Improvements in Fuel Efficiency

EU55is Ultra-Quiet Generator Equipped with a Sine-Wave Inverter

The EU55is generator employs Honda's original sine-wave inverter technology to deliver high-quality electrical output in a compact, low-noise design. Its ability to simultaneously output 100V and 200V single-phase current makes it ideal for both commercial and emergency use. Not only can this versatile unit be used for powering computer equipment, as an emergency power source and for recreational activities, it is also capable of powering large power tools, 200V household appliances and other heavy-duty power equipment. Honda's dual-voltage mechanism is capable of simultaneous 100V and 200V single-phase current output. Its high-efficiency inverter combines with the Eco-Throttle system to allow engine speed to be adjusted automatically for an optimum match with the power requirements of the device in use, resulting in at least 20% higher fuel efficiency^* than the EX5000.

BF90/BF75

Based on the 1.5-liter VTEC engine that powers the Fit automobile, these marine outboards feature Honda's PGM-FI (Programmed Fuel Injection). Lean-burn operation is achieved through the application of PGM-FI and an oxygen feedback sensor. The implementation of intake/exhaust roller-type rocker arms and an offset cylinder layout helps reduce internal friction. The new outboards also boast the world's first ignition timing governed by Boosted Low Speed Torque air/fuel ratio technology, and other advanced electronic control devices. Together with a lightweight, compact design, these technologies combine to offer outstanding performance and fuel efficiency. Maximum speed and acceleration are improved, while fuel consumption is reduced by more than 20% compared to the previous BF90 model.
