Honda’s history began in 1948, the year the A-type auxiliary engine for bicycles was born. The Super Cub motorcycle series, released in 1958, is a customer favorite in 160 countries today. In 1972 Honda became the first automaker to comply with the stringent requirements of the US Clean Air Act by developing the low-emissions CVCC engine. In 2000 we introduced the world to a new humanoid robot, ASIMO. We’ve always been driven by our dreams to create the unexpected, astounding and delighting people around the globe.
Today we’re moving into another dimension of mobility with the HondaJet. We’re also pursuing the ultimate in environmentally responsible automobiles with the new FCX Concept fuel cell vehicle and developing a next-generation diesel engine with emissions on par with those of a gasoline engine. Our dreams keep turning into valuable new technologies and products. |
