Honda releases new line of battery-powered lawn mowers

Honda Power Sports & Products introduced an all-new line of battery-powered lawn mowers at Equip Exposition 2024. The battery-powered, professional-level consumer and commercial walk-behind lawn mowers, Honda HRX, HRN and HRC models, and a battery-powered Honda zero-turn-radius (ZTR) commercial lawn mower will go on sale at select Honda Power Equipment dealers nationwide in 2025.

The battery-powered, walk-behind Honda HRX-BV, HRX-BE, HRN-BV and HRC-BE lawn mowers will deliver superior quality, durability, reliability and professional-level performance — matching the Honda gas-powered lawn mower models they replace. The all-new Honda battery-powered ZTR is aimed at boosting worksite performance in the commercial landscape market to help improve the efficiency of lawn care for landscape maintenance companies, while offering an eco-conscious solution with zero emissions and reduced cutting noise that can enhance the flexibility of maintenance fleets. The Honda ZTR will be the first electrified power product produced at Honda North Carolina Manufacturing (NCM) in Swepsonville and made using domestic and globally sourced parts. NCM also recently celebrated its 40^th anniversary of production in the U.S.

The introduction of these new products fits the business direction of Honda Power Sports & Products, rooted in the global vision statement of the Honda 2030 Vision: serving people worldwide with the joy of expanding life’s potential, leading the advancement of mobility and enabling people to improve their daily lives. The Honda goal is to be the leading brand of lifestyle products that are environmentally responsible, reliable, convenient and quiet. The company is seeking to realize zero environmental impact, establishing the Triple Action to Zero initiative which targets carbon neutrality, use of clean energy and resource circulation (use of sustainable materials) by 2050.

“With the new line of Honda battery-powered lawn mowers, we will deliver the exceptional ownership experience that our customers have come to expect while providing lawn care options for a variety of users, conditions and applications,” says Mark Kohls, vice president of Honda Power Sports & Products, American Honda Motor Co., Inc. “Reducing greenhouse gas emissions is only part of the challenge, as battery-powered power products must meet Honda standards for rugged performance, ease of use and comfortable operation to meet the high expectations of our residential and commercial customers.” 

At Equip Exposition 2024, Honda will showcase its all-new battery-powered, walk-behind lawn mowers — Honda HRX, HRN and HRC models — along with the battery-powered Honda ZTR at the company’s indoor booth #3134 and in the outdoor demonstration area, space #6064D.
