Honda Motor Co., Ltd. (本田技研工業株式会社 ''Honda Giken Kōgyō Kabushiki Kaisha'') is a Japanese manufacturer of automobile, truck, motorcycle, and scooter. They also make all-terrain vehicle, electrical generator, marine engines, and lawn and garden equipment. With more than 14 million internal combustion engines built each year, Honda is the largest engine-maker in the world. In 2004, the company began to produce diesel motors, which are very quiet and do not require particulate filters to pass pollution standards. Honda's high-end line of cars are branded Acura in North America. Like other Japanese automakers, Honda automobiles are well known for their dependability and longevity. Honda is headquartered in Tokyo. Their shares trade on the Tokyo Stock Exchange, the New York Stock Exchange, as well as exchanges in Osaka, Osaka, Nagoya, Sapporo, Kyoto, Fukuoka, London, Paris and Switzerland. American Honda Motor Co., is based in Torrance, CA. Their agency of record is Rubin Postaer and Associates. ==Company history== Soichiro Honda began by manufacturing piston rings in November 1937. He quickly became a sub-contractor to Toyota. Honda then expanded into other engine parts and even airscrews. On September 24, 1948, Soichiro Honda took advantage of a gap in the Japanese market. Decimated by World War II, Japan was starved of money and fuel, but still in need of basic transport. Honda, utilizing his manufacturing facilities, attached an engine to a bicycle, creating the cheap and efficient transport that was required. Honda quickly began to produce a range of scooters and motorcycles. By the late 1960s, Honda had conquered most world markets. The Great Britain were especially slow to respond to the Honda introduction of electric starters to motorcycles. By the 1970s, Honda was the largest producer of motorcycles in the world, a title it has never relinquished. Honda began producing road cars in 1960, mostly intended for the Japanese market. Though participating in international motorsport (see #Racing history), Honda was having difficulty selling its automobiles in the United States. Built for Japanese buyers, Honda's small cars had failed to gain the interest of American buyers. Honda finally established a foothold in the American market in 1972 with the introduction of the Honda Civic—larger than their previous models, but still small compared to the typical American car—just as the 1970s energy crisis was impacting worldwide economies. New emissions laws in the US, requiring American car makers to affix expensive catalytic converters to exhaust systems (noticeably increasing sticker prices). However, Honda's introduction of the 1975 Civic CVCC, CVCC being a variation on the stratified charge engine, allowed the Civic to pass emissions tests without a catalytic converter. In 1976, the Honda Accord was immediately popular because of its economy and fun-to-drive nature; Honda had found its niche in the United States. In 1982, Honda was the first Japanese car manufacturer to build factory in the US, starting with an Accord plant in Ohio. They now have plants in Marysville, Ohio, Anna, Ohio, and East Liberty, Ohio, as well as in Lincoln, Alabama, Alabama (Honda Manufacturing of Alabama), and plan to open a new plant in Tallapoosa, Georgia, Georgia (U.S. state). Honda's North American headquarters are located in Torrance, California. Honda was also the first Japanese automaker to introduce a separate luxury line of vehicles. Created in 1986 and known as Acura, the line is made up of modified versions of Honda vehicles usually with more power and sportiness than their Honda counterparts. In 1989, Honda launched its VTEC variable valve timing system in its car engines, which gave improved efficiency and performance across a broader range of engine speeds. This technology is now standard in most Honda cars. For the 2007 model year, Honda plans to improve the safety of its vehicles by providing front-seat side airbags, side-curtain airbags, and anti-lock brakes as standard equipment in all automobiles available in North America (except the Honda Insight, Honda S2000, and Acura NSX, which will not have side-curtain airbags). By 2006, Honda plans to have as standard equipment Vehicle Safety Assist and rollover sensors in all light trucks, including the Honda CR-V, Honda Odyssey, and Acura MDX. Honda also plans to make its vehicles safer for pedestrians, with more safely-designed hoods, hinges, frame constructs, and breakaway wiper pivots. ==Racing history== Soichiro Honda, being a race driver himself, could not stay out of international motorsport. In 1959, Honda entered five motorcycles into the Isle of Man TT race, the most prestigious motorcycle race in the world. While always having good power, it took until 1961 for Honda to tune their chassis well enough to allow Mike Hailwood to claim their first race victories in the 125 and 250 Cubic centimetre classes. Hailwood would later pick up their first senior TT win in 1966. Honda also surprised everyone by entering Formula One in 1963, just three short years after producing their first road car. They began development in 1962 of the RA271 and startled the European-dominated Formula One garages with their all-Japanese factory team (except for American drivers Ronnie Bucknum and Richie Ginther). More startling was the fact that Honda built their own engine and chassis, something only Scuderia Ferrari had traditionally done. In only their second year of competition, Honda reached the coveted top step of the podium with Ginther's win in the RA272 at the 1965 Mexican Grand Prix. Honda backed up their Grand Prix victory by dominating the 1966 Formula 2 season, winning every race that year with Jack Brabham's Brabham Racing Organisation. In 1968, Jo Schlesser was killed in a Honda RA302 at the 1968 French Grand Prix. This racing tragedy, coupled with their commercial difficulties selling automobiles in the United States, prompted Honda to withdraw from all international motorsport that year. They returned to Formula One in 1983 as an engine supplier for Spirit_(racing_team) and stayed in the sport for a decade, at various times teaming with Lotus_Cars, Team McLaren, Tyrrell and WilliamsF1. Honda supplied engines to six List of Formula One champions, as well as five driver championships, before dropping out of the sport again. But they returned again to F1 in 2000, providing engines for British American Racing; after a tough few years, they were able to achieve second place in the 2004 Formula One season. In all, Honda-powered cars have won 75 Grand Prix. ==Honda's strategy== During the 1960s, when it was a small manufacturer, Honda broke out of the Japanese motorcycle market and began exporting to the US. Taking Honda’s story as an archetype of the smaller manufacturer entering a new market already occupied by highly dominant competitors, the story of their market entry, and their subsequent huge success in the US and around the world, has been the subject of some academic controversy. Competing explanations have been advanced to explain Honda’s strategy and the reasons for their success. The first of these explanations was put forward when, in 1975, Boston Consulting Group (BCG) was commissioned by the United Kingdom government to write a report explaining why and how the British motorcycle industry had been out-competed by its Japanese competitors. The report concluded that the Japanese firms, including Honda, had sought a very high scale of production (they had made a large number of motorbikes) in order to benefit from economies of scale and learning curve effects. It blamed the decline of the British motorcycle industry on the failure of British managers to invest enough in their businesses to profit from economies of scale and economies of scope. The second story is told in 1984 by Richard Pascale, who had interviewed the Honda executives responsible for the firm’s entry into the US market. As opposed to the tightly focused strategy of low cost and high scale that BCG accredited to Honda, Pascale found that their entry into the US market was a story of “miscalculation, serendipity, and organizational learning” – in other words, Honda’s success was due to the adaptability (and hard work) of its staff, rather than any tightly formed, long term strategy. For example, Honda’s initial plan on entering the US was to compete in large motorcycles, around 300cc. It was only when the team found that the scooters they were using to get themselves around their US base of San Francisco attracted positive interest from consumers that they came up with the idea of selling the Supercub. The most recent school of thought on Honda’s strategy was put forward by Gary Hamel and C. K. Prahalad in 1989. Creating the concept of core competency with Honda as an example, they argued that Honda’s success was due to its focus on leadership in the technology of internal combustion engines. For example, the high power-to-weight ratio engines Honda produced for its racing bikes provided technology and expertise which was transferable into mopeds. Honda's entry into the US motorcycle market during the 1960s is used as a case study for teaching introductory strategy at many business schools worldwide. ==Car models== *Honda Accord *Honda Ballade *Honda Beat *Honda City *Honda Civic *Honda Civic CRX *Honda Civic del Sol *Honda Civic Hybrid *Honda Concerto *Honda CR-V *Honda Element *Honda EV Plus, an electric vehicle *Honda FCX, a fuel cell vehicle [http://www.hondacorporate.com/fcx/] *Honda FR-V, a 6 seater *Honda HSC *Honda Insight, a hybrid electric vehicle *Honda Inspire *Honda Integra *Honda Jazz or Fit *Acura Legend *Honda Logo *Honda MDX *Honda N360, a Keicar *Honda N600 *Honda NSX *Honda Odyssey *Honda Passport *Honda Pilot *Honda Prelude *Honda Ridgeline *Honda S2000 *Honda S600 *Honda Today *Honda Z600 *Honda Z During the late 1980s and early 1990s, Honda collaborated with Rover (car) in the development and marketing of the Sterling (car) car. ==Mopeds and light motorcycles== *Ape models *Cub Series *CT Series *ST Series *S Series Sports models *Z Series Monkey models *MB/T/X Series Two-stroke models ==Motorcycle models== *Honda CB series *Honda CM series *Honda CX series *Honda CBR series *Honda XR series (Dirt and dual-sport Bikes) *HawkGT NT650 (''NT650'') *Honda VF and VFR *Honda VT series *Honda VTX series *Honda ST series *Honda Valkyrie *Honda GL series (''Goldwing'') *Honda Dax ==Off Road Models== *XR650R *XR650L *XR400R *CRF250X CRF450X *XR250R *CRF230F *CRF150F *CRF100F *CRF80F *CRF70F *CRF50F ==Motocross Models== *CRF450R *CR250R *CRF250R *CR125R *CR85R *CR85R Expert ==Scooter models== *Silver Wing *Silver Wing ABS *Reflex *Reflex ABS *Elite 80 *Express *[Metropolitan] *Metropolitan II *Ruckus *Honda NH series ==Robots== *ASIMO, a bipedal humanoid robot ==Engines== *See List of Honda engines ==Related Topics== *Acura *Honda Type-R *VTEC == External links == * [http://www.honda.com/ Official site] * [http://www.vtec.net/ Temple of VTEC, enthusiast site] * [http://www.honda-tech.com/ Honda-Tech, technical expertise] * [http://automobiles.honda.com/ Official automobiles site (US)] * [http://powersports.honda.com/ Official motorcycles site (US)] * [https://estore.honda.com/ Official parts and accessories site] * [http://www.nsxprime.com/ NSX Prime, NSX enthusiast site and technical expertise] * [http://www.hondashowoff.com/ HondaShowOff, enthusiast site] * [http://www.hondamotorcycle.net Honda motorcycle resources, SOHC4 enthusiast site] *EPA_2004_fuel_economy_report_appendix_M2#Honda == References == * "Move Over, Volvo: Honda Sets New Safety Standard for Itself", an article in the "News" section of the March, 2004 issue of ''Motor Trend'', on page 32 * [http://world.honda.com/investors/annualreport/2004/46.html 2004 Annual Corporate Report] Companies of Japan Honda Motorcycle manufacturers Scooter manufacturers Formula One constructors Formula One engine manufacturers Companies traded on the Tokyo Stock Exchange als:Honda
Honda (automobile) is NOT a good name for this article, as the company makes more than only automobiles. It is by far the most common use for the name Honda. If you think it should move to a different name, please try proposing the move FIRST on Wikipedia:Requested moves and waiting for some discussion and consensus. 02:07, May 5, 2005 (UTC) : Quite true. On a related note, I think this article should incorporate more about Honda's history in manufacturing motorcycles. For example, while Honda's American headquarters are in Torrance, California and the plant in Marysville, Ohio began manufacturing the Accord in 1982, Honda of America Manufacturing actually began in 1979 with the manufacturing of motorcycles at the Marysville plant. (See [http://corporate.honda.com/america/index.aspx Honda's corporate website] for more details.) : My vote: Keep the article as entitled, disambiguate at the top of the page to other possible meanings of the word "honda" that aren't related to the company, and expand on Honda's non-automotible endeavours elsewhere in the article. -User:SwissCelt 06:26, 18 May 2005 (UTC) :: Good point on the motorcycles. The ommision of the Super Cub is a bit dissapointing. It secured Honda's position in both Japan and the US. The mentioning of the electric starters is somewhat a homage to it, but it was more than that. It was a no-BS, reliable model that caught on world-wide. The "You meet the nicest people on a Honda" advertisements helped successfully change the American image of bikers from macho leather jacket (had to be strong to get them to start) wearing grease-monkeys (had to be willing to get dirty to keep them running). Honda's web site calls the Super Cub the best selling "vehicle" ever, with over 30 million units sold. :: The other important motorcycle would be the Nighthawk CB750. What the Super Cub did to utilitarian motorcyrcles, the Nighthawk did to performance ones. It blew everything else away, forcing the rest of the industry to try and play catch up. The success of the Nighthawk also helped cement their status of being the top motorcycle manufacturer for the last few decades. ::I'm told that both of those models have been in recent production, with a few slight revisions to each. To me, engineering complex machines like that can barely be improved upon decades later is the stuff of legends. Those two motorcycles shook up their industry far more than the mentioned CVCC and VTEC engines will ever do. -User:65.172.30.73 06:21, June 2, 2005 (UTC)

Nice, but huge. Honda makes tons of things - maybe we should use different templates for different product lines in order to squish it down some? For instance, we could make a Template:Honda automobiles for just the cars and trucks, another Template:Honda motorcycles, etc... Also, the logos are usually 25px, not 100px. I gotta improve my Mazda and M-B templates! --User:Sfoskett 18:09, Oct 19, 2004 (UTC) :OK, I worked on Template:Mazda. I tried adding most models and keeping the space usage down... --User:Sfoskett 18:36, Oct 19, 2004 (UTC)

The "You meet the nicest people on a Honda" advertisements helped successfully change the American image of bikers from macho leather jacket (had to be strong to get them to start) wearing grease-monkeys (had to be willing to get dirty to keep them running). Honda's web site calls the Super Cub the best selling "vehicle" ever, with over 30 million units sold. :: The other important motorcycle would be the Nighthawk CB750. What the Super Cub did to utilitarian motorcyrcles, the Nighthawk did to performance ones. It blew everything else away, forcing the rest of the industry to try and play catch up. The success of the Nighthawk also helped cement their status of being the top motorcycle manufacturer for the last few decades. ::I'm told that both of those models have been in recent production, with a few slight revisions to each. To me, engineering complex machines like that can barely be improved upon decades later is the stuff of legends. Those two motorcycles shook up their industry far more than the mentioned CVCC and VTEC engines will ever do. -User:65.172.30.73 06:21, June 2, 2005 (UTC)

Nice, but huge. Honda makes tons of things - maybe we should use different templates for different product lines in order to squish it down some? For instance, we could make a Template:Honda automobiles for just the cars and trucks, another Template:Honda motorcycles, etc... Also, the logos are usually 25px, not 100px. I gotta improve my Mazda and M-B templates! --User:Sfoskett 18:09, Oct 19, 2004 (UTC) :OK, I worked on Template:Mazda. I tried adding most models and keeping the space usage down... --User:Sfoskett 18:36, Oct 19, 2004 (UTC)
