China, a nation with a population that is greater than one billion, has some the worst air quality in the world. In an effort to help fix this issue, Honda is sending over 3 new "green" variants of their 2012 models.

Two potential model variants being sent to dealerships in China could include Honda Civic CNG (compressed natural gas), and the Honda Fit EV, which is currently offered only in Japan.

The Japanese automaker's goal is to sell more fuel-efficient vehicles in China to boost sales and also to comply with China's latest strict emission standards. Honda also boosted funds for research and development of hybrids in China.

"China's emission standards will be one of the strictest in the world going forward," Seiji Kuraishi, Head of China operations, said recently. "If we don't increase the number of green cars here, it would be hard to grow sales."¹
