Summary
Honda plans to exhibit a VR-based virtual ride-sharing experience, EV charging equipment and resource-circulation technologies at Japan Mobility Show Bizweek 2026. Its dynamic wireless charging technology is still being prepared for further demonstration tests.
Honda plans to exhibit a VR-based virtual ride-sharing experience, EV charging equipment and resource-circulation technologies at Japan Mobility Show Bizweek 2026, which runs from October 13 to 16 at Makuhari Messe in Chiba Prefecture. The announcement describes a planned showcase, including a charging unit and a mockup for wireless charging technology.
A virtual ride shared across locations
Honda DIVE uses virtual-reality headsets to let people in different locations experience a vehicle cabin and the view outside its windows from a 360-degree perspective. Honda says participants can share conversation and music in an experience designed to make them feel as though they are travelling together.
The concept extends the idea of ride-sharing beyond people physically occupying the same vehicle. Honda says it is intended to let family members and friends connect through a virtual journey, including people who face mobility limitations. The company describes Honda DIVE as a service under demonstration testing and says it will explore mobility experiences that are less constrained by time and place.
Charging at home, on the road and at public sites
In the Japan Automobile Manufacturers Association’s joint exhibition area, Honda will display the fast-charging unit used for Honda Charge, its charging network service. Honda says the network is offered primarily at Honda Cars dealerships and other commercial facilities across Japan, with the aim of making charging more convenient as EV use grows.
The company will also show the Honda V2H Stand, a bidirectional vehicle-to-home charging device. It can send electricity stored in an EV battery to a home, either as backup power or to supply household needs such as during peak-use hours. The arrangement illustrates how an EV battery can serve as a household energy resource as well as power for transport.
Honda’s dynamic wireless power transfer (DWPT) system is intended to charge an EV while it is moving. A transmitter embedded in the road creates a magnetic field that transfers electricity to a receiver on the vehicle. Honda says the technology could contribute to vehicle range and charging convenience. It plans a mockup display and says demonstration tests are scheduled for the year ahead as it continues work toward practical application.
Recycled and bio-based motorcycle materials
The exhibition will also introduce Honda’s work on resource circulation. The listed examples are motorcycle components made with recycled polypropylene recovered from end-of-life vehicle bumpers, and unpainted motorcycle exterior panels made from bio-based plastics. Honda presents these materials as part of its efforts to address resource-use challenges through mobility products and services.
The event is organised by the Japan Automobile Manufacturers Association and is intended to encourage business co-creation between mobility companies and startups. Honda’s planned exhibits span present-day charging equipment, concepts still in demonstration testing and materials intended to make mobility products more resource-conscious.
