Honda Motor Co. Ltd. says the company's cumulative worldwide hybrid vehicle sales broke the 800,000-units mark at year-end 2011. Honda sold its first hybrid – the Insight – in Japan in November 1999.
The company introduced six new hybrid models over the last three years, and that variety helped push annual worldwide hybrid sales for 2011 beyond 200,000 units (up 30% compared to 2010). Honda has sold more than a half a million hybrids since 2009.
