The Odyssey hybrid would be sold in global markets and would join the fifth-generation Odyssey lineup. According to the Japanese automaker, an Odyssey hybrid would offer 50 percent more fuel efficiency compared to the standard gasoline model and early development work has begun to gauge its viability.
