| Honda Commercial Vehicles for Exhibition at the 34th Tokyo Motor Show |
TOKYO, October 16, 2000 -- Honda Motor Co., Ltd. today
offered an outline of the commercial vehicle lineup it will exhibit
at the 34th Tokyo Motor Show, Commercial Vehicles 2000,
organized by the Japan Motor Industrial Federation, Inc., to be
held on November 1-4, 2000 at Makuhari Messe in Chiba,
Japan. Honda's exhibit will extend the company's "Small Is
Smart" concept to commercial vehicles under a new "Anytime,
with Honda!" theme, which proposes the creation of commercial
vehicles that are equally useful for working weekdays and
leisurely weekends alike, and that offer more attractiveness and
presence than ever before. Two different approaches to building
commercial vehicles based on the "Anytime, with Honda!"
theme will be shown:
| 1) |
Fulfilling basic values through attention to modern
requirements including increased environmental friendliness,
better safety, and the integration of new information
technologies |
| 2) |
Creating new values through commercial vehicles that go
beyond the realm of work and business to add enjoyment to
people's lives and lifestyles. |
With these, Honda hopes to propose new realms of possibility for the creation of commercial vehicles that are ideally suited to meeting the increasingly sophisticated needs of 21st century users. Honda will also introduce its ALMAS Series of special needs vehicles, developed to make non-exclusive vehicles that extend mobility and utility equally to as many people as possible. |

Honda's main stage will feature both the "mh" (pronounced "eme-ash"), a utility
vehicle filled with a spirit of playfulness and designed to create new value
through usefulness in both work and leisure alike, and an Acty Truck prototype
designed to fulfill the fundamental needs and values of future commercial
vehicles, including the high-level integration of good environmental and safety
performance with practical utility and usability. |

Honda's Commercial Vehicles Corner will feature specialized Acty Series
vehicles such as dump truck and refrigerator models, and will also show the
depth and breadth of Honda's activities through exhibits of motorcycles, electric
power generators, lawn mowers, and other items from Honda's diverse product
lineup. |
|
The Welfare Vehicles Corner will introduce Honda's Odyssey ALMAS and Life
ALMAS vehicles, both designed to ensure that freedom of mobility and
transportation can be enjoyed by as many people as possible without exclusion. |
|
The InterNavi System Try-Out Corner will offer hands-on opportunities for
visitors to experience Honda's InterNavi system, which uses a vehicle's
navigation system to link to the Internet in ways to potentially enhance business
efficiency. |
