Disneyland to electrify Autopia attraction by 2027

Disneyland plans to replace the internal combustion engines in its historic Autopia attraction with fully electric vehicles by February 1, 2027. This transition follows a settlement agreement with California air pollution regulators to eliminate emissions from the Tomorrowland ride.

According to Disney Legend and original car designer Bob Gurr, the new system will utilize an electrified track rather than traditional onboard batteries. This engineering approach aims to modernize the attraction while meeting the resort’s sustainability goal of reaching net zero emissions by 2030.

Honda, the current sponsor of the attraction, is reportedly involved in ongoing discussions regarding the future of its partnership with Disneyland Resort. While the current sponsorship agreement remains in place through early 2027, Honda has declined to comment on future plans.
