| Safety Technologies |
Honda is committed to improving and adopting a wide range of safety technologies.
These include accident avoidance technologies, technologies that minimize the impact on passengers and pedestrians in the event of an accident,
and technologies that mitigate the impact of a collision on other vehicles.
Seeking to increase stability and ensure more effective braking control, Honda has set the target of incorporating its
Hydraulic Combined Anti-Lock Brake System into all new touring and sports bikes (250cc and above) and large-displacement scooters
by the end of 2007. We also plan to adopt the system in all 250cc-and-above bikes, except off-road models, as standard by 2010.
Moreover, all on-road and off-road models will be equipped with ABS braking.
As a leader in the European motorcycle market, Honda is committed to actively incorporating the aforementioned safety technologies
into its motorcycles, to help realize the European Commission’s plan to cut road deaths in half by 2010.
In our automobile business, Honda is demonstrating its "Safety for Everyone" commitment by incorporating a core set of
safety features as standard equipment on every vehicle we sell.
By the end of 2006, all Honda and Acura models sold in the United States and Canada will feature front-side airbags, side curtain airbags,
anti-lock brakes and pedestrian safety technologies in all but a few niche models; with Vehicle Stability Assist (VSA)
and side curtain airbags with rollover sensors as standard features in all light trucks.
Finally, Honda’s Advanced Compatibility Engineering (ACE) body structure is being introduced to all vehicles as new platforms
are introduced during full model changeovers.
