We made no progress in reducing CO2 emissions from automobiles, as we experienced the effects of an increase in sales of large sport utility vehicle (SUV) in North America, which makes up a large share of our global sales, and failed to produce automobiles as planned due to a parts shortage following the Great East Japan Earthquake and production adjustments made in response to damages caused by flooding in Thailand.

We dramatically reduced CO2 emissions from motorcycles as a result of major growth in sales of the Wave 110i (Thailand) and Activa (India), both fuel-efficient commuter bikes, and sales of the Biz 125 (Brazil), a flexible-fuel motorcycle (FFM).

We once again reduced emissions from power products as a result of increased sales of mid-size and hand-held engines, which produce relatively fewer emissions per unit, and the market launch of fuel-efficient products such as hybrid snowblowers, electric lawnmowers, and new outboard marine engine (BF250).
