Progress
Honda has been expanding the use of 4-stroke engines for motorcycles not only in Japan but also overseas. We completed the replacement of 2-stroke engines with 4-stroke ones for all models (excluding some special motorcycles) by the end of fiscal 2002. As a result, in fiscal 2002, sales of 4-stroke motorcycles increased and accordingly, the average fuel economy increased by 29.5% compared with the level in 1995. We will introduce the PGM-FI system to smaller motorcycles step by step, in order to achieve the 2005 target of a 30% improvement in average fuel economy.
1. Improvement in Fuel Economy for Main Models
In Europe, in fiscal 2002, we started the marketing of scooters to which the fuel injection (FI) technology was introduced to further improve the fuel economy of 4-stroke engines.
The Pantheon 125cc scooter released in the European market in January 2003 achieved a 45% improvement in fuel economy compared with the previous 2-stroke model.
