Honda announces ProZision ZTR and Autonomous mowers

Honda Power Sports & Products announced the launch of its ProZision lineup of battery-powered zero-turn-radius (ZTR) lawn mowers, including 54-inch and 60-inch models, along with a 60-inch autonomous model—the first Honda battery-powered ZTR autonomous mower. Honda showed prototype autonomous mowers in past years at the Equip Expo event in Louisville. 

Honda said it developed the all-new ProZision lithium-ion battery-powered ZTR lawn mowers with three main objectives: to provide clean, even, best-in-class cutting on the first pass; maximum comfort and convenience for the operator; and maximum durability and reliability for the owner.

Drive System: Motors, Batteries & Charging

Honda ProZision lawn mowers are powered by five 48-volt brushless electric motors designed to stand up to the rigors of commercial landscaping: three deck motors that rotate the exclusive MicroCut Twin Blades and two drive wheel motors that maneuver the vehicle with precise control. In addition, ProZision ZTRs are fitted with six lithium-ion batteries and a 4.3-inch touchscreen display panel indicating the mower’s operation status and battery state of charge. The motors and charging system incorporate electrical quick connectors for fast and easy connection and disconnection for service. The result is easy, fast and efficient operation—more ground covered with less work. 

Three different driving modes—Rapid, Normal, and Precise—let the operator control mower speed for optimal maneuverability on a variety of turf conditions.

Cutting System & Deck

The integration of advanced features that groom grass to a smooth finish are what make ProZision lawn mowers capable of delivering a best-in-class cut. Each model uses an optimized cutting deck design and includes three MicroCut Twin Blades, offering 12 total cutting edges, resulting in finer clippings for a professional finish with less work. The chassis and main components are constructed from durable steel, with high-strength, low-alloy (HSLA) steel strategically used in key areas to provide strength while minimizing unnecessary weight. The durable frame design and low vibration support the longevity of lawn mower components.

ProZision ZTRs are the only models in their class to incorporate full mower suspension. In addition, the Honda industry-exclusive Ideal Operator Position System (IOPS) allows the ZTR operator to adjust the seat position, drive controls and handles together while moving the seat. These features make operating the mower easy and comfortable, reduce vibration and provide a smooth ride that results in less fatigue for the driver.

Honda ProZision Autonomous Lawn Mower  

Honda developed the ProZision Autonomous ZTR lawn mower to help address issues including worker safety and labor shortages, ultimately improving the efficiency of lawn care and landscape maintenance companies. The ProZision Autonomous battery-powered ZTR lawn mower, capable of operating in manual or autonomous mode, offers an eco-conscious, zero emissions turf management option and provides more choices in how landscapers service their customers. 

Operation & Modes

The ProZision Autonomous model is built on the same platform as the ProZision 60-inch model, combining high-obstacle detection and location accuracy with industry-leading cutting performance and superior operator comfort. For manual mowing, the operator can use the ProZision Autonomous mower in the same way as the manual models. For autonomous operation, the lawn mower acquires the mowing routes and patterns set by the operator. 

To set up autonomous mowing, the operator launches the Teaching Mode—manually maneuvering the ZTR to create a mowing route using the Global Navigation Satellite System (GNSS) for accurate location recognition. After teaching is complete, the operator launches the mower’s autonomous capability in Playback Mode, downloading the specified mowing route using the Honda web application on a tablet or smartphone. Once the mapping is established, automatic route optimization recalculates for better turns and coverage, providing consistent and stable grass-cutting quality on the first pass. The new autonomous lawn mower can reproduce these routes and patterns—duplicating the performance of the most skilled workers, while freeing up their time to focus on more high-value tasks, and improving overall efficiency.

The ProZision Autonomous ZTR is equipped with a load control system that automatically adjusts mowing speed to maintain professional cut quality; for example, under heavy loads, the mower slows to provide a clean, complete cut on the first pass, reducing the risk of uncut grass and grass clogging. Further, a wheel slip suppression system helps eliminate deviation from the intended path by independently controlling the speed of each drive motor. This ensures precise, straight-line tracking and stable operation—even on grades or rough ground. It can operate on a 15-degree hill in manual mode, or on a 10-degree hill in autonomous mode. In addition, the mower is equipped with an electronic deck height adjustment system that allows the user to easily select the preferred cutting height—a key function for autonomous operation when no operator is present—making it simple to achieve the desired cut finish.

The new mower also features omnidirectional sensing, providing a full 360-degree view via radar and LiDAR sensors for obstacle detection. During autonomous operation, the mower slows when an object is detected, resumes its programmed pace once the path is clear, and will stop completely if the obstacle remains. Equally important, the mower features a rear-discharge deck that directs debris backward rather than sideways, reducing the risk of hitting nearby objects or people during autonomous operation. In addition, Honda said the new model is designed for high security, protecting owner data and protecting against theft.
