What does this mean, if anything? How would it be possible for a car company to be carbon neutral? Is this just nonsense/posturing since it’s so long from now?

    There will for sure be some “Creativity” with their numbers.

    “Carbon Neutral” will only apply to the manufacturing of the product, not the life of the product.
    It will probably also only apply to the assembly that is done in-house. It might not apply to things like the tires.

    It will also probably be done through some bulllshit “carbon credits”, which are about as honest and reliable as those “no, our $2 chocolate definitely didn’t use any child labour, and the farmers definitely aren’t paid slave-wages.” badges you find on foods.

      Ah this makes sense. Seems like they are trying to say Honda’s impact on the planet will be carbon neutral, which seems impossible.
