Driving Conservation Forward

Acura Provides Fleet of ZDX Electric Vehicles to The Nature Conservancy

Acura is providing 75 of its all-electric ZDX performance SUVs, one of America’s best-selling premium EVs in 2025, to The Nature Conservancy (TNC). These vehicles will advance TNC’s critical conservation work and accelerate its transition to a cleaner, lower-emission fleet. As the largest-ever vehicle donation by the premium performance brand, this initiative builds on a long-standing collaboration between TNC and Honda, rooted in shared environmental values.

In addition to providing the fleet of electric vehicles, the Honda family of companies in the U.S., which includes Acura, is contributing $1 million to support the charging infrastructure and operation of the Acura ZDX fleet. This funding underscores the company’s commitment to the success of the initiative while helping TNC reduce operational emissions and align with its mission to protect the planet. The Acura ZDX electric vehicles will be delivered through Acura dealers nationwide to support local TNC teams across the country as they conduct fieldwork, engage with local communities and undertake conservation in remote and rural areas.

“We’re proud to partner with The Nature Conservancy and Acura dealers across America to help advance sustainability by contributing to a lower-emissions future,” said Mike Langel, assistant vice president of Acura National Sales. “The Acura ZDX fleet will support The Nature Conservancy’s important fieldwork, enabling more efficient travel to conservation sites while reducing the environmental impact of transportation.”

“We are incredibly grateful to Acura for this donation,” said Daniel Salzer, Director of Sustainability for The Nature Conservancy. “The donation of these vehicles has significantly accelerated our efforts to electrify our fleet, reducing our carbon footprint, and setting a powerful example of climate leadership.”

Honda and TNC have a longstanding public and private sector partnership that began with the Ohio chapter of TNC over 30 years ago.

  • In 2023, Honda and the Honda USA Foundation contributed $625,000 to support TNC programs across 10 states, amplifying a Honda goal to build a sustainable future through the company’s strategic Corporate Social Responsibility Environment pillar.
  • In 2020, Honda donated 90 acres of land to TNC in Ohio, helping protect the springs and streams that combine to form the headwaters of Big Darby Creek. Honda has also supported local TNC chapters in Alabama, California, and Indiana.
  • Over 30 years ago, Honda and TNC collaborated for the first time to preserve the Big Darby Creek watershed in Ohio. Since then, Honda has contributed more than $1 million to protect the headwaters of the Big Darby Creek – one of the Midwest’s most biologically diverse aquatic systems and one of the healthiest tributaries to the Scioto River, which provides drinking water for tens of thousands of Ohioans.

Acura ZDX, the performance brand’s first all-electric model, has an EPA range rating of up to 313 miles1. Learn more about the Acura ZDX.

Change is in the air

As a testament to our commitment to explore alternative energy, the Ohio transmission plant in Russell’s Point, Ohio, became the first auto plant in America to utilize on-site wind power for a substantial portion of its energy use. This commitment to renewable energy is a driving force for the future.
