Honda President Takanobu Ito is expected to announce his company’s plans for plug-in hybrids, electric cars and other alternative vehicles at a news conference tomorrow morning. The Japanese automakers says its plug-in hybrid will be able to go 60km or more on a single liter of gas. This will make it more fuel-efficient that Toyota’s Prius hybrid, which gets 38km per liter.

Honda sees the new car as the next game changer in eco-friendly vehicles and will consider releasing it ahead of schedule in such major markets as the U.S. and Japan. Toyota says its forthcoming plug-in hybrid, which is based on the Prius, will get 57km to the liter. They will reportedly will release its electric car in the United States first.
