated driver licensing (GDL) - a move GEM and other road safety groups say is costing young lives. GEM head of road safety James Luckhurst said: “We are long past the point of asking whether we should act. The evidence is overwhelming, and the consequences of delay are measured in lives lost and families devastated.” GDL is a phased approach that allows new drivers to gain experience under lower-risk conditions before progressing to full driving privileges. Common measures include limits on late-night driving and restrictions on carrying same-age passengers during the months after passing the test. International research consistently shows crash reductions of between 20% and 40% where GDL systems are in place. In some regions of Canada, reductions in young driver deaths have exceeded 80%. In the UK, drivers aged 17 to 24 account for around 20% of road deaths, despite making up just 7% of licence holders. Inexperience, distraction and overconfidence remain key risk factors - precisely the issues GDL is designed to address. GEM stresses that a well-designed system supports rather than penalises young people, and a recent TRL review1 found no significant negative impact on access to education, employment or social activity. GEM supports a system that extends structured learning, reduces known high-risk conditions and allows young drivers to build skills progressively and safely. GEM head of road safety James Luckhurst said: “We do many things well in the UK, particularly in driver training, but the current system offers too little structured support once someone passes the test. That’s where the real risk begins. “The choice is simple: continue with a system we know is failing too many young people, or take proven steps that will save lives. Doing nothing is not a neutral position - it is a decision with consequences… and Young Driver Focus offers a chance to translate the latest insight into real-world action.”
