Improvement in Fuel Economy

Progress towards Targets to Be Achieved by 2005 for Improvements in Fuel Economy

Targets

Up to fiscal 2005: To improve the average fuel economy* by approximately 30% (compared with fiscal 1995)

* Total average for Japan, the United States, Europe, and Thailand

Progress

Honda has expanded the use of 4-stroke engines in motorcycles not only in Japan but also overseas.
Furthermore, both within and outside Japan, we expanded the use of our FI system to include more models and developed and applied other fuel economy improvement technologies. As a result, we improved the average fuel economy by 34.2% over the 1995 level, following an improvement of 30% over the 1995 level achieved in 2003.

FORZA Z

In fiscal 2004, Honda continued to expand the use of FI technology to further improve fuel efficiency of 4-stroke engines. The FORZA Z, which went on sale in Japan in July 2004, is equipped with the PGM-FI system. In addition, it is the world’s first 250-cc scooter to feature a Honda S-Matic (electronically controlled belt converter). The fuel economy of the FORZA Z was improved by 5% (at a constant speed of 60 km/h) compared with that of the base model.
