 In January 2014, the disassembly of the Honda Accord Hybrid was conducted at the Benchmarking Center of the Hiroshima Prefectural Technology Research Institute in Kure, Hiroshima prefecture. The event was organized by the Automotive Technology Innovation Center of the Hiroshima Industrial Promotion Organization. The first day of the event, January 17, was spent for preliminary disassembly. The final teardown took place on January 20 through 22. Nearly all components were removed from the car during the preliminary disassembly. The drive unit, Power Control Unit (PCU), and Intelligent Power Unit (IPU) consisting of the lithium-ion battery pack were disassembled during the final teardown.
