Achieving Cleaner Exhaust Gas

Targets for 2005 and Progress

Targets

Up to fiscal 2005: To reduce the average exhaust emissions* of HC and NOx by approximately 30% for new products (compared with fiscal 1995)

*Average emission levels worldwide

Progress

We were able to achieve an approximate 30% reduction in average HC and NOx emission levels in fiscal 2001. In fiscal 2004, we succeeded in realizing an approximate 38% reduction by continuously taking various measures.

Improvement in Emission Performance of Honda’s Main Models

Salad FF500

The small Salad FF500 tiller, launched in September 2004, is equipped with Honda’s e-SPEC engine GCV 160 and meets the phase 2 regulations of the U.S. EPA and Tier II standards of California’s Air Resources Board (CARB), which are the most stringent standards in the world.

* Honda names the environmental conservation technology in power equipment as e-SPEC, which represents Honda’s determination to pass down a rich natural environment to next generations.
