Automobiles require energy. And the problems
of energy resources cannot be avoided if we are to keep the automobile
running into the future. Ecological concerns of automakers include
air pollution, the exhaustion of fossil fuels and more. It is hard
to tackle all these problems at once.
At Honda, we are using our unique, advanced technologies and vision to overcome these difficulties one by one. We have done so in the past, and will continue to do so in the future. To bring greater motoring enjoyment to everyone. |

The pursuit of environmentally sound vehicles that are also fun to drive.
Honda takes a serious approach to environmental protection with its original, high-grade engine technologies. |

| i-series Engines feature smart
technologies that improve fuel-efficiency and reduce emissions while
assuring power for enjoyable driving. Honda will continue to refine
its intelligent systems to raise i-series engine performance to even
higher levels. |

| Honda is further refining its Honda IMA System-an original hybrid system that uses a gasoline engine as its main power source, with electric motor assist when necessary. The result is fun driving combined with high fuel economy and environmental performance. The Civic Hybrid is equipped with our latest IMA System, which delivers more power and even greater efficiency. |

| The fuel cell is in the spotlight as a clean, ultra-low polluting alternative to fossil fuels. Honda's compact, lightweight FC power unit has cleared a number of performance hurdles, delivering increased driving range and faster acceleration than ever before. Last year, we began testing an FC vehicle equipped with this newly-designed power unit on public roads, first in the U.S. and then in Japan. We plan to have a production model on the market in 2003. |

We are conducting research into recyclable materials and employ easily disassembled parts and disassembly designs in pursuit of our goal of a 100% recycling rate with zero waste. |
