1. Evaluation of the Ease of Vehicle Dismantling
According to the Manual for Evaluating the Ease of Vehicle Dismantling published last year, we evaluated 5 models for ease of dismantling in fiscal 2001. Accordingly, we obtained data on ease of dismantling involving liquids, parts containing substances with environmental impact, recyclable metal parts, reusable parts, and other recyclable parts such as those made of resin and glass. We will further improve the accuracy of evaluation and will use the evaluation results for product development and provision of services.
2. Infrastructure Supporting Technology
Improvement of vehicle turnover device for dismantling
We surveyed and analyzed the use of vehicle turnover devices for dismantling that we developed and put on sale in 1997. Based on the results, we improved the dismantling efficiency of the traditional model and proposed a new dismantling line plan based on the use of the device.
Measurement of actual recycling rates of Honda vehicles in the market
In fiscal 2001, jointly with a dismantler in Kitakyushu, we measured the actual recycling rates of Honda vehicles for the following two cases:
1) Pressing a vehicle into a die about 70 cm square ("A Press") and putting it into a converter for recycling as iron; and
2) Processing a vehicle using a shredder into iron and non-iron.
As a result we were able to obtain high recycling rates in both cases. This is due to our efforts to aggressively reuse parts and recycle materials.
Others
We proposed the optimal method to remove gasoline from resin fuel tanks, and supported the publication of various dismantling manuals.
